According to the observations of Plumbers 365 experts, the salt-laden air accelerates corrosion and rusting on standard metal flue terminals much faster than inland. Plumbers 365 gas heating experts often advise that if you live within a mile of the sea (e.g., Southbourne, Alum Chine, or Sandbanks), your boiler flue is exposed to a "marine environment." Standard metal flues can rust and pit prematurely, potentially compromising the seal.
Plumbers 365 Expert Advice: Our gas heating experts often recommend installing plume management kits or checking flues more frequently in coastal properties to ensure the integrity of the exhaust pipe hasn't been eaten away by the salty breeze.
Plumbers 365 gas heating experts have often observed that for many homes in Bournemouth, a heat pump is becoming an increasingly viable option. Air source heat pumps work by extracting heat from the outside air. They are most efficient in milder climates as observed by heating experts at Plumbers 365. Our relatively temperate South Coast winters, compared to the north of the UK, mean that heat pumps can operate very effectively here. However, they require a well-insulated home and often larger radiators to work best, so Plumbers 365 experts suggest a proper survey which is essential to see if your property is suitable.
With a dedicated team based out of Bournemouth, Plumbers 365 has engineers stationed across the conurbation, aiming for a same-day response for heating emergencies. We know that navigating the Wessex Way or the Castle Lane traffic can be a nightmare. We don't dispatch engineers from miles away. By having team members based in Poole, Bournemouth Central, and Christchurch, we can get to you quickly, ensuring you aren't left shivering when the sea fog rolls in.
As a homeowner/landlord in Bournemouth, you must obtain a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate every 12 months and provide a copy to your tenants within 28 days. Gas Heating experts at Plumbers 365 have often observed that Bournemouth has a high density of student lets (HMOs) and holiday rentals. The law being strict: every gas appliance (boiler, hob, fire) must be checked annually by a Gas Safe engineer, Plumbers 365 experts always advise our clients to get it done on priority. Failure to do so is a criminal offence. Plumbers 365 offers a landlord reminder service, so you never miss a renewal date which might be crucial for managing busy student changeovers in Winton and Charminster.
Yes, this is one of the most common and valuable upgrades which gas heating experts at Plumbers 365 perform in Bournemouth's many bungalows and older houses. An old back boiler (usually found behind a gas fire) is inefficient and bulky. Plumbers 365 gas heating experts often suggest upgrading to a modern A-rated combi boiler which involves:
The result is huge savings on your energy bills, instant hot water, and a lot more storage space as often seen by Plumbers 365 gas heating engineers.
Plumbers 365 experts have often seen that the gurgling noise is the sound of trapped air in your heating system. As the water begins to circulate, it pushes the air around the pipes and radiators, causing the gurgling. It's a sign that your radiators need "bleeding" to release this trapped air. It also reduces the efficiency of your system, as air doesn't radiate heat as well as water. Plumbers 365 experts suggest to call for professional help but immediate fix involves:
Important: After bleeding, check your boiler pressure gauge. It will have dropped, and you will need to top it up (see below).
As often observed by gas heating experts at Plumbers 365 the cost varies significantly based on several factors (new boiler, new radiators, new pipework). Plumbers 365 experts have often seen that this is a major renovation involving lifting floorboards where the main variables are:

According to Plumbers 365 experts bleeding radiators is a simple but important task and you should only bleed the system when it is cold, and top up the pressure via the "filling loop" immediately afterwards. Homeowners often bleed radiators until the hissing stops, then forget the boiler. If you release air, the pressure gauge on your boiler will drop towards zero. Plumbers 365 Gas Heating experts suggest to follow these steps for bleeding your radiators in a safe manner:
Plumbers 365 gas heating experts have often seen that you don't need a traditional chimney to have a modern, efficient gas fire. The solution is a "balanced flue" gas fire. This type of fire has a twin-walled pipe that goes directly through an external wall. It draws clean air for combustion from the outside through one part of the pipe and expels the waste gases through the other. They are highly efficient and safe, making them perfect for modern and renovated homes.
Plumbers 365 gas heating experts have also seen people going for “Flueless” solution which uses a catalytic converter to clean the fumes (requires a wall vent).
Both options allow you to have a cosy focal point without an open chimney.
