Describe your job

Planning work in Bournemouth

Bournemouth has a high proportion of pre-1990s housing stock, much of it with older non-condensing boilers approaching or past their 10–15 year service life. Coastal properties around Southbourne, Boscombe and Westbourne also face salt-air corrosion on older flues, making regular assessment and timely replacement especially relevant here.

Common requests

  • Upgrading an old non-condensing boiler to an A-rated combi
  • Replacing a boiler that keeps losing pressure or showing fault codes
  • Switching from a system boiler to a combi to free up the airing cupboard
  • Landlords needing a compliant, efficient boiler for a rental property
  • Properties with extensions needing a higher-output boiler

What to expect

  • A Gas Safe registered engineer will assess your current system, radiators and hot water needs
  • A like-for-like combi swap is usually completed in a single day
  • System changes (e.g. adding a cylinder or relocating the boiler) take 2–3 days
  • Powerflushing and new smart controls may be recommended alongside the swap
  • Confirm the commissioning record, applicable Building Regulations documentation and warranty arrangements for the work completed
