Get a fixed price for a new boiler online, then have a Gas Safe registered engineer fit it at your Brighton or Hove home or flat, often as soon as the next day. Replacement gas boilers in Brighton cover combi swaps, system boilers, back boiler removals and full heating upgrades.
Brighton and Hove have Regency and Victorian houses converted into flats, conservation areas and listed buildings, and large villas in Hove. Across the BN postcodes we install Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Ideal, Baxi and Viessmann boilers.
Converted flats usually need a compact combi such as the Vaillant ecoFIT pure, with the flue planned around shared walls and lightwells. Listed buildings and conservation areas can limit where flues go, so we check the position at survey. Larger Hove villas tend to suit a Worcester Bosch or Viessmann system boiler and unvented cylinder.
Boiler prices in Brighton depend on the property. A flat in a converted Regency terrace, a family home in Hove and a hillside house in Hanover each need different boilers, and flue routes, pipework, cylinder choice and controls all move the figure. Like-for-like combi swaps start from £1,759 fitted, while Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 packages start from around £2,450. Quotes are fixed at the point you book, so the figure doesn’t move. There’s no haggling on the doorstep.

| Like-for-like combi swap | Replace an existing combi in the same position, with new flue, filter and controls | £1,759 | 1 day |

Local boiler installers
Brighton & Hove is a seaside city of Regency terraces, tall bay-fronted Victorian houses split into flats, grand Hove villas, steep hillside streets in Hanover and Whitehawk, and 1930s estates stretching up towards Hollingbury and Patcham. Sea air, listed buildings and leasehold conversions all shape what can be done to a heating system.
A converted Regency flat and a Hove villa have little in common. When we price boiler replacement in Brighton we survey the property, the flue route and the hot water demand first, so the fixed price is for a boiler that fits the home.
After you choose your boiler and date online, a Gas Safe registered engineer arrives to strip out the old boiler, fit and commission the new one, register the warranty and notify Building Control, so everything is signed off before they leave.
Brighton and Hove are packed with Regency terraces, converted flats and tall bay-fronted houses. Here is what we see most.
Brighton sits on chalk, so its water is very hard and scale builds up quickly inside combi boilers. We fit a scale reducer on most installations here.
Flats in tall terraces often share flues and pipework. We check lease rules, access and the flue exit before quoting.
Many streets are protected, so flue positions are planned carefully and we point you to the council before any change to a front elevation.
Large family houses with several bathrooms suit a system boiler and cylinder, sized for strong hot water pressure.
Coastal air is hard on flue terminals and outdoor pipework. We use positions and materials that cope with it.
Steep streets and narrow stairs affect access and cupboard space. We plan a compact boiler that fits and is serviceable.
Our Gas Safe engineers cover the whole of Brighton & Hove, from the seafront and the Lanes to Kemptown, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover and Hollingbury. See all our service areas.

Brighton’s water is supplied by Southern Water and is very hard because it comes from chalk. Scale builds up quickly inside combi boilers, so we recommend a scale reducer on most installations in the area.
Yes. A back boiler swap starts with removing the boiler and surround, and making the redundant flue and pipework safe. Your new condensing boiler – combi or system – is positioned where it makes more sense. It’s a bigger job than a direct replacement. Timings are confirmed at booking, not on the day.
A boiler replacement is notifiable under Building Regulations, which your Gas Safe registered engineer handles, followed by a compliance certificate. Planning permission is not normally needed for a like-for-like swap, but Brighton & Hove has many conservation areas – Regency Square, Kemp Town and much of Hove among them – and listed buildings, so check with Brighton & Hove City Council before changing a flue on a street-facing wall.
Yes. Boiler finance in Brighton includes interest-free, 9.9% APR and buy now, pay later options, with deposits from £0 – see our boiler finance page. All finance is subject to status.
Yes. Old boiler out, taken away and disposed of – and if you’re going combi, any tanks or cylinder you won’t need go too.
All boilers we install come with a manufacturer-backed warranty, typically between 5 and 10+ years depending on the model. Keeping it valid usually means an annual service – our boiler cover plans take care of that for you.
Yes. Off-grid? We can swap an oil or LPG boiler for a new one. Oil is handled by OFTEC registered engineers, LPG by Gas Safe registered engineers who are LPG competent. See our oil boiler installation and replacement and LPG boiler installation and replacement pages for more detail.
