About boiler servicing

Boiler servicing is an annual check to confirm your boiler is running safely and efficiently, and it's worth having whatever the age of the boiler. It's a routine, planned visit rather than a response to a fault, which is what separates it from a repair call-out, and it's the check that catches small problems before they turn into a breakdown in the middle of winter.

The visit covers a visual inspection of the boiler and its flue, the casing removed to check internal components like the heat exchanger and burner, gas pressure and burner performance checked, and a flue gas analysis to confirm the boiler is combusting safely. Ventilation and the condensate pipe are checked too, since a blocked condensate pipe is a common cause of winter breakdowns.

Regular servicing matters for two reasons: it catches minor wear, such as a component starting to fail, before it causes a breakdown, and it confirms the boiler is producing carbon monoxide safely, which you can't judge just by how the boiler sounds or looks. Many manufacturers also expect an annual service as a condition of their warranty terms, which is worth checking in your boiler's own documentation.

On the day, we carry out the full check, record the results in the Benchmark log or service record, and flag anything that needs attention with straightforward advice on next steps rather than an automatic upsell. We service boilers across Romford and Havering for homeowners and landlords alike, and keeping a full history of services is also useful if you come to sell the property later.

Boiler Service · Checkatrade review, RM13
“Dan helped us out with our boiler which wasn’t a straight forward job and managed to get it sorted with no fuss despite needing 3 seperate call outs. Honest and reliable company that provided value for money parts and services. Would recommend!”
Boiler Service · Checkatrade review, RM3
“From phoning Dan he arrived within 15 minutes of my call as was in the area. He had a good look at the problem and was able to tell me what he would do to remedy the situation. He came round next morning and even though there was a considerable amount of earth to be dug out and some obstacles under the floorboards he was able to complete the job in a day and get the earth backfilled. So pleased with the outcome. Dan would be my first person to go to for any water related , or gas and boiler related problem. Cannot praise him enough.”

Boiler Servicing questions

Clear answers to your most common plumbing concerns.

How often should I service my boiler?

Manufacturers recommend an annual service to maintain safety and warranty validity.

What happens if I don't get my boiler serviced every year?

Nothing happens immediately, but minor wear that would have been caught early can develop into a breakdown, and you lose the ongoing record that many manufacturers ask for to keep warranty terms valid. It also means any carbon monoxide risk from incomplete combustion could go unnoticed for longer.

Does a boiler service include a Gas Safety Certificate?

A boiler service checks the appliance itself and is recorded in the Benchmark log. A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is a separate legal document landlords need, covering all gas appliances in the property, though both can often be arranged on the same visit.

Can a service pick up a fault before the boiler breaks down?

Often, yes. Things like a weakening pump, a part starting to corrode, or burner performance drifting out of spec are exactly what a service is designed to catch, before they cause a no-heat call-out in the middle of winter when it's least convenient and hardest to get sorted quickly.

Do landlords need an annual boiler service by law?

Landlords are legally required to have gas appliances checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer and to hold a current Gas Safety record for the property, which they must give tenants a copy of. A boiler service is usually carried out alongside this check on the same visit.

Is a boiler service different from a boiler repair?

Yes. A service is a planned annual check to confirm everything is running safely, with no assumption anything is wrong. A repair is a response to an existing fault, like no heating or an error code, and is a separate visit and job.
