Boiler replacement in Dundee
Typical prices first, then a fixed written quote from a Gas Safe registered Dundee installer.
Dundee homes, from stone tenements to Broughty Ferry semis
Dundee's stone tenements around the Hilltown, Stobswell and the West End sit alongside four-in-a-block flats and postwar estates, with semis and bungalows further out towards Broughty Ferry. Tenement flats almost always suit a compact combi, with the flue as the main puzzle. Bigger houses may need a system boiler. We match the boiler to the property and your hot water use before you get a price.
Victorian stone tenements: A combi in the kitchen or a cupboard off the lobby is the usual set-up. Thick stone walls and tight back greens limit where the flue can go, so the route is the first thing to agree.
Four-in-a-block and postwar flats: Most have their own gas meter and a combi, so a like-for-like swap is simple. Check that any shared loft or stair space is not affected by the flue or pipework.
Suburban semis and bungalows: A combi covers most of these homes. Larger family houses with two bathrooms usually need a system boiler and an unvented cylinder.

Boiler replacement in Dundee: questions
What is the cost of a new combi boiler in Dundee?
Most combi to combi swaps fall between £2,200 and £3,400 fitted, VAT included. Changing a tank-fed system to a combi costs £3,000 to £4,200 because the tanks and cylinder are removed. The installer confirms a fixed price after the survey.
Where can the flue go in a Dundee tenement?
Usually through the rear wall to the back green, keeping clear of windows, doors and neighbours' openings. If the old flue position no longer meets current rules, the installer will suggest an alternative before quoting.
Do I need my neighbours' consent to replace a boiler?
For a like-for-like swap inside your own flat, normally not. If the work touches common parts, such as a new flue through a shared wall or pipes in the close, check your title deeds and speak to the factor or other owners.
How do I know the engineer is qualified?
Every installer City Boiler puts you in touch with in Dundee is Gas Safe registered, and we check that before they quote. You can also enter the number on the engineer's ID card into the Gas Safe Register.
