Boiler Service Poole
Yearly checks that keep warranties valid and boilers safe
Our Gas Safe engineers carry out annual boiler services in Poole for homeowners, landlords and guest house owners. A service checks the boiler burns gas safely, clears out what a year of running leaves behind and spots worn parts before they fail on the coldest night of the year.
Boiler service in Poole
Boiler service in Poole is something we book all year round, from flats above the shops near the Dolphin Centre to the semis on the roads around Poole Hospital. Plenty of homes close to the town centre are let, and every gas appliance and flue in a rented home needs a safety check each year. If you take paying guests, the HSE guidance on who needs a gas safety check makes clear that hotels and B&Bs need an annual check on appliances serving guest rooms too. We can do the service and the gas safety record on one visit and email the paperwork, ready to hand to tenants or keep on file. Out towards Tower Park and the estates off Dorset Way, family homes need the same care. A yearly service is the cheapest way to catch a worn seal or a sticking fan before winter.
We carry out annual boiler services from Hamworthy and Creekmoor to Branksome and Lower Parkstone.
The boilers we service here
Most boilers we service here are condensing combis and system boilers, but the bigger houses add unvented cylinders, zone valves and sometimes a separate boiler for an annexe. Homes on the seafront and the cliff top show salt wear on flue terminals and outside condensate pipes first, so those parts get a close look on every visit.

What we service most across the area
Holiday lets between bookings
Flats and houses let to summer visitors around Canford Cliffs and the beach roads need the service and gas safety record done when nobody is staying. We work to your changeover days, check the boiler, hob and any gas fire in one visit and leave the place as we found it, ready for the next guests.
Unvented cylinders in big houses
Large houses in Branksome Park and Lilliput often run a system boiler, an unvented cylinder and two or three heating zones. Cylinder makers usually ask for a yearly check of the safety valves and expansion vessel too. Ask when you book and we check the cylinder on the same visit as the boiler.
Open-flue boilers in period terraces
Some Lower Parkstone terraces still run floor-standing or open-flue boilers fitted decades ago. These need more attention to the flue, the air supply and the room ventilation than a modern room-sealed boiler, so we test the flue draw and check the air vents have not been painted over or blocked during redecorating.

Booking a service around lets, keys and the season
Spring is the easiest time to get a service date that suits you. From October onwards everyone remembers their boiler at once, and owners of holiday homes on the peninsula want the work done before the Easter bookings start.
If you are not going to be there, sort access before the day. A key safe, a neighbour or your letting agent all work, as long as we can reach the boiler, the gas meter and any other gas appliance. In blocks of flats near the quay, tell us if the meter sits in a locked cupboard on the ground floor, because we need to see it.
Have the boiler manual or the last service record handy if you can find them, plus any warranty registration. Clear the cupboard so the engineer can get the case off without moving your shelves. For a sense of what affects the price, see our boiler service cost page.

Boiler installation PooleBoiler Service Poole FAQs
Can you service a holiday let on Sandbanks while I'm away?
Yes. Most owners leave a key with a neighbour or use a key safe. We service the boiler, check the other gas appliances if you need a gas safety record, and email the paperwork to you. If something needs fixing we ring you first and agree a price before doing it.
When is the best time of year to book?
Late spring or summer, if you can. The boiler is barely working, there are more appointments to choose from, and any fault turns up before the cold. Landlords should book around the date on their last gas safety record instead.
Is a service the same as a gas safety check?
Not quite. A gas safety check confirms appliances are safe to use, and it is what landlords must have every year. A service goes further: the engineer opens the boiler, cleans it and sets it up to run efficiently. Most landlords ask for both on one visit.
Do you service the unvented cylinder as well as the boiler?
We can, and it is worth doing. An unvented cylinder stores hot water at mains pressure, so its safety valves and expansion vessel need checking, and most makers want that done yearly to keep the cylinder warranty valid. Many of the larger houses in Branksome Park and Lilliput have one. Ask for it when you book so we allow the extra time.
My boiler is in a garage a short walk from the beach. Does it need anything extra?
Mainly a closer look for corrosion. Boilers in garages and outbuildings near the shore pick up salt on the casing, the brackets and the pipe fittings. At the service we check the case seals, clean off what we can and tell you if anything is starting to rust through. On Sandbanks and the cliff-top roads that check catches trouble early.
