Most of the post-war semis and ex-council houses around Brownhills and Clayhanger still have the original set-up of a cold water tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder upstairs, which makes a new boiler here a conversion more often than a like-for-like swap. That changes the pipework, frees up the airing cupboard and takes longer, so the gas supply and flue position are checked before any price is given.

A few homes on the edges of Brownhills, out toward Chasewater and Hammerwich, are not on mains gas and run on oil or LPG instead. Where a gas main runs nearby, it is worth finding out whether a connection is possible before choosing a new boiler, because it changes the options completely.

What's involved

New Boiler Installation in Brownhills: what's involved

Tank and cylinder conversions

Most Brownhills housing was plumbed for a loft tank and an airing cupboard cylinder. Taking that out and going combi is the commonest job here, and it is a two-day one, not a swap.

The flue route worked out first

On the semis around Clayhanger the flue often has to go through a gable rather than straight out. We settle that before quoting, not on the morning.

A fixed written price

Everything included - gas run, flue, filter, controls, making good. If we have missed something that is our problem, not a variation.

Registered and taken away

Old boiler and cylinder removed and disposed of, and the installation registered with Gas Safe and Building Control on your behalf.

Tank-fed systems converted

The loft tank and cylinder removed and the system converted, freeing up the airing cupboard.

Off-mains homes advised honestly

Where a home has no mains gas, the options are explained plainly, including whether a nearby connection is realistic.

Questions about New Boiler Installation

How long does a new boiler take in Brownhills?

A straight swap is a day. A conversion from tank and cylinder, which is most of the older stock around Clayhanger and Walsall Wood, is two - there is pipework to rework and a cupboard to make good.

Can we keep the airing cupboard?

You can, but nearly everyone wants the space back once they see the room a combi frees up. We price both options so you can decide what that cupboard is actually worth to you.

Is the gas supply pipe usually big enough?

On the older Brownhills properties, often not. A modern boiler needs more gas than a 1980s one and an undersized supply makes it underperform. We check it at survey rather than discovering it at commissioning.

What happens to the loft tank when a combi is fitted?

It is drained and usually removed along with the hot water cylinder, and the old pipework is capped and tidied. The loft and the airing cupboard are freed up.

Can I have a gas boiler if my house is not on mains gas?

Not a mains gas boiler unless the property is connected. An LPG boiler is one option, and where a gas main runs nearby a new connection may be possible, which is worth asking the network operator about first.
