Boiler Service After Repair

What a boiler service after repair covers

Once the boiler is back up and running, this service focuses on proving correct operation and reducing the risk of follow-on faults.

• Safety checks and visual inspection of the appliance and flue
• Checking key components affected by the fault and repair
• Cleaning of accessible parts where needed
• Combustion analysis and performance checks (where applicable)
• Testing boiler controls and safe shutdown operation
• Checks for leaks, correct pressure, and stable ignition
• Clear findings, with any recommendations explained in plain English

When this service is the right choice

This is most useful when:

• The boiler has just been repaired and you want reassurance it is operating safely
• The fault caused lockouts, burning smells, noisy running, or repeated pressure loss
• You are responsible for a property and want a documented maintenance step after a breakdown
• You want to reduce the chance of a call-back by catching smaller issues early

What happens on the day

The engineer will confirm what was repaired, then carry out a structured service and test sequence. For gas appliances this should be completed by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer, and for oil by an appropriately qualified oil engineer. You will be talked through the results and any limitations, for example if access is restricted or parts are not serviceable.

After the visit: records and next steps

You will receive a clear summary of what was checked and the outcome. If any further work is recommended, you will be advised on priority, options, and likely impact if left. This helps you plan maintenance and avoid repeat disruption.
