Annual Boiler Service

Gas and oil appliances need regular servicing for three reasons: your safety, running efficiently, and because most manufacturers make it a condition of the warranty. It's also a legal requirement if you're a landlord. See our landlord gas safety certificates page for what that involves.

What we service

• Gas boilers: combi, system, conventional, back boilers and condensing boilers
• Oil boilers: pressure jet boilers, all major makes
• Gas fires: decorative, radiant and convector
• Water heaters: single and multi-point
• Cookers: hobs, free-standing and built-in

What a full service covers, step by step

• Visual inspection of the appliance, flue and surrounding area for signs of a fault
• Checking the burner and flame picture: a healthy blue flame, not yellow or irregular
• Testing the gas or oil supply pressure against the manufacturer's specification
• Checking the flue and ventilation are clear and drawing correctly
• Testing safety devices: flame failure, pilot mechanism and lockout function
• Checking system pressure and, where relevant, the expansion vessel
• A general condition check of casings, seals and pipework
• Issuing your service record and, where applicable, your safety certificate

Pricing

A single boiler service is priced as a fixed call-out, and we'll confirm the exact figure when you book. That fixed price covers the standard service. If we find a fault during the visit, a seal needs replacing, or the job needs a specific manufacturer kit, that's quoted separately as an extra charge before we carry out any further work. It's often cheaper to combine a service with your annual landlord safety certificate if you need both.
