Boiler Conversions in Bishop's Stortford
Switch from an old tank-fed system to a modern combi or system boiler. Our Gas Safe engineers handle the whole job: tanks out, pipework updated, new boiler in.
Boiler conversions
Upgrade your whole heating setup, not just the boiler
A boiler conversion means changing the type of heating system in your home, not just replacing the boiler. The most common conversion is moving from a regular boiler, with tanks in the loft and a cylinder in the airing cupboard, to a modern combi or system boiler.
Done properly, a conversion can free up space, improve water pressure and make your heating more efficient. It is a bigger job than a like-for-like swap, so we survey your home first, explain exactly what is involved and give you a clear, fixed quote before any work starts.

FAQs
Boiler Conversions: your questions answered
What is involved in a boiler conversion?
We survey your home, then remove the old boiler and any tanks or cylinder no longer needed, cap off redundant pipework, update the pipework, gas supply, flue and condensate where required, clean the system, and fit and commission the new boiler. The work is notified under Building Regulations through Gas Safe.
How long does a boiler conversion take?
Most conversions take two to three days, depending on the type of conversion and the pipework in your home. We will confirm the timescale with your quote.
Will my old radiators cope with a pressurised system?
Combi and system boilers run at a higher pressure than open-vented systems. During the survey we check your radiators, valves and pipework, and let you know if anything should be replaced to avoid leaks.
Is a conversion more expensive than a like-for-like replacement?
Usually, yes, because there is more pipework and removal involved. We give you a clear, fixed quote after the survey so there are no surprises, and finance is available to spread the cost.
Should I convert to a combi or a system boiler?
A combi suits smaller homes with one main bathroom and good mains pressure. A system boiler with an unvented cylinder suits homes with two or more bathrooms. We will recommend the right option for your household.
Will I get space back?
Yes. Converting removes the tanks from your loft, and a combi conversion also frees up the airing cupboard where the cylinder used to be.
