Conventional, System & Back Boiler to Combi Conversion

Vaillant ecoFIT pure 830 combi fitted by GX7 after a gravity-fed system conversion in Swanley

A conventional boiler to combi conversion removes the water tanks in your loft and the hot water cylinder, freeing up space and giving you hot water on demand from the mains. Our own Gas Safe engineers convert conventional (tank-fed or gravity-fed), system and back boilers to combis across South East London and North West Kent, with your mains pressure and flow tested first and a fixed written quote before any work starts.

From £2,500 with a 5-year guarantee boiler, or from £2,900 with a 10-year guarantee boiler, power flush included. Every conversion is priced after a free survey, as gas run, pipework and location vary.

Is a Combi Right for Your Home?

A combi heats water straight from the mains as you use it, so there's no hot water cylinder and no cold water tanks in the loft. Converting from a tank-fed or system boiler frees up the airing cupboard and loft, and you never wait for a cylinder to reheat.

The trade-off: a combi supplies one main outlet well at a time. Hot water flow depends on your mains supply, so two showers running together usually won't work well.

A combi usually suits homes with:

  • one bathroom, or one bathroom plus a cloakroom

  • a flat or smaller house

  • good mains water pressure and flow

  • old water tanks and a cylinder you want removed to free up space

We test your mains pressure and flow rate during the survey. If your home has two or more bathrooms, or the supply is too weak for a combi, we'll tell you and recommend a system boiler with an unvented cylinder instead.

Which Boilers Can Be Converted to a Combi?

Conventional (Tank-Fed) Boiler to Combi

System Boiler to Combi

Back Boiler to Combi

Also called a regular or gravity-fed system. We remove the cold water tanks in the loft, the hot water cylinder and redundant pipework, then fit a combi running from the mains. Usually the biggest space gain.

Your boiler already runs sealed, but the hot water cylinder, its controls and any cold water tank feeding it are removed. The airing cupboard is freed up for storage.

Older back boilers sit behind a gas fire. We remove the back boiler and fire, cap the gas safely and fit a new combi in a suitable position. The gas run and making good the fireplace are agreed on your quote.

Why Choose GX7 for Your Combi Conversion?

Mains Pressure Tested First

We test your mains water pressure and flow before quoting. If your supply can't run a combi well, we'll tell you and recommend the right system instead.
