Stoke-on-Trent homes, and which boiler suits them
Stoke-on-Trent is really six towns joined together, and most of its homes are long rows of red-brick terraces with interwar and postwar semis around them and newer estates on regenerated land. That mix makes boiler choice fairly simple. Most terraces and semis suit a combi. Larger households may need a cylinder. We help you decide, then you get a fixed price.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces across the six towns: A small combi on the kitchen wall suits most of these homes. If the old boiler sat in a front room fireplace, plan a new position with an outside wall for the flue.
Interwar and postwar semis: A combi frees the loft and airing cupboard in a one-bathroom semi. Check mains flow first, because a weak supply makes for a disappointing shower.
Newer estates and regeneration housing: Usually a combi swap in the same spot, with a short flue and modern pipework. These jobs are often among the quickest to finish.

Boiler replacement in Stoke-on-Trent: questions
How much is a new boiler in Stoke-on-Trent?
A combi replacing a combi typically costs £2,200 to £3,400 fitted, with VAT included. Going from a tank-fed system to a combi usually sits between £3,000 and £4,200. Your quote is fixed before the installer starts.
I still have a back boiler behind the fire. Can it be replaced?
Yes. The back boiler, its tanks and often the fire in front come out, and a new combi goes on an outside wall, usually in the kitchen. Expect this kind of job to take two days rather than one.
Do you cover all six towns?
Yes. City Boiler connects homeowners in Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Stoke, Fenton and Longton with Gas Safe registered installers, along with surrounding areas such as Trentham and Meir.
What happens to my old boiler?
Your installer takes it away and disposes of it as part of the job. Ask for the waste disposal to be listed on your quote so you can see it is included.
