Boiler service

What’s Actually Included in an Annual Boiler Service?

‘Boiler service’ can mean very different things depending on who does it. Here’s what a thorough one actually involves, so you know whether you’re getting your money’s worth.

At a glance

  • A real service includes visual, operational and safety checks — not just a glance.
  • Flue gas analysis and a check for leaks and correct combustion are key.
  • A proper service takes time — a ten-minute ‘service’ is a red flag.
  • It keeps the boiler safe, efficient and the warranty valid.

What a proper service covers

We check the boiler is operating safely and efficiently: inspecting the main components, running flue gas analysis to confirm correct combustion, cleaning key parts, replacing the burner seal where needed, and checking the system for water or gas leaks — then confirming it’s running as it should.

How long it should take

Done properly, a service takes a fair bit longer than most people expect — there are real checks and cleaning involved, not just a visual once-over.

Red flags of a rushed service

If someone’s in and out in ten minutes with no analyser and no cover off, you haven’t had a service — you’ve had a look. That won’t satisfy a warranty and won’t catch a developing fault.

What it costs

Our boiler service starts from £80 + VAT, with any parts agreed with you first. It keeps your warranty valid and helps catch small issues before they become breakdowns.
