Like-for-like replacements
The old boiler out and a new one in on the same wall and pipework. Usually the simplest job when the existing setup already suits the house.
Gas Safe registered · New boilers across Chorley
A new boiler in Chorley, quoted after I have seen the house.
Most boiler quotes in Chorley are given by someone who has never looked in your airing cupboard. I am Dan of DLS Plumbing & Heating, a Gas Safe registered engineer, and I come down from Preston through Leyland or along the M61 to look at what you have got before I put a price on anything. Then I fit it myself.
Boiler on its last legs? Replace it in autumn on your terms, not in January on its terms.

What I do
Replacement boilers in Chorley.
From a straight combi swap to a full change of system across Chorley, Euxton, Astley Village and Buckshaw Village.
Swapping to a combi, or away from one
Getting rid of the tanks for a combi, or going back to a cylinder because the house has outgrown one. I will tell you which one actually suits you.
Old and back boilers
Older floor-standing and back boilers where parts are getting hard to find. If a repair is still the sensible option, I say so.
Controls set up properly
Thermostat and timer fitted with the boiler and shown to you, so the heating runs when you are in rather than when you are out.

Which boiler
Combi, system or regular? It depends on the house.
Houses across Chorley range from terraces with one bathroom to newer family homes in Buckshaw Village with two or three. That is exactly why there is no single right boiler, and why I ask before I recommend one.
Combi boiler
Heats water on demand from the mains, so there are no tanks in the loft or airing cupboard.
Suits
Terraces and smaller homes with one bathroom, where the cupboard space is worth having back.
Watch out for
Hot water to one outlet at a time. A shower and a hot tap together will be noticeably weaker.
System boiler
Heats and stores water in a cylinder, with no loft tank needed.
Suits
Family homes with two or more bathrooms and everyone wanting a shower in the same hour.
Watch out for
Needs room for the cylinder, and the stored hot water can run out on a heavy day.
Regular boiler
A loft tank feeding a hot water cylinder, the traditional British setup.
Suits
Older houses where the pipework would not cope with mains pressure, or where the layout already works.
Watch out for
Uses loft and cupboard space, and moving away from it is a larger job than a straight swap.
Before you accept a quote
What a proper installation should include.
Put any two Chorley boiler quotes side by side and check they both include these. When one is much cheaper, it is usually because something on this list is missing.
- A visit to see the existing system before a price is given
- A boiler sized for the house and its hot water use
- Taking out and disposing of the old boiler, shown on the quote
- Cleaning the heating system before the new boiler is connected
- A magnetic filter fitted to protect the new boiler
- Corrosion inhibitor added to the system water
- The condensate pipe run and protected against freezing
- Controls installed, set up and explained
- The installation registered as the regulations require
- The manufacturer warranty registered in your name
How it goes
From first look to heating back on.
- 01
A look at the house
I check the current boiler, pipework and controls, and ask how many people are using the hot water.
- 02
Quote in writing
Itemised, so you can see exactly what is being taken out and what is going in.
- 03
Installation
Old boiler removed, system cleaned, new boiler fitted and tested. I tell you at the quote stage how long the heating will be off.
- 04
Handover
Controls shown, paperwork and warranty registered, and a reminder of the annual service that keeps the warranty valid.

How I cover Chorley
Chorley, booked properly.
Chorley is a straight run down from my Preston base, and a boiler replacement is planned work, so it gets a proper day in the diary rather than being squeezed in around call outs.
Autumn is the time to sort out an unreliable boiler. The first proper cold week is when they give up, and that is also when heating engineers across Lancashire are at their busiest.

Boiler replacement
Great experience from start to finish. I had a faulty boiler and Dan came out quickly to replace it. He was professional, polite, and kept everything tidy throughout the job. The new boiler is working perfectly and the whole process was stress-free. I'd highly recommend Dan to anyone needing a reliable plumber.

Repeat customer
Great tradesman and someone I would highly recommend. He's done plenty of work for both myself and my family over the years and the standard has always been excellent. Hardworking, punctual, reliable, and always communicates well throughout the job. Turns up when he says he will and gets the work done properly. Which is hard to find these days. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quality plumber.

Straight answers
Chorley questions answered straight.
- How much does a new boiler cost in Chorley?
- It depends on whether it is a like-for-like swap, whether the system type changes, how much pipework moves and which boiler suits the house. Dan quotes in writing after seeing the property, and the quote itemises what is included.
- Do you fit new boilers in Buckshaw Village and Euxton?
- Yes. Dan fits new and replacement boilers across Chorley, including Buckshaw Village, Euxton and Astley Village, travelling down from his Preston base.
- Is it better to replace a boiler before winter?
- If it is old or unreliable, yes. Boilers most often fail in the first cold spell, which is also when heating engineers are busiest. Replacing it in autumn means it happens on your schedule.
- Should a new boiler come with a system flush and filter?
- It should. Most manufacturers expect the system to be cleaned and protected when a new boiler goes on, and a magnetic filter helps stop sludge reaching it. Check both are on any quote.
