Boiler Servicing

LPG Boiler Service

An LPG boiler service helps keep your heating and hot water running safely and reliably, especially in off gas properties. The visit focuses on preventative maintenance, safety checks and performance testing, so issues are picked up early and your boiler continues to run as it should.

More information

What an LPG boiler service covers

A routine service checks the condition, safety and operation of your LPG fired boiler, with clear feedback at the end. It typically includes:

  • Visual inspection for leaks, damage, corrosion and safe clearances
  • Checks of key components such as seals, electrodes, burner and condensate route (where fitted)
  • Cleaning of accessible parts where required
  • Boiler case seal and flue checks to confirm safe operation
  • Gas rate and operating pressure checks where applicable
  • Combustion analysis and adjustments within manufacturer limits
  • Functional checks of ignition, controls and safety devices
  • Confirmation of correct hot water and heating operation
  • Service record update and practical recommendations

When this service is most useful

  • Your annual service is due and you want dependable day to day operation
  • You rely on LPG in an off gas home and want confidence in safety and performance
  • You are a landlord and need evidence of maintenance alongside gas safety duties
  • The boiler has become noisier, less responsive, or costs seem to be rising
  • You want to reduce the risk of breakdowns during colder months

What happens during the visit

You will be asked about any symptoms, recent faults or control issues. The engineer then isolates and accesses the boiler, carries out safety and combustion tests, and cleans or services components as needed. You will be talked through the results in plain English, with any risks or next steps explained.

After the service

You receive a clear record of what was checked and any work recommended. If parts or repairs are needed, you can decide how to proceed with a straightforward explanation of urgency and options. Annual servicing also supports manufacturer warranty requirements where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should an LPG boiler be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend servicing once a year. Annual checks help keep the boiler safe, reduce the risk of breakdowns, and can highlight wear before it becomes a bigger repair.
Is an LPG boiler service the same as a landlord gas safety check?
No, they are different. A service is maintenance and performance testing, while a landlord gas safety check is a formal safety inspection with certification for rented properties.
Do you need to be Gas Safe registered to service an LPG boiler?
Yes, LPG work must be carried out by an engineer who is Gas Safe registered for LPG. This helps ensure the correct testing, combustion checks and safety procedures are followed.
Will a service make my boiler more efficient?
It can, especially if the boiler is dirty or not burning correctly. Servicing confirms combustion is within safe limits and can help the boiler run more smoothly and consistently.
What if you find a fault or safety issue during the service?
You will be told what has been found and what it means in practical terms. If anything is unsafe, the boiler may need to be switched off until repaired, and your options will be explained clearly.
