Heating homes in Folkestone
Folkestone is built on a slope, and the housing tells that story: grand Victorian and Edwardian properties on the Leas and around the Creative Quarter, terraced streets running down towards the harbour, and newer development inland at Cheriton and Park Farm.
Many of the larger Victorian houses on and near the Leas have been divided into flats over the years, which often leaves behind awkward pipework, shared risers and heating systems that were never designed for the layout they now serve. It pays to have someone look at the whole system rather than just swap the boiler. Down by the harbour, exposure to salt air makes annual checks on external flues and pipework worthwhile.
We cover all of Folkestone and the surrounding villages — including the Leas and West End, the Creative Quarter and harbour, Cheriton, Sandgate, Park Farm and Hythe road.
What happens on installation day
We arrive when we said we would, protect the floors and work area, and isolate the gas and water before removing your old boiler. The system gets flushed where it needs it, the new boiler goes on, and we fit a magnetic filter to keep sludge out of the new heat exchanger.
Before we leave, the boiler is commissioned properly — combustion checked with a flue gas analyser, controls set up and explained to you, and the system balanced so your radiators heat evenly. You get your paperwork, the warranty is registered, and the old boiler goes with us.
Choosing the right boiler for your home
The right boiler depends on your hot-water habits more than the size of your house. One bathroom and a couple of people? A combi is almost always the sensible answer, and it frees up cupboard space. Two bathrooms in use at the same time, or a large family? A system boiler with a cylinder will keep everyone in hot water without the pressure dropping.
Water hardness matters in this part of Kent too. Hard water is tough on heat exchangers, so we fit scale protection where it is needed — it is a small cost at installation that saves considerable trouble later.
Questions we're often asked
Should I switch to a combi boiler?
Combis free up the airing cupboard and loft tanks, and suit most small to medium homes with one bathroom. If you have two or more bathrooms in regular use, or several people showering at once, a system boiler with a hot water cylinder usually gives a better experience. We will give you an honest recommendation for your household rather than pushing whichever is easier to fit.
Which boiler brands do you install?
Mainly Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal and Glow-worm. They are the brands we trust to last, that have good parts availability locally, and that offer strong manufacturer warranties. We register your warranty for you after the installation.
How long does a new boiler last?
A good-quality boiler that is serviced every year will typically give you well over a decade of reliable service. Skipping annual services is the fastest way to shorten that, and it invalidates the manufacturer warranty at the same time.
Do you remove the old boiler?
Yes — removal and responsible disposal of your old boiler is included, along with the Gas Safe and Building Regulations paperwork. We leave the place tidy.
How long does a new boiler take to fit?
A straight combi swap is usually a single day. Moving the boiler to a different wall, or converting from a cylinder system to a combi, typically takes two to three days because there is more pipework and making good to do. We will tell you which applies to your home before you commit.
How quickly can you install a new boiler in Folkestone?
In most cases the next working day once you have accepted your quote — sooner in an emergency where we possibly can. Winter gets busier, so if your boiler is limping along it is worth booking early rather than waiting for it to fail completely.
