Boiler Servicing

Regular Boiler Service

A regular boiler service is a practical way to check your boiler is running safely and efficiently when you want reassurance outside the usual annual schedule. It helps reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns, highlights developing faults early, and confirms your heating system is operating as it should.

More information

What the service covers

A regular boiler service focuses on safe operation, clean combustion, and reliable performance. Where applicable to your boiler type and installation, it includes:

  • Visual safety checks of the boiler, flue, seals and ventilation
  • Inspection of key internal components for wear, damage or leaks
  • Cleaning of parts where required to support efficient operation
  • Combustion analysis and checks to confirm correct burning and safe readings
  • Operational checks of controls and boiler settings
  • System pressure and basic performance checks
  • Clear feedback on condition, risks, and any recommended remedial work

When a regular boiler service is the right choice

This service is ideal if you want confidence in your heating between routine intervals, or if something feels slightly off but the boiler is still running. Common reasons include:

  • You have moved into a property and want a baseline condition check
  • You have noticed unusual noises, cycling, or reduced heating performance
  • You want to support efficiency and reduce avoidable call-outs
  • You manage a rental or small commercial property and need reliable heating

What to expect during the visit

Your engineer will start with basic safety and visual checks, then inspect internal components and test operation. Cleaning is carried out where needed, followed by combustion testing to confirm safe, correct performance. Before finishing, you will get a plain-English summary of what was checked, what was found, and what to do next.

After the service

You will receive a service record and clear notes on any issues identified, with recommendations prioritised by safety and urgency. If repairs or adjustments are advised, you can decide whether to proceed straight away or plan the work for a later date. Regular servicing also helps you track boiler condition over time, making future maintenance more predictable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this different from an annual boiler service?
It covers the same core safety and performance checks, but it is booked outside the usual annual schedule. It is useful when you want reassurance sooner or have concerns you would like checked.
How long does a regular boiler service take?
Most services take around 45 to 90 minutes, depending on boiler type, access, and condition. If faults are found or parts need extra cleaning, it can take longer.
Do you service gas and oil boilers?
Yes, gas and oil boilers can be serviced, provided the attending engineer holds the correct qualifications for that fuel type. Share your boiler make and model when booking so the right engineer attends.
Will I receive a certificate or service record?
You will receive a service record with key results and any recommendations. If you need a landlord gas safety certificate, that is a separate visit and should be booked as a specific service.
What happens if the engineer finds a fault or safety issue?
You will be told what the issue is, how serious it is, and what options you have to fix it. If something is unsafe, the engineer will explain the next steps and may need to isolate the appliance for safety.
