Safe Isolation, Responsible Disposal
Old Boiler Removal & Disposal London
Removing an old gas boiler isn't a job for general waste collection — it has to be safely isolated from the gas and water supply by a Gas Safe registered engineer before it's disconnected, and it's disposed of through proper waste-carrier channels rather than left for a general skip.

This is included as standard in every installation we carry out, but we also handle it as a standalone job — for example if you're having a boiler removed as part of a wider renovation, a loft conversion that's relocating the airing cupboard, or a property clearance ahead of a sale.
We'll also remove any redundant pipework, an old header tank in the loft, or a hot water cylinder that's no longer needed if you're not having a new boiler fitted at the same time — just tell us what needs to come out when you book.
Removal-only jobs are quoted on scope — a boiler alone is priced differently to a boiler plus cylinder and tanks. Ask for a fixed price when you book; it's free when removal is part of a new installation with us.

Questions
Old Boiler Removal & Disposal FAQs for London homeowners
Can I just put my old boiler out with general waste?
No — it needs to be safely isolated from the gas supply by a Gas Safe registered engineer before removal, and disposed of through a licensed waste carrier rather than general household collection.
Is removal included if I'm having a new boiler fitted?
Yes — old boiler removal and disposal is included as standard in every installation we quote, so there's nothing extra to book.
Can you remove an old cylinder or loft tank without fitting a new boiler?
Yes, this is booked as a standalone job — common when converting to a combi separately or clearing space ahead of a renovation. Tell us the scope and we'll give a fixed price.
Will you cap the gas and water supply if nothing new is being fitted?
Yes — where a boiler is removed without an immediate replacement, the gas and water supplies are safely capped by the attending Gas Safe registered engineer.
How quickly can you remove an old boiler?
Standalone removal is usually a short visit that can often be booked within a few days, depending on scope. If it's part of a new installation, it happens on the same day as the fit.
