What Is a Boiler Service and Why Does It Matter?
A boiler service is a comprehensive annual inspection and clean of your boiler carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Unlike a repair, a service is carried out proactively — before anything goes wrong. The engineer checks every key component, cleans parts where necessary, tests safety devices, and confirms the boiler is operating safely and efficiently.
Most boiler manufacturers require an annual service to keep the warranty valid. A boiler that hasn’t been serviced can run inefficiently — costing significantly more in energy bills — and is far more likely to break down unexpectedly. Catching a small issue during a service costs a fraction of what an emergency repair or full boiler replacement would.
For landlords, keeping a boiler properly maintained is both a legal duty of care and a condition of most landlord insurance policies.
What’s Included in Our Boiler Service
Our Gas Safe registered engineer carries out a full inspection and functional test of your boiler in line with manufacturer guidelines. Every item is checked, cleaned where required, and recorded on your service document.
Visual Inspection
External check of the boiler casing, controls, and pipework for signs of corrosion, leaks, or damage. The engineer will also check the boiler’s installation position and clearances are correct.
Flue & Combustion Check
The flue is inspected for blockages, damage, and correct termination. A flue gas analysis is carried out to confirm the boiler is burning gas cleanly and efficiently — a critical safety check for carbon monoxide risk.
Internal Components
Inspection and clean of internal components including the heat exchanger, burner, spark electrode, and condensate trap. Parts are cleaned in situ where accessible, and any signs of premature wear are noted and reported.
Gas Pressure & Flow Rate
Gas inlet pressure and burner pressure are measured and confirmed to be within the manufacturer’s specified range. Incorrect gas pressure is a common cause of inefficiency and premature component failure.
Safety Devices
Testing of all safety controls including the overheat thermostat, pressure relief valve, and any other fitted safety devices. All results are confirmed and recorded on your service document.
System Checks
Where accessible, the engineer will check system water pressure, the expansion vessel, and bleed radiators if required. Inhibitor levels will be assessed and top-up recommended if necessary.
