Boiler installers and housing in Wales
In Wales, the Nest scheme and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme are separate from the English schemes, and the building rules are set by the Welsh Government. A combi is the usual choice in the valley towns and the coast; farmhouses off the gas network may use oil.
Wales has many stone terraces in the valleys and older farmhouses, a lot of them with solid walls and awkward flue routes. Installers in the valleys and in Cardiff and Swansea are used to fitting a combi in a small kitchen, and rural homes often need an oil or LPG quote.
In the valley terraces and older farmhouses of Wales, conversions often involve awkward flue routes through solid walls. Building rules in Wales are set by the Welsh Government, and Nest may help eligible households with a replacement.
Wales has valley terraces and rural farmhouses, so boilers range from compact combis to oil boilers outside the gas network. A service on an oil boiler needs an OFTEC engineer, so say which fuel you have when you book.
Wales has one of the highest proportions of solid-wall, pre-1919 housing anywhere in the UK. The valleys are lined with stone terraces built for the coal and steel industries, roofed in Welsh slate and stepped down steep hillsides, which makes access and scaffolding a larger share of the bill than it would be on level ground. Cardiff and Newport add Victorian and interwar suburbs on more conventional lines.
Planning and building rules in Wales
Building regulations in Wales are set by the Welsh Government and have diverged from England, particularly on energy efficiency, so guidance written for England does not always apply. Eryri (Snowdonia), Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) and Pembrokeshire Coast are National Parks, each with its own planning authority and tighter control over external change.
The weather
Wet and exposed. Snowdonia is among the wettest ground in the UK, with parts of the uplands recording well over 2,000mm a year against a UK average nearer 1,150mm. Driving rain on west-facing solid walls is the single biggest weathering problem in the Welsh stock, and it is why breathable repair and correct pointing matter more here than in the dry east of England.
