That housing mix means the majority of installations we carry out here are one of three jobs: a straight combi-for-combi swap where a 2000s boiler has reached the end of its life, a back-boiler or floor-standing boiler removal with a wall-mounted combi taking its place, or a conventional vented system converted to a sealed combi with the loft tanks stripped out. ### Who it's for Homeowners whose boiler is over twelve years old, on its second or third expensive repair, or losing pressure faster than it can be topped up. Landlords with CV2 rentals who need a compliant, efficient appliance and a clean paper trail. Families whose current boiler simply can't keep up with two bathrooms or a converted loft bedroom. ### When to replace rather than repair As a rough rule: if the repair quote is over a third of a replacement cost, if the boiler is non-condensing, or if parts are becoming scarce for the model, replacement is the better financial decision. We'll tell you honestly when a repair is the smarter call — we fix boilers as well as fit them, so there is no incentive for us to push you towards the bigger job. ### Why local matters here Our base is inside CV2. If something needs adjusting a week after commissioning — a thermostat pairing, a radiator that's slow to warm, a condensate route you'd like tidied — we're a short drive, not a scheduling problem. That proximity is the practical reason most of our Wyken work comes from neighbours of previous customers. What happens if it's ignored ## The cost of waiting. Wyken's older housing stock creates a specific set of boiler problems worth getting ahead of. ### Common mistakes we see - Buying on kW output alone rather than on hot-water flow rate and radiator load - Accepting a quote that doesn't state whether a system flush and filter are included - Leaving the old loft tanks in place 'in case' after a combi conversion - Not registering the installation with Gas Safe and the manufacturer, which voids the warranty - Siting the flue where it plumes across a neighbour's boundary or an opening window ### Back boilers running long past their sell-by date Plenty of Wyken semis still have a gas back boiler behind the living-room fireplace. They are typically 55–65% efficient, meaning roughly a third of every pound of gas goes up the chimney, and spares for many models are no longer manufactured. ### Sludge from decades-old steel radiators A new condensing boiler dropped onto an unflushed 1950s system will pull black magnetite through its heat exchanger within months. Manufacturer warranties routinely exclude damage from system contamination, so skipping the flush can cost you the warranty as well as the boiler. ### Undersized or corroded gas supply pipework Older properties are often fed by 15mm gas pipe that was fine for a back boiler but starves a modern 30kW combi. Working gas rate has to be verified at the appliance, not assumed. ### Nowhere legal for the condensate to go Condensing boilers produce acidic condensate. Run externally without insulation and correct fall, it freezes on the first hard Coventry frost and locks the boiler out — usually on the coldest night of the year. Our process ## A clear, documented system — every visit, every job. 1. 01 ### 1\. Survey at the property We measure the radiators, check the gas meter and pipe run, look at the hot-water demand across your bathrooms and taps, and inspect the existing flue route and condensate options. 2. 02 ### 2\. Heat-loss and flow-rate sizing Output is calculated from the property, not guessed from the old boiler's badge. We also measure incoming mains flow rate, because a combi cannot deliver hot water faster than your mains can supply it. 3. 03 ### 3\. Written estimated quote within 24 hours Itemised: appliance, flue, filter, flush, controls, gas works, making good, and the warranty term. Usually two or three options so you can see what the extra spend actually buys. 4. 04 ### 4\. Installation day Dust sheets down, water and gas isolated, old appliance stripped out and removed. Most straight swaps are a single day; back-boiler removals and system conversions are typically two. 5. 05 ### 5\. Flush, filter and commission Chemical or power flush as specified, magnetic filter fitted, inhibitor dosed, gas rate and combustion checked and recorded, controls paired and set to your routine. 6. 06 ### 6\. Handover and registration We walk you through the controls, leave the benchmark logbook completed, and register the installation with Gas Safe and the manufacturer so your warranty is live. Benefits ## What you actually get. ### Minutes from your door Ambler Grove is inside CV2, so surveys, installation and any follow-up call are all short local journeys. ### Back-boiler specialists Removals, chimney liner considerations, builder's opening make-good and full combi conversions are routine work for us in Wyken. ### One-year workmanship guarantee On top of the manufacturer's appliance warranty, which we register on your behalf. ### Written quotes before anything starts You approve a figure before we lift a spanner. No day-of-install surprises. ### Open 24/7 If your existing boiler dies overnight, you're not waiting for an office to open before you can speak to someone. ### Tidy van, tidy job Old appliance and packaging taken away, floors protected, work area left clean. In depth ## Materials, methods and variations. The technical detail behind a Wyken boiler installation, in plain English. [Discuss your project](/contact) ### Back boiler to combi conversion in a Wyken semi The typical sequence is: isolate and drain, remove the fire front and back-boiler casing, cap and remove the redundant gas run, decide whether the chimney is being lined for a future stove or sealed with a ventilated cap, then build out the new combi position — usually the kitchen wall or an upstairs airing cupboard. Hot and cold feeds are re-routed in 22mm and 15mm copper, the vented cylinder and loft cold-water storage tanks come out, and the loft is left clear. The old builder's opening is boarded and made good ready for decoration. It is a two-day job in most Wyken semis and the single biggest efficiency jump available to those houses. ### Sizing a combi for a three-bed CV2 house Space-heating demand in a typical Wyken three-bed with reasonable loft insulation is usually 9–14kW. Hot water is what drives the headline number: a 24–26kW combi gives roughly 10–11 litres per minute, a 30kW around 12–13 l/min, and a 35kW around 14 l/min. If your incoming mains only delivers 12 l/min, paying for a 35kW appliance buys you nothing at the tap. We measure the mains first and size to what the house can actually use. ### When a system boiler beats a combi Wyken has a fair number of extended semis with a second shower or an en-suite added over the years. Two showers running at once will defeat any combi. In those homes a system boiler with an unvented cylinder — typically 180–210 litres — is the better answer, giving mains-pressure hot water to multiple outlets simultaneously. It needs cylinder space and an annual G3 check, both of which we cover in the quote. ### Flushing, filters and inhibitor On a 1950s system with original or part-replaced steel radiators, we specify a power flush rather than a chemical cleanse. A magnetic filter — typically an ADEY MagnaClean or Fernox TF1 — is fitted on the return, and the system is dosed with inhibitor to the manufacturer's concentration. This combination is what most warranties require in writing, and it is what keeps a new heat exchanger clear. ### Controls worth having Weather compensation or load compensation lets the boiler run at lower flow temperatures, which is where condensing efficiency actually happens. Smart controls (Nest, Hive, Tado) are popular and we'll fit whichever you prefer, but a properly commissioned programmable room thermostat with TRVs balanced across the house delivers most of the saving on its own. ### Documentation you should receive A completed benchmark checklist in the boiler manual, a Gas Safe building-regulations notification, manufacturer warranty registration, your commissioning figures (gas rate, working pressure, combustion analysis) and the itemised invoice. Keep them together — you'll need them for warranty claims and when you sell the house.
