At Senior Plumbing and Heating, I love building relationships with our clients. This is an example of a regular customer seeing great results with their boiler for years. 4 years ago, we installed their boiler in their home in Bournemouth, BH4. It was after they had been dealing with the problems that come with having an old, run-down boiler that was not looked after; their hot water ran out quickly and their water pressure was getting worse. After our installation, I informed them about the benefits of having an annual boiler service. We have recently done our 3rd service on this couple’s boiler. After removing its parts, we inspected and cleaned them to ensure that all aspects of the boiler were working properly. When inspecting the flues, we found some small build-up.

If this was not found during this service, it would have gradually gotten worse and worse and may have lead to boiler problems. This would have then resulted in a boiler repair – costing them more money than necessary. Luckily, we unblocked the flue so it was working as good as when we fitted it 4 years ago! After the service, we agreed to see them next year, for their next service.
Everything you need to Know
It’s recommended to have your boiler serviced once a year. Annual servicing keeps it running efficiently, helps maintain your manufacturer’s warranty, and ensures it’s safe to operate, particularly important before the winter months.
Common warning signs include no hot water or heating, unusual noises (banging, whistling, or gurgling), low pressure, leaks around the unit, error codes on the display, or the boiler repeatedly cutting out. If you notice any of these, contact us as soon as possible to avoid a full breakdown.
Strange noises can indicate issues such as limescale build-up, a failing pump, or trapped air in the system. It’s best not to ignore them. Switch the boiler off and call us. Our engineers can diagnose and fix the problem quickly.
