Farnworth sits between Bolton and Manchester, about fifteen minutes from our base in Hindley Green. It is a mill and mining town at heart, and its housing is dominated by dense Victorian and Edwardian terraced streets — which makes it one of the more technically interesting places we work.
Farnworth terraces are solid brick with no cavity. A flue has to be cored straight through a thick solid wall, and it has to terminate a safe distance from windows, doors, air bricks and neighbouring boundaries. On a mid-terrace with a narrow rear entry there is often only one workable position, and sometimes the boiler has to move to make it legal. This is precisely the kind of thing a survey catches and an online form does not.
We still find back boilers in Farnworth regularly. Removing one is a proper job: the old unit and its flue come out, the fireplace is made good, and the new boiler is installed elsewhere — nearly always the kitchen. It costs more than a straight swap and takes longer, so it gets surveyed and priced honestly up front rather than discovered on the day.
Many Farnworth terraces still run their original pipework, never flushed, with radiators that are cold at the bottom. A new boiler fitted onto that will struggle and its warranty may be affected. Every install we do includes a system cleanse and magnetic filter as standard.
A practical point that matters more than people expect on Farnworth's terraced streets: getting a boiler, tools and waste in and out. We plan access before the day so we are not blocking your street or your neighbours any longer than necessary.
The calculator above gives an instant fixed price for a standard swap. If you are on a back boiler or in one of the older terraced streets, ring us and we will come and look properly. Free, and no obligation.

A Worcester Bosch Greenstar 1000 24kW combi starts at £1,995 fully installed. Straight swaps in Farnworth typically fall between £1,995 and £2,595. Back boiler removals cost more because the old unit and flue must be removed, the fireplace made good and the boiler relocated — always quoted as one fixed price at survey.
Yes, we do this regularly. The main considerations are coring the flue through solid brick rather than a cavity, and siting it correctly away from windows, doors, air bricks and neighbouring boundaries. On a mid-terrace this sometimes means relocating the boiler, which we confirm at survey.
Yes. Back boilers behind the fireplace remain common in Farnworth's terraces. We remove the unit and flue, make good, and install a new Worcester Bosch combi, usually in the kitchen.
A straightforward combi swap is usually one day. A back boiler removal and relocation typically takes longer, which we confirm at survey rather than on the morning of the job.
