Nestled in the gentle folds of the River Stour valley, Wimborne Minster
One of Dorset’s most picturesque and historic market towns. With its stunning Minster church, independent shops, and a mix of period cottages and modern family homes, Wimborne demands heating engineers who understand both heritage properties and cutting-edge systems.
At Heat Firm Ltd we’ve been keeping Wimborne warm for over 27 years, servicing and repairing Vaillant, Worcester, Ideal, Baxi, Potterton, Glowworm, Main and Vokèra boilers across the BH21 postcode. What many of our Wimborne customers may not realise is that a huge part of our speed, reliability and competitive pricing comes from working hand-in-hand with one of the best independent boiler spares suppliers in Dorset: J & BS Boiler Spares.

Why Wimborne Deserves Truly Local Boiler Support
Wimborne isn’t Poole, Bournemouth or Christchurch. It has its own micro-climate (slightly colder winters thanks to the river valley), a high proportion of older properties with original or back-boilers, and a growing number of new-builds fitted with high-efficiency combis and heat pumps. Add in the town’s thriving rental market (especially around the grammar schools) and you have a community that needs fast, expert and fairly-priced heating services 365 days a year.
At Heat Firm Ltd we live and breathe Wimborne. Many of our Gas Safe engineers are local lads who know every shortcut from Leigh Road to Merley, from Julian’s Bridge to Colehill. When your boiler flashes an F75 on a Vaillant or your Worcester is locked out on a frosty February morning, the last thing you want is an engineer waiting three days for a part from a national depot. That’s where J & BS Boiler Spares steps in — less than two miles from Wimborne Square, they are the closest genuine trade counter many of our engineers will visit in a working week.
Meet J & BS Boiler Spares – Wimborne’s Heating Parts Powerhouse
Tucked away on the well-known Brook Road industrial estate (BH21 2BH), J & BS Boiler Spares has been serving Dorset engineers for over three decades. What started as a small unit has grown into one of the largest independent boiler spares stockists in the south, yet it remains fiercely local and trade-focused.
Walk through the trade counter at 1-4 The Depot and you’re greeted by staff who can quote you a Worcester diverter valve part number before you’ve finished your sentence. Their shelves are packed with everything a Heat Firm engineer could need on a Wimborne call-out:
- Pumps & valves for Ideal Logic & Vaillant ecoTEC
- PCBs and wiring harnesses for Baxi Duo-tec & Potterton Promax
- Electrodes, gaskets and thermocouples for Glow-worm, Main and Vokèra
- Expansion vessels, PRVs, fans and heat exchangers in every size
- Full range of Hive & Google Nest accessories for smart upgrades
Because J & BS is Wimborne-based, we can collect a part in under 10 minutes from most jobs in the town. No courier delays, no “out of stock” excuses — just genuine OEM parts, in hand, same day.
Real-World Wimborne Example: How the Partnership Works
Mrs Jenkins from Stone Lane, Wimborne called us on a bitterly cold Tuesday in January. Her 12-year-old Worcester Greenstar was showing F22 (low water pressure) and the house was dropping to 12 °C. Our engineer diagnosed a failed expansion vessel — a common issue on that model after 10+ years.
Instead of booking a return visit, he drove the 6 minutes to J & BS on Brook Road, collected the correct 8-litre vessel off the shelf, and was back on site within 25 minutes. Total repair time: under 2 hours from first knock to finished job, pressure tested and inhibition levels perfect, system fully recommissioned. Mrs Jenkins paid a fair price, stayed warm that night, and her landlord received a flawless gas safety certificate the same week. That simply doesn’t happen when parts are ordered from national warehouses.
The Bigger Picture – Keeping Wimborne Money in Wimborne
Every time Heat Firm buys from J & BS Boiler Spares:
- Wages are paid to Wimborne & Dorset residents
- Business rates support local services
- Apprentices are trained (J & BS has taken on several Heat Firm-sponsored youngsters)
- Money is re-spent in Wimborne cafes, pubs and shops
In 2024 alone we spent tens of thousands with J & BS — every penny staying within a 10-mile radius of the Minster. That’s real circular economy in action.
Both businesses are active in the community too. Last summer we jointly sponsored the Wimborne Minster Folk Festival heating marquee (yes, even folk dancers like to stay warm!), and J & BS regularly donates surplus fittings to Wimborne Men in Sheds for community projects.
Benefits for Wimborne Homeowners & Landlords
- Faster Repairs & Services
Average part collection time from J & BS: 9 minutes door-to-door. - Lower Costs
No courier surcharges or next-day delivery fees = fairer labour & parts pricing for you. - Genuine Parts, Every Time
All stock is direct from manufacturers — vital for maintaining boiler warranties and Gas Safe compliance.
- Same-Day Emergency Response
We can often fix “no heat” callouts the same day in Wimborne because the parts are already local.
- Supporting Your Town
Your invoice helps keep another Wimborne family business thriving.
Local landlords love the partnership too. When a tenancy turns over in July or August, we can service multiple properties in a single day because J & BS holds bulk stock of common Wimborne failures (Worcester 28i junior PCBs, anyone?).
Looking Ahead – Greener Heating for Wimborne
J & BS is already stocking hydrogen-ready components and heat-pump spares as Wimborne moves toward net-zero. When the first hydrogen trials come to Dorset, Heat Firm and J & BS will be ready — with the parts on Brook Road and the engineers living five minutes away.
