Boiler installation · New Town

New Town.
Fitted for the building.

Georgian flats, listed facades and shared chimneys. Boiler replacement in the New Town is less about the boiler and more about the flue route, the stonework and the consent rules.

The property

What New Town homes demand

Most New Town flats are within a UNESCO World Heritage Site and many buildings are listed. The boiler itself is rarely the complication — the flue termination, the shared chimney stack and the route through historic fabric are.

Ceilings are high, radiators are large and original sash windows leak heat. We size the boiler around the real heat loss, not a generic bedroom count, and we check whether the existing radiators can run efficiently with a modern condensing boiler.

Typical New Town jobs

  • Georgian flat combi replacement with a rear elevation flue
  • Basement flat conversion with a condensate pump and protected route
  • Listed building replacement using an existing chimney route
  • System boiler upgrade in a larger drawing-room flat

Flue & access

Flue routes in the New Town

Rear elevations, mews access and existing chimney routes are usually preferable to new visible pipework on a principal facade. Some routes need listed building consent or conservation-area discussion, and we flag that before you commit.

We ask for photos of the boiler position, the outside wall and the chimney breast. If the route is unclear, we arrange a short site visit before locking the price.

Why we ask for photos

Photos of the boiler, the flue, the pipes underneath and the outside wall let us price the real job before you commit. It is faster than a sales visit and more accurate than a generic online quote.

If the route is unclear, we arrange a free 20-minute video or in-person check before locking the price.

New Town questions

New Town, answered.

The local question we hear most often.

Not always, but you may need consent depending on the building's listing and the flue route. We identify the likely consent position early and tell you what to check with the City of Edinburgh Council before work is booked. We never promise 'no permission needed' without checking.
