What is a boiler service?
A regular boiler service is really important for making sure your boiler is operating efficiently and safely.
Our gas safe engineers are trained to the highest standards to effectively service your boiler and keep your home warm. A boiler service involves a number of key checks. One of our gas safe registered engineers will visit your home to carry out the following:
Visual inspection – Our engineers will check for any corrosion, leaks and the boiler flame to make sure it meets the latest boiler standards.
Internal inspection – At this stage, our engineers will remove the casing and make sure all the internal components are operating effectively, such as the spark probe, burner and heat exchanger.
Flue check – Our engineers will then make sure there are no obstructions to the flue terminal and it’s safely fitted.
Boiler controls – We’ll make sure there are no faults with the boiler control system.
Pressure check – Before testing the boiler, we’ll check the boiler is operating at the correct pressure levels.
Working condition – Finally, we’ll make sure the boiler is operating correctly and there are no lingering faults.

Why get your boiler serviced?
There are a number of big benefits to having your boiler properly serviced regularly by Gas Safe registered engineers. This includes:
Safety
This is the most important benefit of having your boiler regularly serviced. Our engineers will check for any critical safety issues, such as carbon monoxide leaks to keep your home safe.
Reduce your bills
An inefficient boiler that isn’t working to optimum standards can use up more fuel, which will hit your pocket. A regular service will make sure your boiler is running efficiently to keep your bills lower.
Future proofing
If you leave boiler issues for too long, it can end up costing you more in repairs. A regular service will allow us to spot any potential faults before they become a bigger issue.
Maintain warranty
Some warranties are only valid if your boiler is regularly serviced by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. Our annual maintenance service will help to keep your boiler warranty valid.
What boilers can you service?
Our engineers are trained to service all types of boiler makes and types, this includes gas, combi and electric boilers, as well as all major brands such as Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal and more.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Ideally, you should get an annual boiler service. The reason for this is that it means your boiler is regularly being maintained and tested, and it helps to keep your boiler warranty valid.
It’s also best to get your boiler serviced during the summer/early autumn months. This will make sure you go into the winter months feeling confident that your home will be heated when the seasons get cooler.
