How much does a new boiler cost in Bedford?
A standard replacement gas boiler in Bedford typically costs between £2,100 and £3,500 including supply, installation and VAT. Straightforward combi to combi swaps sit at the lower end of this scale, while full system conversions, cylinder replacements or relocating a boiler can range from £3,200 to over £4,500.
Pricing is influenced by boiler output capacity (24kW to 38kW), flue routing (horizontal wall flue against vertical roof flue), system power flushing, magnetic filter installation and warranty selection, including extended 10 year Vaillant guarantees.

The process
How it works, in three steps
- 1
Tell us about your home
A quick call or the form below: how many bathrooms, what you have now and your postcode.
- 2
Free survey and a fixed quote
We check the system, the flue route and your hot water demand, then put one price in writing.
- 3
Fitted and signed off
Usually a day for a swap. Flushed, commissioned, warranty registered and certificates handed over.
What is included as standard
Every boiler installation quote we give includes all of this. There is nothing here that gets added on afterwards.
- Free survey and correct boiler sizing
- System clean and magnetic filter fitted
- New flue, controls and any pipework changes
- Manufacturer warranty registered for you
- Gas Safe and Building Control notification
- Dust sheets down and everything cleared away
How we size and specify your boiler
We size on heat loss and hot water demand, not guesswork. A three bedroom semi with one bathroom rarely needs the same output as a five bedroom house with two ensuites, and oversizing costs you money every day the boiler runs.
The quote sets out the boiler, the flue route, the controls, whether a power flush or magnetic filter is included, and the warranty length. There is one price and one point of contact, and the work is registered with Gas Safe and Building Control on completion.

Common questions
Common questions
- How much does a new boiler cost in Bedford?
- A standard replacement gas boiler in Bedford typically costs between £2,100 and £3,500 including supply, installation and VAT. Straightforward combi to combi swaps sit at the lower end, while full system conversions, cylinder replacements or relocating a boiler range from £3,200 to over £4,500.
- Should I repair or replace my boiler?
- As a rule of thumb, if a repair costs more than 50% of the replacement value, or the boiler is over 12 to 15 years old, replacement is more economical. Older units run at 60% to 70% efficiency against modern A rated condensing boilers that achieve over 92%.
- What warranty comes with a new boiler?
- As a Vaillant Approved Installer we can register manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years on qualifying Vaillant boilers. Annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer is a condition of keeping that warranty valid.
- How long does a boiler replacement take?
- A like for like combi swap is usually a single day. Conventional to combi conversions, boiler relocations and system upgrades typically take two to three days because of pipework changes, flue routing and a full system flush.
- Are you Gas Safe registered?
- Yes. Townsend Plumbing Ltd is Gas Safe registered under registration number 957967. All domestic gas work is carried out by qualified Gas Safe engineers and a certificate is issued on completion.
