When a heating system develops a fault, it’s easy to assume the worst — especially when you discover that the part you need is obsolete, discontinued or difficult to identify.
But a discontinued part doesn’t necessarily mean the entire system needs replacing.
At Supplied Direct, we specialise in helping customers and heating engineers locate obsolete and hard-to-find heating spares, including parts for older Gledhill systems.
Can’t Identify the Part? Send Us a Photo
One of the biggest problems with older heating systems is simply working out which replacement part is required.
Labels may have faded, part numbers can be difficult to read, and the original component may no longer appear in current manufacturers’ catalogues.
That’s where specialist knowledge can make a difference.
If you have an old component and you're struggling to identify it, send Supplied Direct a clear photograph of the part and any labels, numbers or markings visible on it.
Our team can use the information provided to help identify what you have and determine whether a suitable replacement is available.
Obsolete Doesn't Always Mean Unavailable
Manufacturers regularly update product ranges and discontinue older components. However, thousands of properties across the UK still rely on older heating and hot-water systems every day.
Replacing an entire system because of one failed component can potentially be a major and unnecessary expense.
Depending on the system and fault, the correct replacement spare could be all that's needed to get things working again.
That's why our approach is simple:
DON’T REPLACE IT. IDENTIFY IT.
Before assuming a complete replacement is your only option, find out whether the part you need can still be sourced.

How to Help Us Identify Your Part
When contacting us, try to provide clear photographs from several angles. Include a close-up of any manufacturer labels, model numbers, serial numbers, specifications or other markings.
If possible, also tell us the make and model of the heating system the component came from.
The more information we have, the better chance we have of correctly identifying the part.
Before You Replace the System, Speak to Supplied Direct
A broken component shouldn't automatically mean the end of an otherwise serviceable heating system.
If you've been told a part is discontinued, can't find it online or simply don't know what you're looking for, send us a photo and ask our team.
We may be able to help you find the part others have stopped stocking.
