A new boiler in Barnsley generally lands between £1,800 and £3,000 fitted for a straight swap, and the work takes a day. Joe does the whole job himself: the survey, the strip out, the fitting and the test.
Verity Heating Solutions is Gas Safe registered, number 633652, and you can check us on the Gas Safe Register before you let anyone through the door. Joe works out of Jump and covers Barnsley, the Dearne Valley and the rest of South Yorkshire. You get a fixed price before anything starts, and it does not move afterwards.
Which boiler will Joe fit?
Ideal, Baxi, Worcester Bosch and Glow-worm, mostly. He fits what suits the house and the budget, not whichever badge is paying a bonus that month.
Ideal Logic is the sensible middle of the market and it goes into a lot of Barnsley semis: parts are available everywhere and the warranty is long. Baxi sits in much the same place and the 800 range is a solid boiler. Worcester Bosch costs more and plenty of people ask for it by name, and the top of the Greenstar range carries the longest warranty of the three. Glow-worm is the value end, and in a smaller house there is nothing wrong with that.
Warranties run from about five years to twelve depending on the model. They all carry the same two conditions: the boiler is registered within a month of being fitted, and it is serviced every year after that. Missing services is the most expensive thing people do to a new boiler, because it can void the warranty on a part that would otherwise have been replaced for nothing.

These are what this kind of work costs around here, not a quote. Every house is different, and Joe gives you a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
What actually moves the price
- Where the boiler goes. Same spot on the same wall is the cheap version. Move it and you are paying for new gas, water and condensate runs and a new hole for the flue.
- What you are coming from. Combi to combi is a day. Pulling a back boiler out from behind a fireplace, or taking out a cylinder and the tanks in the loft, is more work and more making good afterwards.
- The state of the system you already have. Old pipework full of sludge has to be dealt with properly before a new heat exchanger goes on the end of it.
- The boiler itself. The gap between the bottom and the top of a range is mostly warranty length and hot water flow rate, and both are worth paying for in some houses and not in others.
- Controls. A smart thermostat is worth having, but it is a line on the quote rather than something thrown in.
Joe tells you which of these apply to your house before he quotes, so the number you agree is the number you pay.
When is the best time to get it done?
If the boiler is limping rather than dead, change it in late summer or early autumn. Two reasons for that. Every gas engineer in South Yorkshire is booked solid from the first proper cold snap through to the end of January, so a job you could have had done inside a week in September turns into a fortnight's wait in December. And a boiler that dies in the middle of a cold week is one you replace in a hurry, on its timescale rather than yours, without the chance to think about what you actually want.
If it has already gone and the house is cold, that is a different conversation. Ring and say so. Joe will tell you straight what he can do and when he can be there.
Why people in Barnsley ring Joe
Because one person does the whole job, and that person answers the phone. If something is not right in six months you are not explaining it to a call centre in another county, you are ringing the man who fitted it.
Verity means truth. Joe will tell you when you do not need the big job, and he will tell you when the boiler you have set your heart on is the wrong one for the house. That is the whole business plan.
Ring 07791 793415, or send a photo of your boiler to the same number on WhatsApp. He will tell you what it needs and what it costs before anything starts.
