DJ's Plumbing Services is based in Romford and installs boilers across the town. The most common job here is a conversion: taking out a back boiler behind a gas fire, or a regular boiler with a hot water cylinder and loft tanks, and replacing it with a combi or a system boiler in a better spot.

Every installation starts with a survey and a heat loss calculation, so the boiler is sized to the house rather than guessed at. On the day, that means new pipework and a flue routed to current regulations, a system cleanse and inhibitor to BS 7593, a signed Benchmark commissioning checklist, and the installation notified through Gas Safe for Building Regulations.

What's Different in Romford Homes

  • Interwar semis across Romford often still have a regular boiler, a cylinder in the airing cupboard and tanks in the loft, so an installation is usually a full conversion rather than a swap.
  • Back boilers behind gas fires still turn up in older Romford houses; removing one means capping the gas and making good the fireplace opening.
  • In flats, where the flue can terminate is often the deciding factor for the boiler's position, and a vertical flue or plume kit is sometimes needed.
  • Larger houses with two or more bathrooms may be better served by a system boiler and cylinder than a combi, and we check the mains flow before advising.
  • Hard water in Havering makes the BS 7593 cleanse and inhibitor, and a scale reducer where needed, important for protecting a new boiler's heat exchanger.

Boiler Installation in Romford: Questions

Clear answers to your most common plumbing concerns.

Can you replace the back boiler behind our gas fire in Romford?
Yes. We remove the back boiler, cap the gas safely, drain and remove the old cylinder and loft tanks if you're going to a combi, and run new pipework to the new boiler's position, usually a kitchen or utility cupboard. We'll talk through what happens to the fireplace opening before work starts.
Will a combi work in our Romford flat?
In most flats, a combi is the natural choice, since it needs no cylinder or tanks. The main questions are where the flue can go under the regulations and whether the mains flow is strong enough, both of which we check on the survey.
How do you decide what size boiler we need?
From a heat loss calculation for the house, plus the hot water demand: how many bathrooms and how many people. An oversized boiler costs more and runs less efficiently; an undersized one can't keep up in cold weather or when two showers run.
What paperwork do we get after a boiler installation?
A signed Benchmark commissioning checklist, the manufacturer's registration for the warranty, and the Gas Safe Building Regulations notification, which is sent to you and your local council. Keep them together; you'll need them if you sell the house.
