Boiler Service (Pre-Winter)

What a pre-winter boiler service covers

A thorough service focuses on safe operation, dependable performance, and early fault detection before your boiler is under peak winter demand.

• Visual inspection of the boiler, flue and key safety components
• Checks for correct operation, pressure and controls
• Cleaning of accessible parts where required
• Combustion analysis and performance checks (where applicable)
• Identification of wear, leaks, corrosion, or signs of unsafe operation
• Clear summary of findings and any recommended next steps

When this service is most useful

• You rely on your boiler daily and want to lower the risk of winter call-outs.
• Your boiler has been noisier than usual, slower to heat, or needs topping up.
• You are a landlord arranging routine maintenance ahead of the heating season.
• You have recently moved in and want confidence in the system you inherited.

How the appointment works

The engineer will carry out a structured set of checks, then confirm results and answer questions in plain English. Where any concerns are found, you will get a clear explanation of urgency, options, and likely outcomes before any further work is booked. Servicing is carried out by appropriately qualified engineers for gas (Gas Safe) or oil (OFTEC) appliances.

After the service

You will receive a straightforward summary of what was checked and what, if anything, should be addressed next. If improvements are recommended, you can choose whether to proceed with repairs now or plan them in, before winter demand increases. Keeping up with servicing also helps you track performance over time and spot gradual changes early.
