SO14 – SO19, SO30 – SO32, SO40 – SO45
Heating, plumbing & electrical specialists in Southampton
BBI Heating is based in Southampton and Eastleigh, so Southampton is not a service area we drive out to — it is where we are. Twenty-five years working across the city means we already know the housing stock: the Victorian terraces around Portswood and St Denys, the post-war semis in Bitterne and Shirley, the newer estates out towards Hedge End, and the flats and conversions in the city centre. Each of those brings a different heating answer.
Local knowledge
What we see most in Southampton
- City centre flats and conversions — combi boilers and electric boilers where there is no room for a cylinder, plus air conditioning for top-floor flats that overheat.
- Victorian and Edwardian terraces — solid walls and high ceilings mean the heat loss calculation matters more than the appliance choice. We survey before we quote.
- Post-war semis with good loft and cavity insulation — often the strongest candidates in the city for an air source heat pump and the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
- Rental property across the city — EICR reports, landlord electrical testing and annual gas servicing, all from one contractor.

Questions
Southampton FAQs
Do you cover Southampton?
Yes. We are based in Southampton and Eastleigh and cover Southampton (SO14 – SO19, SO30 – SO32, SO40 – SO45) as standard, along with Totton, Hythe, Eastleigh, Hedge End, Romsey. We cover all SO postcodes.
How quickly can you get to Southampton for a breakdown?
Most repairs are completed the same day or the next day, subject to part availability. Outside office hours we run an emergency call out for boiler breakdown, heat pump breakdown and leaks.
Can I get the £7,500 heat pump grant in Southampton?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is national, not regional — what matters is the property and the installer. We are MCS accredited under NIC601962, which is what allows us to make the application on your behalf and show the grant as a deduction on your quotation.
Do you do the electrical work as well as the heating?
Yes. We are an NICEIC Approved Contractor as well as Gas Safe registered, so heat pumps, solar, EV chargers and electric boilers are handled by one contractor rather than two.
What are your service prices?
A gas boiler interim service is £70 + VAT and a full strip-down is £95 + VAT. Booked online they are £84 and £114 inc VAT. Heat pump services start from £195 + VAT.
