The lifespan of your boiler can vary depending on usage and correct maintenance, during any service we will try to give you an honest opinion on replacement where necessary.

This can vary depending on the level of remedial work
involved, once we have carried out a free of charge
quotation, we will be able to confirm the expected duration of the job, if for any reason the works run over, your original quote will stand, and you will not be charged for any additional time.

Bare Necessities cover homes and businesses across Hampshire, Dorset and Witlshire.

Boilers should be serviced annually to maintain efficiency and safety. Annual servicing also ensures compliance with most manufacturers’ warranty requirements and helps prevent costly repairs

Water in the South UK is hard due to limestone and chalk, which add calcium and magnesium. This causes limescale buildup in pipes, kettles, and appliances. Hard water is safe to drink but can affect plumbing efficiency and soap lathering.
