50 YEARS SERVING SOUTH SHIELDS
Boiler Installation,
In South Shields
As a boiler replacement specialist and local boiler installer covering South Shields, we carry out gas and electric boiler installation across the NE33/34, from long-established residential streets to coastal properties along the seafront.
South Shields is one of our longest-standing customer bases – many households we first fitted a boiler for years ago are still with us today, often on their second or third replacement.
A lot of our work here is replacing older systems running well past their efficient lifespan, often for customers we’ve looked after for years.
BOILER UPGRADES
Boilers We Install And Upgrades Availables
We primarily install Worcester Bosch boilers and are long-standing Worcester Accredited Installers, offering warranties of up to 12 years. We’re also accredited installers for Baxi and Viessmann. Alongside combi boilers, we install system, traditional (regular), electric and LPG boilers, as well as unvented cylinder systems where they’re better suited to the property. For smaller homes and flats, models such as the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 25kW, Worcester Bosch Greenstar 1000 25kW and Baxi 624 are often a good fit.

BOILER TYPES
Which Boiler Is Right for Your Home?
The right boiler depends on your property, not just your budget. As a rough guide:
Like-For-Like Replacement
Long-established home with an older boiler – usually a straightforward swap, sized correctly for how the property’s used today
Coastal Property
We’ll check flue and casing positioning carefully at the survey stage, given the exposure to sea air
Electric Boiler
Smaller property with no suitable flue location – worth considering
Unsure?

LONG-STANDING LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Coastal Homes & Older Heating Systems In South Shields
A lot of our work in South Shields involves replacing or upgrading older heating systems that have been in place for many years. In fact, we’ve looked after some local homes through two or even three boiler replacements. Coastal properties can bring additional considerations too. Homes around Sea Road and the South Shields seafront are particularly exposed to salt-laden sea air, which can contribute to corrosion of external flue terminals and other exposed components over time. We take this coastal exposure into account when installing and servicing boilers, checking external components carefully for early signs of deterioration.
DO YOU NEED A NEW BOILER?
Benefits Of A New Boiler
A new boiler isn’t just about fixing something broken – it comes with real, practical benefits. A new A-rated condensing boiler cuts both bills and emissions compared with an older, inefficient one – often a significant difference for South Shields’ older systems, some running at a fraction of the efficiency of a modern boiler.
We’ll give you a straight comparison of running costs for your specific property during a free quote, rather than a generic estimate.
- Lower running costs, especially compared with an older, inefficient boiler
- Far fewer breakdowns and call-outs than an ageing system
- A full manufacturer's warranty for peace of mind
- Compatible with smart heating controls, for better day-to-day efficiency
- Lower carbon emissions than an old, inefficient boiler
AFFORDABLE SERVICING
Boiler Servicing
In South Shields
Regular servicing keeps your boiler safe, efficient, and within its warranty terms. Our Gas Safe engineers carry out a full service every visit – visual inspection, flue and ventilation checks, system pressure, condensate trap and filter, and more. For coastal properties, we pay particular attention to external flue and casing condition, given the extra exposure to sea air.
We service all makes and models of domestic boilers.
Why annual servicing matters:
- Keeps your boiler running efficiently, which helps keep bills down
- Checks safety components, reducing the risk of leaks or faults
- Catches small issues before they become expensive breakdowns
- Keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid - most require an annual service
CP12 GAS SAFETY
Landlord Gas Safety Certificates In South Shields
If you’re a landlord, we also provide CP12 Gas Safety Certificates across South Shields. During the inspection, we’ll check all gas appliances, pipework and flues, ensuring your property meets current gas safety regulations and providing the documentation you need to stay compliant.
FREE EXTENDED WARRANTIES UP TO 12 YEARS
Boiler Repairs
In South Shields
With so many long-established homes and older heating systems across South Shields, we see a steady stream of repairs – no heating, no hot water, low boiler pressure, a diverter valve fault, or unusual noises are among the most common, alongside flue or casing wear on coastal properties.
We repair all boiler brands, not just the ones we install – Alpha is one example we repair but don’t fit as new. Many repair call-outs can be attended the same day, depending on engineer availability.
HONEST RECOMMENDATIONS
Repair or Replace?
Not every fault means you need a new boiler. As a rough guide, a single fault on a boiler under 8-10 years old is usually worth repairing; frequent breakdowns, an ageing boiler, or a repair bill that starts approaching the cost of a service visit is often the point where replacing makes more sense. We’ll give you a straight recommendation during the call-out or survey – not a sales pitch either way.

“Will and his team were helpful and pleasant to deal with throughout the replacement of aging boiler. There was a lot to get through in a single day, but they arrived promptly with a strong team and got through the work quickly and efficiently, leaving everything tidy and clean behind them”
“Alex and Kyle fitted a new boiler moving it to the loft. Lovely guys, polite and friendly. The quality of work is exceptional. Despite it being in the loft where it will not be seen the pipes are really neat. Have a look at the photos. Never use anybody else.
“Just had a boiler installed by Housewarmers to replace the one they installed 18 years ago, and serviced annually by them.
Great service from a super friendly team. Fast and efficient installation, all rubbish removed and house left clean and tidy.
We have recommended Housewarmers to a few of our friends and they haven’t been disappointed with the level of service."
“I have had Housewarmers servicing my boiler for the last 19 years. We were looking at getting a new bathroom makeover and decided to ask Will at Housewarmers to give me a quote. We had the new bathroom installed in 2 days, this was for new wall panels, radiator, thermostatic shower, shower cubicle, and flooring.
Excellent job by Alex and Kyle.”
