Designed around your home
A conversion should solve the right problem.
01
When a combi may suit your home
A combi heats water on demand, so there’s no separate cylinder. It can work well where the incoming mains flow is good and hot water use is modest, and it frees up the space a cylinder and tanks once took.
02
When keeping a cylinder may be better
If several showers run at once, hot water demand is high or the incoming supply is limited, stored hot water is often the better answer. A bigger combi can’t fix a restricted water supply, so we’ll compare a system or regular replacement with you before you decide.
What we cover
Regular or system-to-combi suitability survey
Incoming mains pressure and flow checks
Cylinder and redundant tank removal where agreed
Heating and hot water pipework alterations
Compatible controls and system condition review
Gas supply, flue and condensate assessment

From first enquiry to handover
01
Tell us what you have
Share your boiler type, cylinder and tanks, postcode and what you’d like to improve. Our boiler installation enquiry form is a simple way to share your system details.
02
Survey and compare
We review your water supply, hot water demand, heating condition and installation routes, and weigh a conversion against keeping a cylinder. Together we agree the model, controls, removals and any extra work.
03
Agree, install and hand over
The full scope, final quotation, access and expected disruption are agreed before work starts. After installation we commission the system, walk you through the controls and confirm warranty registration and servicing terms.
We’ll check whether a conversion suits your home before providing a personalised quotation. Sending your details does not book an appointment.
Pressure and flow are different checks
Static water pressure isn’t the same as the flow available while taps and showers are running. Our survey looks at the incoming supply, existing restrictions and the water your household needs at busy times, not just a single pressure reading.
A combi’s hot water output depends on the model, the incoming water temperature and demand. We’ll check your existing showers and fittings for compatibility, so you know what to expect before anything changes.
Cylinder, tanks, pipework and controls
A regular system usually has a hot water cylinder and loft tanks; a system boiler normally has a cylinder but a different tank arrangement. We identify what each tank actually serves before anything is removed, isolated or disposed of.
We’ll agree the hot water connections, radiator circuit changes, system cleaning and any filter, controls or protection needed. Existing pipework is checked for the new system pressure, and access, cupboard finishes and making good are set out clearly in your quote.
Gas, flue and condensate routes
Gas pipe sizing and pressure loss are assessed for the appliance and the whole gas installation. A photo or a visible pipe diameter can’t prove suitability, so any upgrade is included in the agreed work.
Boiler position, the manufacturer-approved flue configuration, terminal clearances, roof access where relevant and a suitable condensate drain all affect the job. Any additional work needed to move the boiler is set out in your personalised quotation.
What to tell us
Your existing boiler type, cylinder and tank arrangement, how many bathrooms are used at once, any water-flow concerns and your postcode. Send your details and postcode and we’ll arrange the right visit.
Common questions
Can a regular or system boiler be converted to a combi?
Often, yes, but not every home is suitable. We assess incoming mains flow and pressure, simultaneous hot water use, pipework condition, controls and the gas, flue and condensate routes before recommending anything.
Will a combi improve my water pressure?
Not necessarily. A combi relies on the incoming water supply, so it can’t guarantee stronger showers or overcome restricted mains flow. We check the supply and outlets under realistic demand.
Will you remove the old cylinder and loft tanks?
Only equipment that’s confirmed redundant and included in the agreed work. We identify what each tank supplies, then set out isolation, removal, disposal, access and any making good in your quotation.
Is a combi suitable for two bathrooms?
Bathroom count alone doesn’t decide it. What matters is whether showers and taps run together, the flow they need and the incoming supply. For higher simultaneous demand, stored hot water is often the better option.
How long does a conversion take, and will I lose heating or hot water?
A conversion involves a planned interruption to heating and hot water. How long depends on your system, access, removals and pipework changes; we agree the expected disruption and schedule with you after the survey.
How do I get a quotation for a combi conversion?
Send us your installation details using our short enquiry form. We’ll review your existing system and contact you about a personalised, no-obligation quotation. A survey checks water supply, gas sizing, flue routes and any extra work before the quotation is agreed.
What warranty will the new boiler have?
The manufacturer warranty depends on the model and its terms. We set out the duration, registration requirements, servicing conditions and exclusions with your final quotation.

Brilliant service, very quick in response and sorted issue out in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend to anyone who requires these services.
Big thankyou to Jacob, our boiler had a fault & we had only just moved into the house. We were so worried about having to pay out for a new boiler. Jacob came out the same day & looking into the issue. He gave us all our options and explained it to us so clear. When we chose how to fix it, Jacob came the following day! We haven’t had an issue since. Perfect service⭐️
Reliable, professional and easy to work with. Always delivers high-quality work for our properties, communicates clearly, and turns up on time. Highly recommended for any letting agency or landlord.
Excellent service, came out to help when everyone else wouldn't. Great communication, friendly and gave me great advice to make the right decisions. I will continue to use him for any gas/heating/plumping needs if they arise in the future. Highly recommend his services
Had accident happened on my central heating recently. Jacob was in house less than 15 min after a call out. Knowledgeable friendly and ready to help saved my day. Recommended surely use his help in future.
Excellent service. Jacob wasn't satisfied until he had done the absolute best that he could. Brilliant attention to detail. Could not recommend him enough. Top class service from a really great lad
JJP Plumbers exceeded our expectations when installing our new central heating combi boiler. The team's trustworthiness and helpfulness were evident from the start, addressing every concern with professionalism. Their outstanding workmanship and attention to detail resulted in a neatly executed installation. Additionally, they went above and beyond by efficiently fitting a radiator in the kitchen. Without a doubt, we plan to engage their services for future projects. A well-deserved 5-star rating for a job exceptionally well done.
Absolutely brilliant plumbers and heating engineers. Fitted a new boiler system and radiator in my kitchen. Nothing was a problem. Very polite, very neat and organised. Hard working, trustworthy and I am so pleased I chose them for my home improvements. Will definitely be using for boiler services each year and new radiators to be installed in the future and any other plumbing problems. Would recommend 100%.
Jacob and his teammate were brilliant and came out really quickly. His communication and work were faultless and he helped a very stressful situation become a lot less stressful! Highly recommend.
Couldn’t recommend highly enough, had Jacob and his apprentice to plumb in a new kitchen and some new heating pipework his knowledge and attention to detail is fantastic. He Quickly carried out all relevant tests for the landlord certificate. The pipe work fitted looked so smart it was a shame to fit a kitchen in front of it!
Highly highly recommend.
Really appreciate the work Jacob will be using you next time.
100% highly recommend Jacob. He is friendly, professional and excellent at what he does. He's reasonably priced. Would have him back for more work. Thanks Jacob.
Jacob is easy to contact even at weekends. With the help of photos, he diagnosed our problems, obtained parts/replacements and, within a couple of days, came and sorted it all out.
He is effficient, pleasant and his charges are reasonable.
I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.
From taps to boilers, he’s the one to call!
100% Highly recommended Jacob, he's very reliable, saved us few times! From problems with our boiler to leeks from the toilet, messaged in the morning and he was fixing it in couple hours brilliant service! Very professional and a great guy !

A***
Would 100% recommend. Jacob is friendly, professional and great at his job. Keeps me updated throughout the process and is always quick to come out and help.
Jacob helped us out of a very tight spot (literally) when our outside tap pipe burst in the recent cold weather. Came out at 5:20pm on a Saturday to fix the pipe and restore flow to the house. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thanks so much!
Highly recommend Jacob!
My boiler stopped working and despite his busy workload his flexibility meant he was able to fix the issue straight away for me, when other companies were unable to. 5*
Serviced the gas boiler and replaced the thermostatic valve shower- Arrived on time, efficient and tidy, honest and reliable. I highly recommend Jacob for all your gas and plumbing needs.
Excellent service from jacob. Didn't realise how hard it can be to get a plumber to come look at problems. Each time I've had a plumbing problem he has answered first time and come look same day or very soon after. Recently fitted new boiler and left everything tidy when finished at reasonable price.
Jake quoted for the job and started on the date we arranged. Always professional and left the area very clean each day. He was efficient and professional at all times and never stopped working. I would highly recommend him for any plumbing job.
Excellent A1
From start to finish absolutely first class service.
We had a boiler swap and turned up on time very clean workmanship and was very approachable.
Answered all questions about new boiler and explained all new technology to us in detail.
Recommended to our daughter who is using for her new rads and boiler.
Cannot recommend enough
I found Jacob on Google after we realised a bathroom pipe had been leaking badly and our downstairs ceiling was wet!
Jacob came out within a couple of hours and within an hour the leak was fixed, he did a great job and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
In fact I now have a few more jobs that I need to speak to him about!
Jacob was a great find after a long search for a plumber to fix a leaky stop tap. He kindly fitted us in to his tight schedule and was clearly very knowledgeable and reliable, as well as being friendly and communicating well about everything he was doing. I would definitely recommend him.
I have used JJP properties on a few occasions at two properties now, always a very polite, professional service, top quality standard of work, in fact, one of the jobs was to re-do a shoddy job done by someone else a few weeks prior. Would not hesitate in recommending Jacob at all.
I had Jake do some work while still in his Apprenticeship, as he was then he’s , reliable , knowledgeable, does what he says he will do , never let me down when I had a flood with damaged boiler , he replaced the boiler and tidied up pipe work and lagging that a previous lazy , slack plumber had supposedly done .
I find having someone like Jake that you can rely on worth his weight in gold .
And yes this is a true review of Jake’s work ,from a happy Customer .
And I continue to use him 3 years on , servicing the Boiler , and other little jobs, very reliable, knowing the job will be completed to a high standard and always pass his details on as the Plumber you need .
