More information
What a landlord boiler service covers
A service is designed to reduce breakdown risk, confirm safe operation and give you a clear maintenance record for your property file. It typically includes:
- Visual inspection for leaks, corrosion and signs of overheating
- Checks of key safety devices and boiler controls
- Flue and combustion checks (where applicable) to confirm correct operation
- Cleaning of components as required (for example, burners and condensate traps)
- System pressure and basic performance checks
- Identification of worn parts or developing faults before they cause a call-out
- A written service record with findings and recommendations
Best suited to
This service is ideal if you:
- Manage one or more rental properties and want dependable heating for tenants
- Need a documented maintenance routine for compliance and insurance support
- Have had repeat boiler issues and want a professional condition check
- Are planning a tenancy changeover and want the boiler checked before move-in
How the service is delivered
You can book servicing around tenant availability, with access arranged in advance. The engineer will inspect the boiler, carry out operational and safety checks, and complete combustion analysis where appropriate. Gas boilers must be serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and oil appliances require the correct qualification.
After the service
You will receive a clear record of what was checked, any risks identified, and what to do next. If remedial work is recommended, you can choose to proceed with repairs, plan replacement parts, or schedule a follow-up visit to keep the property heating dependable.
