Addiscombe homes
Most Addiscombe homes are combi homes
Just east of East Croydon station, Addiscombe is Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, plenty of flat conversions, and newer apartments near the station. In most of them the combi is already there, so a new one is a straight swap in the same position.
Some houses still have a regular boiler with tanks in the loft, and some older semis still have a back boiler. Those are bigger jobs. If that’s you, see back boiler replacement in Addiscombe or combi conversions. For everything else in the area, our Addiscombe page has the details, and combi boiler installation explains how combis work.

FAQ
Combi questions from Addiscombe
Do you need my building manager’s permission?
For a like-for-like swap in the same position, usually not, but leases vary. For a new flue position, often yes. We’ll give you the details to send them.
Is a combi right for a terrace with loft tanks?
Often, yes. It takes out the tanks and cylinder and gives mains-pressure hot water. We measure your mains flow first, because a combi is only as good as the water coming in.
How long will I be without hot water?
For a combi to combi swap, usually just the working day. Conversions from tanks or a back boiler take longer, and your quote says how long.
Do you cover the rest of CR0?
Yes, including Addiscombe, Shirley, Waddon and central Croydon. See also our Shirley page.
Will the new combi need a different flue?
Every new boiler comes with a new flue kit. Whether it can go in the same position depends on today’s rules about windows, doors and boundaries. We check before we quote.
