What a boiler swap usually looks like in Telford.
Telford is a New Town designated in 1963 as Dawley New Town and enlarged in 1968, built around the older settlements of Wellington, Oakengates, Dawley, Madeley and the Ironbridge Gorge villages. The Development Corporation estates began with Sutton Hill, where the first homes were occupied in 1967, and continued through the 1970s at estates such as Woodside, Brookside, Stirchley, Randlay, Hollinswood and Leegomery, with building carrying on since at Lawley and Lightmoor. Census 2021 for the Telford built-up area records 38.7% of households in semis, 28.6% detached, 21.8% terraced and 9.0% in purpose-built flats.
The Development Corporation estates were built with gas central heating from new, and many still have a boiler paired with a hot water cylinder in an airing cupboard, so the common job is a cylinder-to-combi conversion, or a system boiler where the household wants to keep stored hot water. Terraced houses at Sutton Hill and Woodside often have the kitchen on the front, so the flue terminal has to keep its distance from neighbouring windows. In the older brick terraces of Wellington, Oakengates, Dawley and Madeley a combi swap is usual, while Lawley and Lightmoor homes are straightforward combi replacements.
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 Telford
Our engineers cover TF1, TF2, TF3, TF4, TF5, TF7, TF8 and the wider Shropshire 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 Telford will not mind being asked, and one who bristles has told you something useful.
Water and heating in Telford
Severn Trent supplies Telford from groundwater treated in Shropshire and Staffordshire, and its zones read 20.6 degrees Clark in Telford North, 18.9 in Telford South and 22.3 in Wellington, which the company classes as hard and, for Wellington, very hard. That is around 270 to 320 milligrams per litre of calcium carbonate, so scale protection on the cold feed to a combi is needed to keep the plate heat exchanger clear and to satisfy most manufacturers' warranty terms.
Planning, flats and the edges of Telford
Telford & Wrekin Council is the unitary authority and provides building control. Of its eight conservation areas, the ones that affect Telford homes are The Severn Gorge, covering Ironbridge, Coalbrookdale, Coalport and Jackfield inside the World Heritage Site, Horsehay and Spring Village, and Wellington town centre, so a flue on a street-facing wall there may need consent and listed cottages in the Gorge need listed building consent. Census 2021 shows 82.4% of Telford households on mains gas and only 0.5% on oil, so off-grid homes are confined to the rural villages in TF6.
Areas of Telford this covers
Wellington, Oakengates, Dawley, Madeley, Ironbridge, Hadley, Priorslee, Lawley, Sutton Hill and Brookside, and everywhere else in TF1, TF2, TF3, TF4, TF5, TF7, TF8. The districts are Telford itself; a job just outside them still reaches engineers who cover that postcode.

Telford questions.
Is Telford's water hard enough to damage a new combi boiler?
Severn Trent's zone data classes Telford North and Telford South as hard and Wellington as very hard, all drawn from Shropshire groundwater. At roughly 270 to 320 milligrams per litre of calcium carbonate, limescale forms fast in the plate heat exchanger a combi uses to make hot water. Manufacturers generally require scale protection above 200 milligrams per litre, so in Telford an inline scale reducer should be treated as part of the install.
I live on one of the 1970s estates in Telford with a hot water cylinder. Can I switch to a combi?
Usually yes, and it is one of the most common jobs on the Woodside, Brookside, Stirchley and Sutton Hill estates. The cylinder and loft tanks are removed and the new combi is fed straight from the cold main, so mains pressure and flow need checking first because a combi's hot water rate depends on them. A household with two bathrooms may be better served by a system boiler with an unvented cylinder, which keeps stored hot water but still removes the loft tanks. Either way the flue position may change because the new boiler is likely to sit somewhere different.
What does a new boiler cost in Telford?
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 Telford do you cover?
Telford is TF1, TF2, TF3, TF4, TF5, TF7, TF8, and we match on the outward code, so a job in TF1 only goes to engineers who have told us they cover TF1. 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 Telford?
Your job reaches engineers covering TF 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 Telford 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 Telford?
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.
