Your local Gas Safe heating engineer — based in Stowmarket, just 7 miles away
I'm Nic Hall, a Gas Safe registered heating engineer based in Stowmarket. Thurston is approximately 7 miles away along the main Stowmarket to Bury St Edmunds corridor — a straightforward drive that puts the village well within my regular working area.
With 15 years of experience installing boilers across mid-Suffolk, I offer a personal, hands-on service. There are no subcontractors, no call centres and no day-rate surprises — just one engineer who turns up on time, does the job properly, and leaves your home tidy.
Thurston is a growing village with a mix of older and newer housing stock. A significant proportion of properties are 1980s to 2000s builds — many of which have combi boilers that are now reaching the end of their lifespan and are due for replacement. If your boiler is over 10–12 years old, losing efficiency, or starting to require frequent repairs, a modern replacement will typically pay for itself through lower energy bills within a few years. I'll assess your existing setup, advise on the best option, and give you a clear fixed price before any work begins.
I also carry out annual boiler servicing in the area — a yearly service keeps your boiler running safely and efficiently, maintains your warranty, and is recommended every 12 months.

Prices start from £1,800 fully installed for a straightforward like-for-like combi replacement. The final price depends on the boiler model, your property type, and whether any additional work is needed such as a longer flue run or system flush.
