New boilers for Idle homes

Idle has a real mix of homes, from the stone cottages and terraces around the old village centre to 1930s semis and the post-war houses of Thorpe Edge. Older properties often still have a hot water cylinder and tanks in the loft, and we regularly convert these to modern combi boilers, which frees up space and gives you hot water on demand.

With our base just minutes away in Eccleshill, we can survey, quote and fit at a time that suits you, and get to you quickly if something goes wrong.

A recent installation on New Street, Idle: our customer’s old Alpha combi boiler had failed on the heating after repeatedly breaking down over the last couple of years, so they decided to replace it. We talked them through a range of boiler options and they chose a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 1000 30kW combi, with a 5-year parts and labour guarantee, plus a new thermostat and magnetic filter included.

Frequently asked questions about boilers in Idle

If your question is not answered here, give us a call on 01274 317169.

  • Do you cover Idle and the surrounding areas?

    Yes. We work across Idle BD10 and nearby, including Thackley, Thorpe Edge, Greengates, Apperley Bridge, Five Lane Ends and Wrose. Our base in Eccleshill is just minutes away.

  • How quickly can you come out for a boiler breakdown in Idle?

    We aim to offer same-day repairs where we can, subject to availability. Call us on 01274 317169 and we will give you the earliest slot we have.

  • How much does a boiler service cost in Idle?

    A standard boiler service is £85, for all makes and models of gas boiler.

  • How much does a new combi boiler cost in Idle?

    Our packages start from £1,650 inc. VAT. Your exact price depends on the boiler and your home, and we confirm it after a free survey. See our boiler installation page for prices.

  • Which boiler is right for me?

    It depends on the size of your home and how much hot water you use at once. We will recommend the right boiler after a free, no-obligation survey, and we are not tied to one manufacturer.

  • Can you convert my old boiler and hot water cylinder to a combi?

    Yes. This is common in older Idle homes. A conversion can take up to 3 days, and we remove the old cylinder and tanks.

  • Where will my new boiler be located?

    Around 85% of the time it goes where the old one was. If you would like it moved, we can advise on the best position.

  • Why does my new boiler need a thermostat?

    Building regulations require suitable controls with every new boiler, so a wireless thermostat is included. It also helps you control your heating and save on bills.

  • Do I need a magnetic filter on my boiler?

    We fit one as standard. It catches the black sludge (magnetite) that causes most internal boiler failures, so it helps your new boiler last longer.

  • What warranty will I get with my new boiler?

    Between 5 and 10 years depending on the boiler, and up to 12 years on many Worcester Bosch installations. The boiler needs a service every year to keep the warranty valid.

  • Do you provide landlord gas safety certificates in Idle?

    Yes. A landlord gas safety certificate is £75 for a boiler and cooker or hob, or £120 with a gas fire. See our landlord page.

Julian booked us in and serviced the boiler today what a great customer experience had by us. Absolutely brilliant customer service and care. He’s professional and would recommend him to anyone looking for a gas engineer. He emailed me the safety certificate and filled out our service record for the boiler warranty. Can’t honestly praise him enough.

This is the third year that Julian has serviced my gas boiler. I received a timely email advising me of its due date and we arranged a suitable date for it to be done. On the day, Julian arrived at the agreed time and completed the service in good time. An efficient engineer and highly recommended.

Great service from start to finish.  I had a 20+ year old boiler and 6 radiators replaced.  Competitively priced and all work carried out quickly and efficiently.  Julian was really helpful with everything from recommending the best boiler for me to making sure everything was working perfectly.

Used Julian again today after being with him for quite a number of years now.  Another fantastic quality job today from him in installing 2 radiators and giving me a landlord gas cert.  Gave me a central heating flush also.   Keen eye for whats going on plumbing wise in general also as he recognized i had a blockage in the mains water in pipe to the boiler as the flow was low.   Made right.    Best plumber i have ever used end of.
