Boiler Installation in Battersea — What Battersea Homeowners Need to Know
DRMB Plumbing & Heating serves Battersea and the SW11 area. When you call us for a boiler installation, our Gas Safe engineers come to you — same week, fixed price. Battersea has a large stock of period conversions and Victorian terraces where older system boilers are common; we handle combi conversions as well as like-for-like replacements.
Whether you're in Battersea proper, Clapham Junction, Nine Elms, Queenstown Road, or Wandsworth Road, our engineers carry out boiler installations quickly and to a high standard. All our engineers are Gas Safe registered (#532682), and every installation is notified to Gas Safe and fully certified. The Nine Elms development and surrounding riverside streets have seen significant landlord and investor activity — we're experienced in working across the full range of SW11 property types, from Victorian conversion flats to modern new-builds.
When Is It Time to Replace Your Boiler in SW11?
Boiler is 10+ Years Old
Older boilers run at significantly lower efficiency. A modern A-rated condensing boiler can cut your gas bills by up to 30% compared to a unit fitted before 2010.
Repair Bills Mounting
If your annual repair bill is approaching £300–£400 or you're on a third repair in 18 months, a new boiler is usually the better financial decision.
Unreliable Hot Water
Intermittent hot water, banging from the pipes, or a pilot light that keeps going out — all signs your boiler is struggling and replacement may be closer than you think.
Parts No Longer Available
Some older boiler models become obsolete — when replacement parts can't be sourced, installing a new unit is the only practical solution.
What's Included in a DRMB Boiler Installation in Battersea
Every boiler installation we carry out across SW11 includes the following as standard:
Boiler Brands We Install in Battersea
We supply and install all the leading brands. Our engineers are accredited installers for Worcester Bosch and Vaillant — which is why we can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years on these brands. We also install:

Many SW11 properties — particularly the large Victorian conversions around Battersea Park and the period terraces on Wandsworth Road — have older gravity-fed system boilers with hot water cylinders. We carry out combi conversions regularly across this area, removing the cylinder and simplifying the heating system. We'll advise on the best boiler for your home when we survey the property; we don't push a particular brand, we recommend what's right for your situation.
How Much Does a Boiler Installation Cost in Battersea?
Boiler installation prices in Battersea depend on several factors: the boiler model, whether you're doing a like-for-like swap or relocating the unit, and the condition of your existing pipework and flue. As a rough guide:
| Installation Type | Typical Price Range | Timescale |
|---|---|---|
| Like-for-like combi swap (standard location) | From £2,495 | 1 day |
| Combi swap — premium brand (Worcester Bosch / Vaillant) | From £2,200 | 1 day |
| System boiler to combi conversion | From £2,500 | 1–2 days |
| Boiler relocation (moving position) | From £2,800 | 1–2 days |
Prices are indicative and depend on your specific property and chosen boiler model. All prices include boiler supply, installation, system flush, Gas Safe registration, and manufacturer warranty registration. We provide a fixed written quote before any work begins.

This saves a separate appointment and gets you fully compliant from day one. We also offer annual landlord gas safety packages to keep your properties covered year on year.
Keep Your New Boiler Running Efficiently
Once your new boiler is installed, most manufacturers require annual servicing to maintain the warranty. We offer annual boiler services in Battersea from £90 (or £160 combined with a CP12). Book your first service at the time of installation and we'll diary the reminder for next year.
