Free boiler grants in Stockton-on-Tees

Across Stockton-on-Tees and the wider Tees Valley area, thousands of homes are still heated by boilers fitted before 2005. These older units are typically non-condensing, running at perhaps 65–78% efficiency, which means a large slice of every heating bill is wasted up the flue. A modern condensing boiler runs at over 90%, so replacing an old one can noticeably cut bills while making the home warmer and more reliable.

Stockton's older terraced and riverside housing often runs on pre-2005 boilers. If that sounds like your property, you may be able to have it replaced through a grant. The eligibility check is free and there's no obligation — we'll simply tell you honestly whether you qualify.

A little about Stockton-on-Tees

Stockton-on-Tees boasts one of the widest high streets in England, a legacy of its days as a major market and port on the Tees. It was here that the friction match was invented by John Walker, and the town was the other end of the pioneering Stockton and Darlington Railway. The riverside has been transformed in modern times with parks and events spaces.

That long history is reflected in Stockton-on-Tees's housing, and with older property often comes older heating. Whatever the age or style of your home, if it relies on a pre-2005 boiler we can help you find out whether grant funding could cover a replacement.

How the grant works

The process is simple. First, you check your eligibility online or over the phone — you'll generally need a qualifying old boiler plus a household member receiving certain benefits or on a low income. Next, a qualified surveyor visits your Stockton-on-Tees home to confirm the boiler type and assess the system. If funding is approved, our Gas Safe registered engineers install a new condensing boiler, usually within a day, and register the warranty for you. From start to finish we keep things clear, local and pressure-free.
