It’s a planned maintenance visit where the boiler is inspected, tested and cleaned where needed, with clear notes on condition, performance and any actions recommended. ## 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.

Yearly servicing helps maintain safe operation, protects efficiency, and provides a clear maintenance record for your property file. Is a boiler service the same as a Gas Safety Certificate? No. A boiler service is maintenance on the appliance, while a Landlord Gas Safety Record covers safety checks on gas appliances and flues. Many landlords book them together for convenience. How long does a landlord boiler service take? Most appointments take around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the boiler type and condition. If access is restricted or faults are found, it may take longer. What happens if you find a fault during the service? You will be told what has been found, how urgent it is, and what the options are. Minor issues may be addressed on the day if practical, otherwise a repair quote or follow-up visit can be arranged. Do tenants need to be at home for the service? Someone will need to provide access to the boiler and controls, and the area should be clear and well ventilated. If you manage access via an agent or keyholder, this can be arranged in advance.
