  • You want reassurance ahead of winter or before moving in or out of a property.

What happens during the visit

The engineer will check the boiler’s condition, safety devices, and operation, then carry out performance tests and any appropriate cleaning. They will also complete a basic system check to spot common issues that affect heating performance. If any problems are found, you will be told what is urgent, what can be planned, and what it is likely to involve.

After the service

You will receive a clear summary of what was checked and the results. If repairs or improvements are recommended, you can choose to book follow-up work with a straightforward explanation of options and likely timescales. Regular servicing also helps you track changes year to year and deal with issues before they become costly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I book a boiler service with system check?
Most homes benefit from an annual boiler service to maintain safe, efficient operation. A yearly visit also helps spot small system issues, such as pressure loss or poor circulation, before they cause a breakdown.
What is the difference between a boiler service and a system check?
A boiler service focuses on the boiler’s safety, condition, and performance. A system check adds basic checks of key heating system components, helping identify issues that may affect heat delivery and reliability.
How long does the appointment usually take?
Most services are completed within one to two hours, depending on access and the boiler type. If faults are discovered, the engineer will explain what can be done on the day and what may need a follow-up visit.
Do I need to do anything before the engineer arrives?
Please make sure the boiler and nearby pipework are accessible and that you can demonstrate any issues you have noticed. If you have the boiler manual or previous service records, having them to hand can also help.
Will this service help with boiler warranty or landlord compliance?
Many manufacturers require regular servicing to support warranty terms, so keeping a service record is useful. For landlord requirements, ask in advance what documentation you need so the correct checks and paperwork can be provided.
