- Pilot light keeps going out
- Error codes on the display

Every boiler type
We service and repair all three system types
Combi boiler servicing & repairs
Combi boilers heat water on demand straight from the mains, with no need for a separate cylinder or tank, which makes them compact and a popular choice for smaller homes and flats. We confirm the unit suits your mains pressure and hot water demand, service it safely, and set the controls so you get instant heating and hot water from a single appliance.

Conventional boiler servicing & repairs
Conventional boilers — also called regular or heat-only — work with a hot water cylinder and a cold water storage tank, which suits larger homes and properties with traditional pipework. We check the cylinder, tank and controls alongside the boiler so the system delivers steady heating and a good volume of hot water.
Book now
System boiler servicing & repairs
System boilers use a hot water cylinder but build many components into the boiler itself, so no separate feed tank is required. They suit homes with higher hot water demand and more than one bathroom. We service the boiler and cylinder together and commission the system so heating and hot water run efficiently.

A few of the servicing and repair jobs we have done for customers across Bournemouth and Poole.
1 / 1
- Boiler Service & RepairsBoiler service and repair, PooleA Poole homeowner booked his annual service and mentioned that the hot water was slow and some radiators weren't warming their rooms. We were there in 45 minutes. Running the boiler showed a quiet but tell-tale noise. Inside, the fan air pressure was low and the spark electrodes had oxidised, so they needed replacing rather than cleaning. The cause was limescale on the heat exchanger, common with the area's hard water, so we connected a power flush machine and cleared it.Read the case study
- Boiler Service & RepairsBoiler service, Oxford Road BH8A customer in BH8 asked for her annual service after noticing her water was taking longer to heat up. We reached Oxford Road within the hour. Her Worcester Bosch Greenstar 40 CDi was slow to heat the water and some rooms were short of heat. Bleeding the radiators brought out brownish water, a sign of limescale in the pipework, and the filters had corroded. We power flushed the system to break down the limescale and clear the corrosion.Read the case study
- Boiler Service & RepairsCommercial hot water repair, Mannings Heath Road BH12A restaurant on Mannings Heath Road called at 10am with no hot water. The pump and the three-phase element in the cylinder had no power, and because that element runs at 415 volts we brought in an electrician. A failed connection had tripped other components. After five hours the system was working and tested. When the hot water failed again the next afternoon, we returned on Sunday morning, reset the tripped element and called later to confirm it was holding temperature.Read the case study
- Boiler Service & RepairsUnderfloor heating repair, Parkstone BH14A regular customer in Parkstone, BH14, rang because parts of their underfloor heating weren't warming up, and we visited the next day. The thermostat heads were leaking, and the lost pressure was making the underfloor system fail. Testing each zone separately showed that several of them were leaking. We replaced every leaking thermostat head, catching the problem before it turned into a more serious leak.Read the case study
- Boiler Service & RepairsMajor boiler service, Whitecliff BH14A long-standing customer in Poole, BH14, near Whitecliff, has had his boiler serviced with us for years, and it shows. We booked his major service for a week after his call, at a time that suited him. On the day we stripped the boiler down, checked that every component was working properly and cleaned the parts. We also checked the flue and ventilation to make sure everything met the Gas Safety Regulations.Read the case study
- Boiler Service & RepairsAnnual Viessmann service, Poole BH15We fitted a Viessmann boiler in a house in Poole, BH15, two years ago and recommended a service every year. At its second annual service we checked for leaks and damage and found none, then checked the controls and pipework and removed the case to inspect the main heat exchanger. The flue had more build-up than we expected, so we gave it a chemical clean. Left any longer, that build-up could have led to a repair.Read the case study
- Boiler Service & RepairsBoiler repair, Rossmore BH12A customer in Rossmore, BH12, called about banging and whistling noises from his boiler. He agreed it sounded like a kettle, which told us the boiler was kettling. That can mean a new boiler is needed, but his was fairly new, so we booked a repair for the next day instead. On site we found the cause was limescale build-up. We took the boiler components apart and cleaned every part that needed it.Read the case study
- Boiler Service & RepairsBoiler service before a house sale, Exeter Road BournemouthA couple living off Exeter Road in Bournemouth were selling their house and needed the boiler serviced before they handed it over. They wanted to give the buyers a recent service certificate, so the new owners could be confident their heating and hot water would be reliable from the day they moved in. We carried out the service so the couple had that certificate to pass on with the house.Read the case study
- Boiler Service & RepairsKettling boiler, Roslin Road BH3A customer on Roslin Road in Bournemouth, BH3, rang unsure whether her boiler needed a repair or a replacement. She described a rumbling and whistling sound like a kettle, which told us it was kettling. The next day we found sludge, most likely magnetite from the radiators, blocking the system and overheating the water. We took the heat exchanger apart and cleaned it, and the water flowed freely again at the right temperature.Read the case study

FAQs
Everything you need to Know
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Boilers should be serviced once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Annual servicing keeps your boiler running safely and efficiently, maintains the manufacturer's warranty, and helps catch small faults before they develop into costly breakdowns. We recommend booking your service before winter so your system is ready for the colder months.
What does a boiler service include?
A boiler service from Senior Heating Solutions includes a visual inspection of the boiler and flue, checks on all internal components including the heat exchanger, burner and seals, a flue gas analysis, pressure and safety checks, and a test of all controls. Any faults or wear are identified and reported, and the engineer will advise on any repairs needed to keep the system safe and efficient.
How long does a boiler service take?
A standard boiler service typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the boiler type and its condition. Combi, conventional and system boilers vary slightly in the number of components checked. Our engineers work efficiently without cutting corners, so most services are finished within the hour.
Why is my boiler making a banging or whistling noise?
Banging, whistling or gurgling noises are usually caused by trapped air, low water pressure, a failing pump, limescale on the heat exchanger (known as kettling), or sludge in the system. These sounds mean your boiler needs attention — ignoring them can lead to a full breakdown. We offer same-day boiler repairs across Bournemouth and Poole to diagnose and fix the cause quickly.
Do I need a Gas Safe engineer to repair my boiler?
Yes. By law, all gas boiler repairs must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer in the UK. Working on a gas appliance without Gas Safe registration is illegal and dangerous. All of our engineers are fully qualified and Gas Safe registered, and you can verify any engineer's registration on the official Gas Safe Register website.
My boiler has no heating or hot water — what should I do?
First check the thermostat settings, the boiler pressure (it should read between 1 and 1.5 bar), and whether the pilot light is on. If everything looks normal but the problem persists, it is likely a fault with the diaphragm, a valve or another internal component. Call us on 07900 930999 — we offer same-day emergency boiler repairs in Bournemouth and Poole with no call-out fee.
Should I repair or replace my boiler?
It depends on the boiler's age, the cost of the repair and how often it breaks down. As a general guide, if the repair cost is more than half the price of a new boiler, or the boiler is over 10 to 12 years old and breaking down regularly, replacement is usually the more cost-effective choice. We give honest, impartial advice — our engineers will assess your system and give you a clear recommendation with no pressure to commit.
Do you offer same-day boiler repairs in Bournemouth and Poole?
Yes. We offer same-day boiler repairs across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and the wider Dorset area, with 24/7 emergency callouts and no call-out fees. To book a same-day visit, call us on 07900 930999 or fill in the form on this page.
