Enfield is mostly family housing: interwar semis around Enfield Town and Bush Hill Park, Victorian terraces near the centre and newer homes towards Ponders End and Enfield Lock. Many of the boilers we replace here have been working hard for fifteen years or more, and a few are back boilers hidden behind an old gas fire.

Protecting a new boiler from hard water

Water across North London is hard, and limescale is one of the main things that wears out a combi boiler’s hot water heat exchanger. In hard water areas manufacturers often require a scale reducer for the warranty to stay valid. We fit the right scale protection with every new combi, alongside a magnetic filter to catch sludge from the radiators.

Replacing an old back boiler

Some older Enfield homes still have a back boiler: a boiler fitted behind a gas fire in the living room. They are inefficient by modern standards, and parts are increasingly hard to find. Replacing one means safely decommissioning the fire and boiler, then fitting a modern boiler elsewhere, often as a combi in the kitchen or loft, which frees up the fireplace too.

Family homes and bigger hot water demand

For a three-bedroom semi with one bathroom, a correctly sized combi is usually ideal. Where a loft conversion has added an en-suite, a system boiler with a cylinder can be the better fit. We look at how your household actually uses hot water before recommending anything, and give you a fixed price for the whole job.

Boiler showing an F2 fault and making a thunderous sound

“From the moment I made initial contact with Jennifer from Metropolitan Plumbing I knew I was in safe hands. Jennifer guided me through a series of questions and a plumber was dispatched to me on the same day! Tommy arrived he was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Got to the problem immediately and before I knew it the job was completed and my boiler making it's usual sounds. I was so relieved. I will be recommending Metropolitan Plumbers to all of my family and friends without hesitation.”

Boiler installation in Enfield: FAQs

Does hard water affect a new combi boiler?

It can. Limescale builds up in the hot water side of a combi over time. We fit scale protection with every new combi, which many manufacturers require in hard water areas to keep the warranty valid.

Can you replace a back boiler?

Yes. We safely decommission the old back boiler and gas fire, then fit a modern boiler in a more practical spot, usually as a combi.

Do you cover Ponders End and Enfield Lock?

Yes. We install boilers across EN1, EN2 and EN3, including Ponders End, Enfield Highway, Enfield Wash, Enfield Lock and Brimsdown.

My boiler has broken down. How quickly can you replace it?

Call us and we will survey as quickly as we can and give you a fixed-price quote. If your current boiler can be repaired safely in the meantime, we will tell you.
