Replacement BoilerMate

Is Your Gledhill BoilerMate Leaking or Faulty?
Here’s What You Need to Know

If your home was built in the late 1980s or early 2000s, you might have a Gledhill BoilerMate installed. These units are commonly found in homes in Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Derbyshire, Greater London, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey, Warwickshire, West Midlands & Worcestershire.

Homeowners frequently encounter problems with the BoilerMate, such as circuit board (PCB) failures or leaks. Unfortunately, many everyday gas engineers and plumbers are unfamiliar with these complex systems, making repairs challenging.

What Should You Do?

When faced with persistent issues, especially leaks, the general advice is to replace the BoilerMate. Leaks can lead to significant corrosion, which can cause substantial damage over time.

Replacement Options

1. Combination Boiler

A common and cost-effective solution is to replace both the BoilerMate and the existing boiler with a combination boiler. However, there are a few considerations:

Performance: Unless you opt for a storage combination boiler (e.g., Worcester-Bosch Highflow), expect a noticeable reduction in hot water performance. This is particularly important for homes with two or more bathrooms, where reduced hot water availability can lead to inconvenience.

Installation: Installing a combination boiler often requires a larger gas pipe, which might necessitate running the pipe externally along the outside of your home in your brickwork or lifting carpets and flooring to access the subfloor. Additionally, combination boilers require a pressurized heating system, unlike some BoilerMate systems, which use a header tank in the loft. This change in pressure may cause leaks in existing radiators and pipework, and such issues are typically not covered under warranty.

Cost: A medium-capacity 30KW combi boiler installation generally costs around £3,000, including VAT.

2. Un-Vented Cylinder

Another option is replacing the BoilerMate with an un-vented hot water cylinder, like the Worcester-Bosch Green Storage. This allows you to keep your existing boiler, which might still have years of service left, and maintain high hot water output.

Advantages: An un-vented cylinder provides high output, mains-pressure hot water, similar to what you’re accustomed to, and uses a standard control system understood by most gas engineers.

Considerations: Installation requires a safety discharge pipe to expel excess heat or pressure outside. This may involve lifting carpets and flooring and running a copper pipe along your external walls. This option can be more expensive than a standard combi boiler, particularly if you eventually replace the existing boiler with a new condensing model. Expect to pay upwards of £3,000, including VAT.

Financing: With options like the Worcester-Bosch Green Storage, you can spread the cost over up to 10 years at 7.9% APR fixed or choose 12 months interest-free financing.

3. Thermal Store

Replacing the BoilerMate with a thermal store, such as an Advance, or a Thermflow from McDonald Water Storage, is often the best alternative.

Benefits: Thermal stores offer performance akin to the BoilerMate without the complicated circuitry. They are compatible with existing boilers, allowing you to upgrade to a condensing boiler at a later date. The system continues to use the existing header tank, maintaining system pressure and minimizing the risk of leaks. Importantly, no additional pipework is required, reducing disruption during installation.

Cost: Although slightly more expensive, replacing the BoilerMate with a thermal store typically costs around £3,500, including VAT, depending on the size. The reduced risk and disruption can provide added value.

Financing: When installed with a Worcester-Bosch boiler, we offer payment plans of up to 10 years at 7.9% APR fixed or 12 months interest-free-credit.
