Boiler installation & replacement

Whether your old boiler has finally given up or you're upgrading to a more efficient system, CTL handles the whole job: helping you choose the right boiler for your home, fitting it properly, and commissioning it so it runs safely and efficiently from day one.

Every quote starts with a free home visit rather than a price guessed over the phone. We look at how many radiators and bathrooms you have, the condition of the existing pipework, where the flue can safely terminate and what your hot water demand actually looks like, then size the boiler to the house. An oversized boiler costs more to buy and cycles wastefully; an undersized one leaves you short on the coldest morning of the year.

We install gas, LPG and oil boilers from leading manufacturers. As an OFTEC certified engineer we can also look after the fuels many gas-only firms won't touch, so rural and off-grid homes across Kent are covered too.

Every gas installation is carried out and certified by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The person who quotes your job is the person who fits it, so the standard you're promised is the standard you get.

New gas boilers fitted in England have to meet the Boiler Plus standard that came in on 6 April 2018: at least 92% ErP efficiency, with time and temperature controls fitted if they aren't already there. A new combi has to include one energy-saving measure on top of that, either flue gas heat recovery, weather compensation, load compensation, or smart controls with automation and optimisation. We'll explain which of those makes sense in your home and fit it as part of the job, so the installation is compliant without you having to chase anyone for it.

Because CTL is Gas Safe registered, we notify your installation to Gas Safe Register ourselves. The register tells your local authority, and your Building Regulations Compliance Certificate is posted out to you afterwards. That certificate belongs to the property rather than to you personally, so it's worth filing somewhere safe: it's the document a buyer's solicitor or a mortgage lender will ask to see later on.

Fitting a new boiler to a dirty system is the most common reason a good installation underperforms. Years of sludge sitting in old steel radiators gets drawn straight into a brand new heat exchanger, and it can quietly undo the efficiency you've just paid for. We'll tell you honestly whether your system needs a power flush before the new boiler goes on, or whether a simpler clean will do the job.
