Everything you might want to know about boiler servicing
How often should I get my boiler serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend servicing your boiler once a year. It helps keep it safe, efficient, and can reduce the chance of breakdowns.
How long does a boiler service take?
In most homes, a standard service takes around an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the boiler type, location, and condition.
Will a boiler service fix a fault?
A service is mainly for checks, testing, and preventative maintenance. If we find a fault, we’ll explain what’s needed and, where possible, fix minor issues on the spot or quote and book a repair.
Do I need a service to keep my boiler warranty valid?
Often, yes. Many warranties require annual servicing by a qualified engineer and a record of the service. If you’re unsure, we can advise based on your boiler make and model.
Is boiler servicing a legal requirement?
For homeowners it’s not usually a legal requirement, but it is strongly recommended. For landlords, annual gas safety checks are a legal requirement, and a service is often carried out at the same time.
What should I do before the engineer arrives?
Make sure there’s clear access to the boiler, the area is well lit, and (if your boiler is in a cupboard) the space is emptied as much as possible. If you’ve noticed any issues, let us know when we arrive.
