Sheffield is built on hills, and a lot of its housing is solid stone. Both of those affect which boiler you need. You can get a fixed price online, sized for your home, and book a local Gas Safe engineer to fit it. New boilers start from £1,790 supplied and fitted.

Sizing a boiler for stone homes
Older stone terraces and villas in areas like Walkley, Crookes and Nether Edge usually have solid walls, which lose more heat than cavity walls. That doesn’t always mean you need a bigger boiler, but it does mean the heat output should match the radiators and the rooms, not a guess.
For hot water, a combi’s size is about flow rate. Bigger numbers mean more hot water a minute:
- Around 30kW suits most homes with one bathroom and a strong shower, such as the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 30kW, Ideal Logic Combi ESP1 30 or Vaillant ecoTEC pro 30kW.
- Around 35kW suits larger homes, or a bathroom plus en suite, with the Ideal Logic Combi ESP1 35, Vaillant ecoTEC plus 835 or Vaillant ecoFIT pure 835.
- Two or more bathrooms used at once usually need a system boiler with a cylinder, like the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 30i System.
Our questions ask about bathrooms, radiators and property type, and recommend the size for you.
Hillside homes and water pressure
A combi needs decent mains pressure to deliver its full flow rate. Pressure can vary on steep streets, so it’s worth checking before you choose a combi. Run your kitchen cold tap and note how quickly it fills a bucket, then add it to the questions. If pressure is low, we’ll recommend a system boiler instead.
Flues on sloping streets
Houses built into a hill can have the boiler wall at ground level on one side and a floor up on the other. Your photos show us where the flue comes out, and whether to fit a plume kit to keep the steam away from a path or a neighbour’s window.

FAQs
What size boiler do I need for a stone house in Sheffield?
It depends on the number of rooms, radiators and bathrooms. Most one bathroom homes suit a 30kW combi, and bigger homes a 35kW. Our questions work it out for you.
Is a 35kW combi better than a 30kW?
Only if you need more hot water. A 35kW gives a higher flow rate, which helps in larger homes or with two showers. A 30kW is enough for most one bathroom homes.
My street is steep. Will a combi work?
If your mains pressure is good, yes. If it’s low, a system boiler with a cylinder is usually the better choice.
Can you fit a boiler in Sheffield tomorrow?
Often. Order by 3pm and we can fit it the next day, 7 days a week.

A manufacturer guarantee of up to 14 years depending on model, which we register for you.
