Compare the whole heating-system scope
A replacement appliance should not be priced in isolation from controls, emitters, water quality, pipework and the condition of the existing system.
- Provide the boiler make, age and any fault code.
- Say how many radiators or heating zones are affected.
- For replacement work, list hot-water demand and property size.
- Confirm registration, controls, flushing, commissioning and certificates in the quote.

Croydon heating and clean-air context
Most of Croydon is within a smoke-control area, so solid-fuel installations need an address and appliance check
Croydon Council says the majority of the borough is a smoke-control area. In those areas, ordinary wood and bituminous coal are not authorised fuels unless an exempt appliance is being used, so a stove or solid-fuel heating job should start with the property's exact status rather than a borough-wide assumption.
The majority of Croydon is covered by smoke-control rules
Croydon Council says smoke-control rules apply across most of the borough and restrict smoke from domestic chimneys. If a job involves a wood burner or other solid-fuel appliance, confirm whether the address is inside the controlled area before choosing the appliance and fuel.

Unauthorised fuels are restricted unless an exempt appliance is used
The same council guidance states that ordinary wood and bituminous coal are not authorised fuels in a smoke-control area unless an exempt appliance is in use. Ask the installer to explain the appliance, permitted fuel and any certification or notification that will be provided on completion.

Give the exact appliance and fuel
A boiler fault, radiator move, full central-heating replacement and wood-burning stove installation need different skills, parts and compliance routes. Include the make, model and fuel where known.
Match the engineer to the work. For gas, solid-fuel or other regulated work, ask what registration or competence applies and what certification or notification will be provided.

Before you hire
What should you check before hiring a heating engineer?
Match the engineer's competence to the fuel and work, and compare the full system specification rather than just appliance price.
Check registration
For gas work, verify the engineer is appropriately Gas Safe registered for the work being undertaken.
Ask what diagnosis supports the repair
For recurring faults, understand the cause before repeatedly replacing individual parts.
Compare controls and commissioning
For new systems, include controls, balancing, water treatment and commissioning in the agreed scope.
