Boiler installers and housing in the East of England
In Cambridge, Norwich, Ipswich and Peterborough, most homes with gas are suited to a combi, and installers are used to fitting the common ranges. In the villages beyond the gas network, ask for an oil or LPG quote as well.
The East of England has flat, low-rise suburbs and market towns with plenty of 1930s and post-war housing, and also many rural homes that never had mains gas. Oil is common in the villages of Norfolk and Suffolk, so fuel comes first when you choose a boiler type.
Conversions in the East of England are mostly 1930s and post-war houses in Cambridge, Norwich and Ipswich, where a regular boiler and loft tanks are being replaced by a combi. Ask whether the old tanks are removed and taken away.
In the East of England, villages beyond the gas network run on oil, so a boiler service there is often an oil service by an OFTEC engineer rather than a gas one. In the towns, the gas boiler service is quick and easy to book.
A region of two halves. The Cambridge, Peterborough and Essex corridors have grown quickly and are dominated by post-war and recent cavity-walled housing. Rural Norfolk and Suffolk hold a much older stock, including timber-framed, flint and clay lump construction that needs breathable repair rather than modern sealed systems. Thatch survives here in greater quantity than in most of England.
Planning and building rules in the East of England
The Broads has National Park status, and the region has a high density of listed buildings in its market towns and villages. Thatched properties carry their own fire and insurance requirements, which shape what can be done to the house around them.
The weather
Along with the South East, this is the driest part of the UK at around 600mm a year, and East Anglia in particular is closer to a continental climate than the rest of the country. That means more frost than the mild west, and more of the freeze-thaw cycling that opens up mortar joints. The coast is flat and exposed, with little shelter from easterly wind.
