Ringwood sits proudly at the gateway to the New Forest –
A bustling market town where ancient woodland meets modern estates, and where a reliable boiler is the difference between a cosy evening by the log burner and a night huddled under blankets. From Ashley Heath to Poulner, Hightown to Avon Castle, thousands of Ringwood homes trust Heat Firm Ltd for their boiler servicing, emergency repairs, landlord certificates and smart thermostat upgrades.
The reason we can turn up fast, fix first time and still keep our prices fair? Our long-standing love affair with J&Bs Plumbing & Heating at 2 Endeavour Park, Crow Arch Lane, Ringwood BH24 1SF – where the brilliant Lee has been running the branch since he left school and is, quite simply, one of the nicest guys in the trade.
t was an absolute pleasure to meet Lee recently, and his knowledge, enthusiasm and genuine care for customers is exactly why J&Bs Ringwood is our go-to local supplier. In this 1,500-word celebration of Ringwood pride, we explain how this partnership keeps your boiler running perfectly while keeping money right here in the BH24 community.
Why Ringwood Deserves Properly Local Boiler Support
Ringwood has its own heating fingerprint:
- Extremely hard water from the Avon valley that destroys heat exchangers and pumps faster than almost anywhere else in Hampshire
- A mix of huge New Forest mansions with multiple boilers and tiny forest cottages with back-boilers
- Hundreds of holiday lets and Airbnb properties around Moortown and Hangersley needing instant gas safety certificates
- Bitter winter frosts that drop lower than the coast because we’re inland
When your Worcester decides to throw an EA error code at 6 p.m. on a Friday in February, you need an engineer who can collect the exact part before the pubs shut – not wait until Tuesday for a courier.
That’s where Lee and the J&Bs Ringwood team save the day, every day.

Meet J&Bs Plumbing & Heating Ringwood – Lee’s Branch
Pull into Endeavour Park on Crow Arch Lane (BH24 1SF) and you’ll find one of the best-stocked independent heating merchants in the south. Lee has literally grown up in the trade – starting as a Saturday lad straight out of Ringwood School and now running the branch with a smile that makes every visit feel like catching up with an old mate.
The shelves are a Heat Firm engineer’s dream:
- Full range of Vaillant & Worcester pumps, diverter valves and flow sensors (the three things Ringwood water kills most)
- Baxi, Ideal, Potterton & Glow-worm PCBs, fans and gas valves always in stock
- Marine & hard-water spec heat exchangers for properties near the river
- Every size of expansion vessel and PRV – pre-charged and ready to fit
- Complete Hive & Google Nest stock including stands, extenders and 3rd-gen thermostats
- Scale inhibitors and Fernox F1 protector in 20-litre drums for Ringwood’s brutal water
Because it’s only 4–8 minutes from almost every job in Ringwood, our vans are never stuck waiting for parts.
Real Ringwood Rescue Story – Lee to the Rescue
Last October Mr Thompson in Hangersley rang at 8 a.m. – no heating, no hot water, F.75 fault on his Vaillant ecoTEC Plus. Classic failed pump/pressure sensor combo caused by Ringwood’s limescale. Our engineer diagnosed it, rang ahead to Lee, who had both genuine Vaillant parts waiting on the counter before the kettle had boiled. Collected in 9 minutes, back on site, repaired and tested by 10:20 a.m. House warm again before the school run.
Lee even threw in a free magnetic system filter “because Ringwood water is evil” (his words). That’s the kind of service you only get when your branch manager has lived and breathed the town his whole life.
The Ringwood Money-Go-Round
Every time Heat Firm spends at J&Bs Crow Arch Lane:
- Lee and his team get paid Ringwood wages
- Apprentices are trained (two of our current engineers started their careers on Lee’s counter
- Money gets spent in The Railway, Star Inn or Fish Inn chippy
- J&Bs sponsor Ringwood Town FC under-12s and the Hornets rugby club
In 2024 we spent north of £70,000 at the Ringwood branch alone – almost every penny staying within the BH24 postcode. That’s proper local economy in action.
We give back together too. Last summer Lee and the J&Bs team helped us donate boilers parts and CO alarms to Ringwood Foodbank’s winter appeal, and they regularly supply fittings for Ringwood Men in Sheds projects.
What It Means for Every Ringwood Customer
- Lightning-fast repairs – average part collection 7 minutes
- No national courier rip-off prices – genuine parts at proper trade rates
- Same-day emergency fixes across the entire Ringwood area
- Landlord & holiday-let CP12s often issued same or next day
- Hard-water packages tailored specifically for BH24
Holiday-let owners in particular love us. A failed boiler the day before a £3,000-week booking used to be a disaster. Now it’s a quick call to Heat Firm, a 10-minute dash to Lee, and the guests never know there was ever a problem.
Future-Proofing the Forest Edge
Lee is already stocking hydrogen-ready valves, heat-pump spares and the very latest low-NOx burners. When Ringwood’s first eco-developments arrive off Christchurch Road or Crow Lane, Heat Firm and J&Bs Ringwood will have the parts on the shelf before the show-home even opens.
