York has more historic homes than most UK cities, and that can make a boiler swap trickier than it looks. We’re a Yorkshire company, and you can get a fixed price online for your home and book a Gas Safe engineer to fit it. New boilers start from £1,790 supplied and fitted.

Listed buildings
If your home is listed, works that affect its character can need listed building consent. A like-for-like boiler swap inside, using the existing flue, often doesn’t change anything visible. A new flue through a historic wall, or one on the front of the building, is different and may need consent first.
Check with City of York Council’s planning team before booking if the flue position will change. We’d always try to keep the flue where it is, or route it to a rear or side wall.
Conservation areas
Much of central York, and many villages around it, sit in conservation areas. Flues facing the road can be a concern there. Tell us in the questions if you’re in one, and send photos of the outside walls so we can suggest the least visible route.
Getting the flue position right
Every flue has to meet safety clearances from windows, doors, vents and boundaries. In York’s narrow streets and yards our engineers can fit:
- A plume management kit, which moves the steam away from a window or a neighbour.
- A vertical flue through the roof where no wall is suitable.
- A new boiler position in a different room, if needed (this takes longer).
Boilers for York homes
Period terraces with one bathroom usually suit a combi such as the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 30kW or Ideal Logic+ Combi C24. Bigger townhouses with two bathrooms often keep a cylinder with a system boiler like the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 24i System or Ideal Logic System S30. See every option on our new boilers page, or the Worcester Bosch range.
Order by 3pm for next day installation, 7 days a week, with no survey. You upload photos instead.

FAQs
Do I need consent to replace a boiler in a listed building in York?
Not always. A like-for-like swap using the existing flue often doesn’t need it, but a new or moved flue can. Check with City of York Council first.
Can the flue go out the front of my house in a conservation area?
It may be possible, but a rear or side wall is usually preferred. Send photos and we’ll suggest the best route.
What’s a plume kit?
It’s an extension that directs the steam from your flue away from windows, doors or a neighbour’s property.
Can I keep my boiler in the same place?
Usually, yes. Keeping the same position is quicker and avoids changing the outside of the building.
What guarantee do I get?
A manufacturer guarantee of up to 14 years depending on model, which we register for you.
