What’s Included In A Boiler Service?
A typical boiler service takes around 45-60 minutes, depending on the appliance. During your service, we’ll carry out a thorough inspection which may include:
Visual Inspection
We begin by checking the boiler and surrounding pipework for signs of leaks, corrosion, damage or anything that could affect safe operation.
Internal Inspection
Where required, we’ll remove the casing and inspect key internal components for wear, damage or contamination. Any parts requiring cleaning or attention will be identified.
Safety Checks
We’ll test all safety devices and ensure the boiler is operating safely. This includes checking:
- Gas tightness (where applicable)
- Safety controls
- Electrical connections
- Ventilation
- Condensate pipework
- Expansion vessel (where appropriate)
Flue Inspection
The flue safely removes combustion gases from your property. We’ll inspect the flue to ensure:
- It is correctly installed.
- There are no signs of damage.
- It is securely connected.
- It is free from blockages.
Combustion Analysis
Using a calibrated flue gas analyser, we’ll check combustion readings to ensure your boiler is burning fuel safely and efficiently. If adjustments are required, we’ll advise you accordingly.
Boiler Performance Checks
We’ll also check:
- Boiler operating pressure
- Heating performance
- Hot water operation
- Controls and thermostat
- Overall efficiency

Boiler Servicing Questions & Answers
Click on any question below to expand the details.
Many homeowners don’t think about their boiler until it stops working. Unfortunately, by then, a simple issue can often turn into an expensive repair.
A yearly boiler service helps to:
- Keep your family safe by checking for carbon monoxide leaks.
- Reduce the chance of unexpected breakdowns.
- Improve your boiler’s efficiency, helping to lower energy bills.
- Extend the lifespan of your boiler.
- Keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
- Ensure your heating is ready before the colder months arrive.
Just like servicing your car, regular maintenance helps prevent costly problems later on.
Yes.
Even if your boiler appears to be working perfectly, internal components wear over time. Seals deteriorate, combustion settings can drift, and safety devices need checking.
A boiler can continue producing heat while developing faults that could eventually cause poor efficiency, breakdowns or unsafe operation.
A professional annual service ensures everything is operating exactly as it should.
We always recommend having your boiler serviced during the spring or summer.
Why?
- Engineers generally have better availability.
- Any repairs can be completed before winter.
- You’re far less likely to experience a breakdown when the weather turns cold.
- You avoid the autumn rush when everyone suddenly remembers to book their service.
Having your boiler checked before winter means you can switch your heating on with confidence.
Most boiler manufacturers recommend servicing your boiler every 12 months.
If your boiler is still under warranty, missing a yearly service could invalidate the manufacturer’s guarantee.
For landlords, an annual Gas Safety Record is also a legal requirement.
Boiler servicing is one of the most affordable ways to protect your heating system.
Our boiler service includes a full inspection of your appliance by a qualified engineer, helping identify any issues before they become expensive repairs.
