The boiler always seems to pack in on the coldest night of the year. You go to run a bath and there's no hot water. The heating won't fire up and the house is freezing by morning. That's when you need boiler service and boiler repair in Ringwood done fast, by someone who can get to you the same day.
I work out of Hurn Road, between Matchams and St Leonards, just outside Ringwood. Being this close means I'm not driving in from Bournemouth to reach you. I know the area, and I can get to most local jobs quickly. I'm Gas Safe registered (number 577467), so every gas job I do is safe and legal.

Boiler Service and Boiler Repair in Ringwood
A boiler that gets looked at once a year is a boiler that lasts longer and breaks down less. A yearly boiler service catches small faults before they leave you cold. I check the parts, test the pressure, and make sure it's burning safely. The best time to book is early autumn, before the first cold snap, when everyone else remembers at once and the diary fills up.
When a boiler stops, you want boiler repair that's quick and honest. Most boiler breakdown repair jobs come down to a few common faults — a failed pump, a stuck valve, low pressure, or a worn part. I carry common spares in the van, so a lot of repairs get sorted in one visit. If your boiler won't fire up, is making odd noises, or keeps dropping pressure, give me a ring.
If your boiler is old and repairs are stacking up, a new one may be the cheaper choice over time. I handle boiler installation on all the main makes — Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, and Glow-Worm. I'll talk you through the right size and model for your home, so you're not paying for more than you need. If you've been searching for a Worcester Bosch engineer near you, that's me.
Central Heating Services
Your central heating is more than the boiler. It's the pipes, the radiators, the pump, and the controls that tie it all together. I handle heating system installation for new builds and full replacements, plus maintenance and repair when something isn't working right.
Cold spots at the top of a radiator usually mean trapped air. A radiator that's cold at the bottom often needs a flush. If your heating's packed in completely, I'll find the fault and fix it. I also fit and repair thermostats, including modern smart ones, so you can set your heating to suit your day and cut your bills. Thermostat installation and repair is a small job that makes a real difference.
Most homes around here have wet central heating with radiators, not ducted air, so duct cleaning and other HVAC jobs rarely come up. If you do have a ducted system, ask and I'll point you the right way.
Gas Engineer Services
Gas work is not a job for anyone without the right ticket. As a Gas Safe registered engineer, I can carry out any gas job safely. That covers the gas safety certificate, gas appliance installation and repair, and gas leak detection.
If you can smell gas, don't wait. Turn off the supply at the meter, open the windows, keep flames away, and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999. Then get in touch with me to find and fix the leak.
I install and repair gas cookers, hobs, fires, and boilers. Every appliance gets tested and left safe.
Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)
If you rent out a property, the law says you need a gas safety check every year. This is the landlord gas safety certificate, which most people call a CP12. I check every gas appliance and flue in the property, then give you the certificate you need to stay on the right side of the law.
I work with local landlords and letting agents across Ringwood and the towns around it. Book your CP12 in good time and I'll keep a note of when the next one is due, so you never let it lapse.
Plumbing Services
Not every job involves gas. I handle general plumbing too. A leak under the sink, a dripping tap, a running toilet — these seem small but they waste water and can cause real damage if left.
I take care of leak detection and leak repair, tracking down where the water is really coming from before it soaks into your floors and walls. I do pipe repair, tap installation and repair, and toilet installation and repair. I also fit and fix showers, from a weak trickle to a full shower installation and repair. Water heater installation and repair is covered as well, so you're never left without hot water for long.
In winter, keep an eye out for frozen pipes. A frozen condensate pipe is one of the most common reasons a boiler shuts down in a cold snap. If your boiler stops on a frosty morning and makes a gurgling sound, this is often the cause — and it's usually an easy fix.
Bathroom Installation and Renovation
A new bathroom lifts the whole house. I fit bathrooms from start to finish, so you only deal with one person from the first idea to the last tile.
That covers bathtub installation, repair, replacement and refinishing, plus shower refinishing to bring an old shower back to life. I do tile work installation and replacement, bathroom tile reglazing, and worktop resurfacing when you want a fresh look without a full rip-out. I handle plumbing fixture installation and water fixture repair — taps, basins, toilets and more. Floor fitting and flooring repair, extractor fan installation and repair to clear the damp, and full bathroom remodelling are all part of the service.
Tell me what you want and your budget, and I'll give you a straight answer on what works.

Common questions
The things people ask me most
What do I do if my boiler stops working?
First, check the basics. Is there power to the boiler? Is the pressure gauge in the green, usually between 1 and 1.5 bar? Has the thermostat been knocked? A quick reset fixes some faults. If it still won't fire up, don't keep hitting reset — call me and I'll take a look.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year. A yearly service keeps it running well, keeps the warranty valid on newer boilers, and catches faults early. Autumn is the best time, before the heating goes on for winter.
Do I need a CP12 as a landlord?
Yes. If you let a property with gas appliances, you must have a gas safety check every year and give your tenants a copy of the certificate. It's the law. I can sort your CP12 and remind you when it's due again.
How quickly can someone come out?
Because I'm local to Ringwood, I can often get to you the same day for a breakdown, and faster than firms driving in from Bournemouth or Poole. Call me early and I'll tell you straight when I can be there.
