Back boiler replacement in Scotland: your options

Back boilers, tucked behind a gas fire, were common in Scottish homes for decades. If yours is ageing, replacing it opens up options for a more efficient, reliable system. Here is what is involved.

Why replace a back boiler

Back boilers are inefficient by modern standards and parts are increasingly scarce. Replacing yours cuts running costs, frees up the fireplace and gives you a system that is easy to service.

Your replacement options

Most homeowners move to a modern combi or system boiler, relocated to a more practical spot such as a kitchen or utility. We assess your hot water needs and radiators to size it correctly.

What the job involves

We safely remove the old back boiler, cap or adapt the fireplace, and install and commission the new boiler. We handle the whole job cleanly and explain your new controls at handover.
