The property

Newington's tenement stock

Newington's tenements were built for coal fires and open chimneys, not condensing boilers. That history affects where a new flue can go and what condition the existing stack is in.

Many flats have a combi in a kitchen cupboard, while others still run a regular boiler and tank. A conversion can free up space and improve hot water, but it needs a realistic check of the gas supply and the route.

Typical Newington jobs

  • Regular-to-combi conversion with tank removal
  • Shared chimney flue liner replacement
  • Upper-floor flat with a rear-court flue
  • Student let boiler replacement with landlord certification

Flue & access

Shared stacks and flue liners

Where a flue goes into a shared chimney, we check the condition of the stack, the flue liner and the termination. We do not assume an old chimney is suitable just because the previous boiler used it.

Rear-court routes are common. If a flue needs to run across a shared wall or close to a neighbouring opening, we check the clearances before work starts.

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.

Newington questions

Newington, answered.

The local question we hear most often.

Yes. A regular-to-combi conversion includes removing the tanks and cylinder, capping the old pipework and checking that the gas supply can support the new boiler. We confirm access to the loft or tank space before quoting.
