EPH Services recently completed a full boiler installation in Norfolk for a renovation and extension project in Mileham. The work included a new Worcester Bosch Greenstar 12/18kW utility oil boiler, oil tank and supply, unvented hot water cylinder, underfloor heating, radiators, and all plumbing for new bathrooms and a kitchen.

Complete boiler installation Norfolk: heating system in Mileham

This renovation and extension project in Mileham required a complete heating and plumbing solution from the ground up. Our team installed a new heating carcass throughout the property, integrating modern radiators, underfloor heating, and a reliable Worcester Bosch oil-fired boiler system.

The Worcester Bosch Greenstar 12/18kW utility boiler provides efficient heat and hot water for the extended home, paired with an unvented hot water cylinder for high-pressure delivery to multiple bathrooms. We also installed a new oil tank and oil supply line to fuel the system, ensuring compliance with OFTEC standards for oil-fired heating installations.

What we installed

The full scope of work for this Mileham project included:

• New heating carcass and pipework throughout the renovation and extension
• Worcester Bosch Greenstar 12/18kW utility oil boiler
• Unvented hot water cylinder for mains-pressure hot water
• New oil tank and oil supply line
• Underfloor heating installation
• Radiator installations in all rooms
• Complete plumbing for new bathrooms and kitchen

Every element was installed to current building regulations and manufacturer specifications, with careful attention to system balance and energy efficiency.

Why choose oil heating for a rural Norfolk home

Many properties in rural Norfolk villages like Mileham are not connected to the mains gas network, making oil-fired heating a practical and efficient choice. Modern condensing oil boilers such as the Worcester Bosch Greenstar range offer excellent efficiency and reliability, with lower running costs than older models.

For homeowners in Mileham and surrounding areas looking to transition away from oil in the future, air source heat pump installations are an increasingly popular alternative. Upgrading from an oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump can qualify for a grant of up to £9,000 under the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme, helping to offset the upfront cost of renewable heating technology.

Frequently asked questions

How efficient are modern Worcester Bosch oil boilers?

Worcester Bosch Greenstar oil boilers are A-rated condensing models with efficiency ratings typically above 90%, significantly reducing fuel consumption and running costs compared to older non-condensing boilers.

Do I need an unvented cylinder with an oil boiler?

An unvented cylinder isn’t required, but it provides mains-pressure hot water to multiple taps and showers simultaneously without the need for a cold water storage tank in the loft. It’s particularly beneficial in larger homes or extensions with multiple bathrooms.

Can EPH Services install oil heating systems across Norfolk?

Yes, we are OFTEC-registered and carry out oil boiler installations, servicing and repairs throughout Norfolk, including rural areas not connected to mains gas. We also supply and install oil tanks and manage all pipework and compliance requirements.

What’s involved in installing underfloor heating with a new boiler?

Underfloor heating works at lower flow temperatures than radiators, making it highly efficient with modern condensing boilers and heat pumps. We install the pipe loops during the construction or renovation phase, connect them to a manifold and controls, and integrate the system with your heating source for zone-by-zone comfort.
