What is Rare Plumbing Website?

A bespoke digital atelier providing precision engineering and climate control services for London's most discerning luxury estates.

Why do boiler brands vary so much in price?

Premium brands like Viessmann and ATAG use higher-grade components, achieve greater efficiency and typically carry longer warranties — which is reflected in the purchase price. Ideal and Worcester Bosch offer excellent value at a lower price point.

Are there any government grants available?

Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) or ECO4 grant, which can contribute towards a new boiler or heat pump. We can advise on eligibility during your survey.

What's included in the installation price?

Our quotes include the boiler, removal and disposal of your old unit, a system flush, magnetic filter, Gas Safe certification and warranty registration — no hidden extras.

How long does installation take?

A like-for-like combi replacement typically takes one day. Switching boiler types or adding a cylinder can take 1–2 days depending on the property.

Do you offer financing or payment plans?

Yes — ask our team about available payment plan options when you receive your fixed quote.

How much does a new boiler cost in London?

A new combi boiler installation in London costs £3,200–£4,200 including the boiler, system flush, magnetic filter, Gas Safe certification and smart thermostat. A system boiler with an unvented cylinder costs £4,800–£6,000. Premium brands like Viessmann and ATAG add £600–£1,100 to the baseline.

Is a system boiler more expensive to install than a combi?

Yes — a system boiler installation costs £1,600–£1,800 more than a combi because it requires a hot water cylinder, additional pipework and a longer installation time. However, a system boiler delivers mains-pressure hot water to multiple bathrooms simultaneously, which a combi cannot do.

What is the cheapest boiler installation in London?

The most cost-effective boiler installation is a like-for-like combi replacement using a mid-range brand such as Ideal or Worcester Bosch, typically £3,200–£3,600. We do not recommend economy brands for London properties — the reliability and warranty differences are not worth the small saving.

Does a new boiler add value to a London property?

A new A-rated boiler with a valid warranty can improve a property's EPC rating and is a positive selling point for prospective buyers. While the installation cost is not fully recovered in property value, a new boiler removes a common buyer objection and can speed up a sale.

Can I spread the cost of a new boiler?

Yes — we offer payment plan options that allow you to spread the cost of a new boiler over monthly instalments. Ask our team about available plans when you receive your fixed quote.
