Free boiler grants in Thornaby-on-Tees
Across Thornaby-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.
Thornaby's terraced and post-war housing often runs on ageing 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 Thornaby-on-Tees
Thornaby-on-Tees grew around ironworks and an aircraft factory and was later home to an RAF station whose name lives on locally. The old village green still survives amid the later industrial and residential development on the south bank of the Tees opposite Stockton.
That long history is reflected in Thornaby-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 Thornaby-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.
