What happens on the day
You book a convenient time, then the engineer carries out a structured set of checks and tests. Where cleaning or minor adjustments are needed to restore correct operation, these are completed as part of the service where possible. If a fault or failing part is identified, you will be told what it is, what it means, and what your options are before any extra work is carried out.
After your service
You receive a clear summary of findings and any recommendations, prioritised by safety and reliability. If repairs are advised, you can choose to schedule them to suit you, with transparent next steps. Regular servicing also helps you track boiler condition over time and plan maintenance before it becomes urgent.
