Plumbing and heating in Bolton
Bolton is a comfortable run north west from Whitefield and we cover BL1 through BL7, taking in Farnworth, Horwich, Westhoughton, Little Lever, Kearsley, Bromley Cross, Astley Bridge, Halliwell, Great Lever, Breightmet and Harwood.
A lot of Bolton's older housing is stone-built rather than brick, particularly around Halliwell, Great Lever and the mill-town streets closer to the centre. Solid stone walls hold heat differently to cavity-walled property and lose it faster, which means a boiler sized purely off the number of bedrooms will often be undersized in practice. We work off the actual property rather than a rule of thumb.
Out towards Bromley Cross, Egerton and Harwood there are considerably larger detached homes, many with extensions, conservatories and multiple bathrooms added over time. These usually need a system boiler and a properly sized cylinder rather than a combi, and often benefit from zoning the heating so you're not paying to heat the whole house to reach one cold room.

What size boiler do I need for a stone-built Bolton property?
It depends on heat loss rather than bedroom count. Solid stone walls lose heat faster than modern cavity construction, so these properties often need more output than a simple rule of thumb suggests. We calculate it from the actual property at survey stage.
