Central Heating Installation in Strood
Strood's housing ranges from the compact Victorian terraces near the High Street to post-war family homes around Knight Road and modern developments at Temple Marsh.
Why Choose Us for Central Heating Installation in Strood
Strood's older housing presents specific heating challenges
Properties near the High Street often have solid walls that make concealed pipework runs impractical, so we plan surface-mounted routes that are neat and unobtrusive. Homes around Knight Road may have original microbore pipework that restricts flow to radiators, resulting in cold spots and uneven heating. We design replacement systems with modern pipework that solves these issues.

You get a single point of contact for the survey, design, installation, and commissioning. We supply and install boilers from Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Viessmann, Baxi, and Ideal, with manufacturer-backed warranties of up to 12 years.

Our Central Heating Installation Process
Free home survey
We measure each room, calculate heat loss, and discuss how you use your home. This determines the boiler size, radiator output, and system design.
System design and quotation
You receive a plan with radiator sizes, positions, pipework routes, boiler recommendation, and controls specification. The quote is fully itemised.
Installation
A full central heating installation typically takes 3 to 5 working days. We work room by room, fitting the boiler first and then running pipework and installing radiators.
Commissioning
We balance all radiators, programme the controls, and commission the boiler to the manufacturer's specifications.
Handover
We demonstrate how everything works, register your warranty, and provide all documentation.
Central Heating Installation for Strood Properties
System upgrades
Many Strood homes built in the 1950s to 1970s still have open-vented gravity-fed systems with a cold water tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard. These systems are inherently less efficient than modern sealed systems. We convert to a combi or system boiler, removing the tank and cylinder, and replace old radiators and pipework where necessary.
Electric-to-gas conversions
Some Strood flats and older properties still rely on electric storage heaters. Converting to gas central heating delivers better comfort, more controllable heating, and significantly lower running costs. We handle the entire conversion, including gas supply installation where needed.
Extensions and additions
If you have built an extension, converted a garage, or added a conservatory to your Strood home, we can extend the central heating to cover the new space. We check whether the existing boiler has sufficient capacity and add radiators and pipework accordingly. If the boiler needs upgrading, we include that in the project plan.
Heating controls
Modern controls reduce energy bills and improve comfort. We install programmable thermostats, thermostatic radiator valves, and smart controls from Nest and Hive. For larger properties, we set up zone heating so you can control upstairs and downstairs temperatures independently.
Pricing guidance
A full central heating installation in a three-bedroom Strood home costs between 3,000 and 5,500 including boiler, radiators, pipework, and controls. Adding radiators to an existing system starts from around 600 per radiator installed. Finance options are available.
