Property Types in Thornaby
1960s-70s Housing
A lot of Thornaby was built in this period. Common features:
- Back boilers - Many still have old back boilers behind gas fires. These are inefficient and parts are increasingly hard to get. Worth upgrading to a modern boiler.
- Microbore pipework - Small diameter pipes that can restrict flow. Sometimes causes issues with modern boilers.
- Single-glazed or early double glazing - Heat loss means the heating system works harder.
If you have a back boiler, we can upgrade to a modern combi or system boiler. It’s a bigger job than a straight swap, but the efficiency gains are significant.
Victorian Terraces
The village area has some older terraced properties:
- Often gravity-fed systems with tanks in the loft
- Lead pipework that should be replaced
- Limited space for boilers (utility areas, kitchens)
- Solid walls that need surface-mounted or carefully routed pipes
Modern Apartments
The riverside area has newer flats and apartments:
- Usually combi boilers, straightforward to service
- Access can sometimes be tricky (building entry, parking)
- May have communal heating in some blocks

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Ingleby Barwick?
Yes - Ingleby Barwick is covered under our Stockton area, but we regularly work there from Thornaby jobs. Same prices, no extra travel charge.
Can you replace my back boiler?
Yes - we remove old back boilers and install modern replacements. It’s more involved than a standard swap (the fire surround needs attention too), but we handle the gas side and can recommend people for the fireplace work.
How long does a boiler service take?
Usually 45-60 minutes. We’ll need access to the boiler and ideally the loft if you have a traditional system with tanks.
Do you work on combi boilers and system boilers?
Yes - all types. Combis, system boilers, heat-only boilers, and we can advise on which type suits your property if you’re considering a change.
