What a boiler swap usually looks like in Crawley.
Crawley is a post-war New Town, and its 45,500 households are heavily terraced: 37% terraced, 23% semi-detached, 24% purpose-built flats and 14% detached. The Development Corporation's masterplan laid out nine self-contained neighbourhoods around the old market town, with Southgate completed between 1955 and 1957, the Festival of Britain style concrete flats at Sunnymead built for the construction workers, and Gossops Green as the last of the original neighbourhoods, with Bewbush, Broadfield and Maidenbower added later. Older housing survives in Ifield village, around the High Street and on Brighton Road.
The 1950s and 1960s New Town terraces and semis were built with a regular boiler or a back boiler and a copper cylinder, and because they went up in one burst their heating has been replaced in waves, so a good share now has a combi and the rest are candidates for a cylinder-to-combi conversion. The boiler usually goes on the rear kitchen wall with a short flue over the garden, though mid-terrace homes have no side wall and the flue must not face a neighbour's window. The Sunnymead flats and other purpose-built blocks need the flue and condensate route agreed with the landlord or management company before a boiler can be moved.
We deliberately don't put a figure on this page, because nobody can price a boiler from a postcode. The cost calculator will give you a realistic range for a property like yours in under a minute, and three quotes for your actual job give you the real answer.
Getting three quotes matters more on a conversion
On a straight replacement the prices tend to cluster. On a cylinder-to-combi conversion they do not: how the engineer plans to route the pipework, whether a system flush is included and what happens to the cupboard afterwards can each move the number by hundreds. Three quotes is not about haggling. It is about seeing three different opinions on how the work should be done.
Whoever you go with must be Gas Safe registered. It is against the law for anyone else to work on your gas boiler, and you can check any engineer's registration number yourself before they start.
Finding a boiler engineer in Crawley
Our engineers cover RH10, RH11 and the wider West Sussex area, and those codes are examples rather than a limit. Rather than ringing round yourself, you fill in one form and we pass it to up to three Gas Safe registered engineers who work in your postcode. They contact you, they quote, and you decide.
Ask all three the same questions
Is the price fixed or an estimate? Does it include a power flush or just a chemical clean? Is a magnetic filter included, since most manufacturer warranties require one? Who notifies building control? A good engineer in Crawley will not mind being asked, and one who bristles has told you something useful.
Water and heating in Crawley
Crawley's drinking water comes from Southern Water, and published figures for RH10 and RH11 are around 210 to 225 mg/l calcium carbonate, which is in the hard band but well below the very hard chalk supplies further east in Sussex and Kent. Scale still builds on a combi's heat exchanger over the years, so a scale reducer on the cold main is worth fitting.
Planning, flats and the edges of Crawley
Crawley has 13 conservation areas, an unusual mix of old and new: Ifield Village, Worth, St Peter's, the High Street and Brighton Road on one hand and the post-war Southgate and Gossops Green neighbourhood centres and the Sunnymead flats on the other, designated for their New Town architecture. A flue on a street-facing elevation inside any of these can need planning permission. Building control is Crawley Borough Council; Copthorne and Crawley Down in RH10 and Pease Pottage in RH11 are outside the borough under Mid Sussex and Horsham.
Areas of Crawley this covers
Three Bridges, Ifield, Langley Green, Pound Hill, Tilgate, Furnace Green, Bewbush, Broadfield, Gossops Green and Maidenbower, and everywhere else in RH10, RH11. The districts are Crawley itself; a job just outside them still reaches engineers who cover that postcode.

Crawley questions.
My 1950s New Town terrace in Southgate or Langley Green still has a cylinder. Should I go to a combi?
For most of these two and three bedroom terraces a combi is the sensible replacement. The original layout put a copper cylinder in an airing cupboard and cold water tanks in the loft, and removing them frees the cupboard and simplifies the plumbing. The main check is the incoming mains flow, because a combi heats water on demand and a weak mains supply means a weak shower. If the house has gained a second bathroom, a system boiler with an unvented cylinder keeps the flow when two outlets run.
Is Crawley's water hard? Do I need a scale reducer?
It is hard, though not the hardest in the South East. Southern Water's supply to the RH10 and RH11 postcodes measures around 210 to 225 mg/l of calcium carbonate, which sits in the hard band. Most boiler manufacturers ask for an inline scale reducer in hard water areas as part of the guarantee terms.
What does a new boiler cost in Crawley?
It depends far more on the job than the town. A straight combi-for-combi swap sits at the bottom of the range; a cylinder-to-combi conversion sits well above it, and only an engineer standing in your house can see which one you have. The cost calculator gives you a realistic range in under a minute, and comparing 3 quotes for your actual job gives you the real answer.
Which postcodes in Crawley do you cover?
Crawley is RH10, RH11, and we match on the outward code, so a job in RH10 only goes to engineers who have told us they cover RH10. Those districts are the town itself rather than a service boundary. If your postcode isn't listed, enter it anyway: we place jobs across the UK, not only in the towns we have a page for.
How quickly can someone come out in Crawley?
Your job reaches engineers covering RH postcodes within about a minute of you submitting it. How soon one of them can actually fit a boiler depends on their diary and on the job, so we don't promise a date we don't control. If your boiler has failed completely, say so on the form and it is flagged as urgent.
Are your Crawley engineers Gas Safe registered?
Yes. Every engineer on our network is on the Gas Safe Register and we check the number against the public register before any job is sent to them. It is illegal for anyone else to work on your gas boiler. Ask to see their ID card and check it yourself at gassaferegister.co.uk before work starts.
Do you own the property in Crawley?
This is the one thing we have to know before anything else. A boiler replacement is a permanent change to the property, so it has to be authorised by whoever owns it - which means we can only arrange quotes for the homeowner, or for someone acting on the owner's behalf. Landlords are welcome to use the form for a property they let. If you answer no, we stop there rather than pass your details to an engineer who would not be able to take the job.
