Havering · RM1 · Greater London
Quote online, pick your boiler and have a Gas Safe registered engineer install it at your Havering home – next-day fitting is often possible. Replacement gas boilers in Havering cover combi swaps, system boilers for larger homes, back boiler removals and full upgrades.
Havering includes the Arts and Crafts houses of Gidea Park, plenty of extended and loft-converted family homes, and flats around Romford town centre. Across the RM postcodes we install Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi and Viessmann boilers.
Loft conversions often add a bathroom, which can push an older combi past its limit, so we may recommend a Worcester Bosch or Viessmann system boiler instead. Flats in Romford usually need a compact combi such as the Ideal Logic Max. In the Gidea Park conservation area, we site the flue with care.
Boiler prices in Havering depend on how the home has grown. A flat near Romford, a Gidea Park house with a loft conversion and a semi in Hornchurch each need different boilers, and flue routes, cylinders 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. What you see online is what you’re charged. Parts and labour are already in the figure.

Havering’s housing is more spacious than much of London. These are the jobs we fit most, and what suits each.
A combi swap with a filter and controls upgrade is often the best value in these interwar homes.
A system boiler and unvented cylinder keep hot water strong across several bathrooms.
We choose a flue position that respects the house and plan pipework so original features stay intact.
Local boiler installers
Havering is London’s eastern edge and its greenest large borough, a mix of Romford’s busy centre, the Gidea Park garden suburb, Hornchurch’s tree-lined streets and Upminster’s older houses with fields beyond. Most homes are inter-war and post-war family houses, with flats near Romford and newer estates around Harold Wood and Rainham.
Plenty of Havering houses have been extended and loft-converted, so the original boiler is often too small for the way the home is now used. When we price boiler installation in Havering we check the size of the property and how many bathrooms it has before giving you a fixed price.
Choose your boiler and installation day online and a Gas Safe registered engineer arrives to remove the old unit, fit and commission the new one, register the warranty and notify Building Control, leaving the heating tested and signed off.
Havering is Greater London’s most easterly borough, with Arts and Crafts houses, garden suburbs and green-belt edges. Here is what we see most.
Havering water is very hard, shortening combi boiler life through scale. Where hardness in your postcode is above 200ppm, we fit a scale reducer with a combi boiler.
These homes have character and design controls. We plan a discreet flue route and keep original features intact while upgrading.
Extra bedrooms and bathrooms often outgrow the old boiler. We re-size the output to the whole house so winter heating keeps up.
Flats around Romford need compact combis and flue routes that meet building rules. We check both before quoting.
Older houses may have original pipework and awkward boiler spots. We survey carefully and propose a tidy, compliant installation.
A few edge-of-borough homes towards Havering-atte-Bower are off mains gas. We can also fit oil and LPG boilers on a fixed quote.
Our Gas Safe engineers cover the whole borough, from Romford and Hornchurch to Upminster, Harold Wood and Rainham. See all our service areas.

All RM1 postcodes plus RM2, RM3, RM5, RM11, RM12, RM13 and RM14, including Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster, Harold Wood and Rainham, and nearby areas such as Barking, Brentwood and Dagenham. We are part of a nationwide network of Gas Safe engineers, so we can cover the wider area as well.
Havering tap water is very hard, usually well above 200ppm. You can check your postcode on your supplier’s hardness checker. Where it exceeds 200ppm, we fit a scale reducer with a combi boiler, in line with Building Regulations guidance.
Yes. We strip out the back boiler and fire, seal the old flue and pipework, and make everything safe before the new boiler goes in. We install a modern, efficient combi or system boiler in a position that suits the house. Allow a little longer than for a straight swap. The engineer confirms how long it’ll take before starting.
A boiler replacement is notifiable under Building Regulations, which your Gas Safe registered engineer handles with Building Control, so a compliance certificate follows. Planning permission is not normally needed for a like-for-like swap. In Gidea Park or Upminster conservation areas, check with Havering Council before moving a flue to a front wall.
Yes. Boiler finance in Havering 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. Disposal is included: your old boiler, and any tanks or cylinder no longer needed after a combi conversion, are removed safely.
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. If there’s no mains gas at your property, we can fit an oil or LPG replacement. Each fuel has its own registered installer: OFTEC (oil) or Gas Safe with LPG competence (LPG). See our oil boiler installation and replacement and LPG boiler installation and replacement pages for more detail.
