Boiler Service Christchurch
Annual servicing for homes, flats and rentals
Our Gas Safe engineers service boilers in Christchurch for homeowners, retired couples who want one less job to think about, and landlords with flats to keep compliant. One visit a year confirms the boiler is burning safely and catches small faults early.
Boiler service in Christchurch
Boiler service in Christchurch covers the flats above the shops on the High Street just as much as the family homes near the station. If you let a flat above the shops on Bargates, it needs a yearly gas safety check like any other rented home. The same goes for a holiday flat near the Quay or a let round the back of Saxon Square. Landlords must keep a current record and give tenants a copy, and the council's help for landlords pages cover the wider duties too, from deposits to the changes arriving with the Renters' Rights Act 2025. We can do the service and the gas safety record together, which saves a second visit and keeps your dates lined up year after year. For owners who live away, we can arrange access with a neighbour or agent.
We book annual boiler services across the area, from Burton and Winkton to Friars Cliff and Walkford.
The boilers we service here
Many boilers here are combis fitted when bungalows were converted from tank systems, alongside a fair number of older regular boilers still feeding a cylinder and loft tanks. The hard local water matters at service time: scale builds up in combi heat exchangers and cylinder coils, so we check hot water flow and temperature as well as combustion.

Services we carry out most often
Retirement flats
Highcliffe and the roads near the town centre have plenty of retirement flats, each with its own small combi. Where several owners in a block book together, we work through them on the same day and keep the house manager informed, so residents know when to expect us at the door.
Boilers in bungalow airing cupboards
In bungalows around Mudeford and West Highcliffe, the boiler often lives in a tight airing cupboard. We check the case seals and clearances, test the flue at both ends and make sure towels and bedding stored around it are not blocking any vents or the access the boiler needs.
Second homes near the quay
Second homes and holiday lets around Mudeford can stand empty for much of the winter. We service them before the season starts, run the heating long enough to prove it works and send the owner a written record listing anything we would like to see fixed.

Getting the most from your yearly service
Book a time when someone can show us round, or leave clear notes. In bungalows we may need to get into the loft to check the tanks and the open vent pipe, so keep the hatch reachable and the ladder handy. If the boiler cupboard has a lock or a fitted panel, have the key or a screwdriver ready.
If you live in a managed block, check whether the building has a shared flue or a communal gas supply. That affects how we test, and the managing agent may need to let us into plant rooms or meter cupboards. Give us the block name when you book so we can check ahead.
If you help an older relative with their boiler, look at the Priority Services Register run by energy suppliers. It offers extra support to older and disabled customers, and some eligible households can get a free gas safety check through it. Our guide on how often a boiler should be serviced covers the rest.
Why choose Wisp for boiler service in Christchurch
A proper look inside
We open the boiler, check combustion with a flue gas analyser, inspect seals and the condensate trap, and test every safety device.
Records for landlords
We issue the landlord gas safety certificate on the same visit as the service if you want both.
Carbon monoxide alarm check
We check there is a working CO alarm in the room with the boiler and can fit one if there is not.
Condensate pipes before winter
Many bungalows run the condensate pipe along an exposed outside wall. We check it is lagged and wide enough so it is less likely to freeze.

I'm in a retirement flat in Highcliffe. Who arranges the boiler service?
It depends on your lease. If the boiler belongs to your flat, arranging the service is usually your job, even when the building has a manager. Check the lease or ask the managing agent. We are happy to sort access with the agent and send the record to you both.
How long does a gas safety record last?
Twelve months. Landlords must arrange a new check within a year of the last one and give existing tenants a copy within 28 days. New tenants need theirs before they move in, and each record should be kept for at least two years.
What if the engineer finds a problem?
We explain what we found in plain English. If an appliance is unsafe we make it safe there and then, which can mean turning it off, and leave a written warning notice. Any repair is quoted before we start, and nothing happens without your go-ahead.
My bungalow still has tanks in the loft. Does the service cover those?
The service centres on the boiler, but on a tank-fed system we also look at the feed and expansion tank and the open vent, because faults there can make the boiler overheat or the water discolour. If the tanks are old, uncovered or rusting, we tell you and can quote for a replacement or a full conversion.
Can you send the service record to a family member too?
Yes. It is a common request in Highcliffe and Mudeford, where a son or daughter often helps a parent keep on top of the paperwork. Give us their email address when you book and we will copy them in on the record, along with any advice or quote that comes out of the visit.
