Why boiler service costs more in Fareham

That matters: older properties usually mean more pipework, rewiring and retrofit surprises, while newer builds in districts like PO14, PO16 tend to be quicker jobs with standardised fittings. Local trade prices sit a little above the UK average, which tracks with Hampshire labour and material costs.
For boiler service, Fareham sits roughly 5% over the UK average, with quotes landing £85 to £160 per annual service and a smaller pool of local firms to draw on.
