Upfront cost — no obligation A proper boiler service is more than a quick look. Here is exactly what our Gas Safe registered engineers do during a standard service, what the more thorough full strip-clean adds, and what you should receive at the end.
What a standard boiler service covers
During a standard service we carry out a visual inspection of the boiler and its installation, checking for corrosion, leaks and wear; remove the casing to inspect the internal components; check gas pressure and flow so the boiler burns correctly; and run a flue gas analysis to confirm safe, efficient combustion. We test the safety devices and controls, check and clear the condensate pipe if needed, and check the seals and overall condition. If anything needs attention we explain it clearly and quote before doing any extra work.

What a full strip-clean adds
A full strip-clean service goes much further for boilers that need it. We strip down the key components and clean them properly, and typically replace the combustion chamber seals and the ignition or flame electrode, recharge the expansion vessel, and clean the heat exchanger. It restores performance on older or neglected boilers that a standard service alone cannot. Because the work depends on the make and model, we price it individually.

What you get at the end
On completion we confirm the boiler is running safely and efficiently and give you a service record documenting the checks carried out. Keep this safe — it is your proof of servicing for a manufacturer’s warranty, and for landlords it sits alongside (but is separate from) your Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12).

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a boiler service include a flue gas analysis?
Yes — checking combustion with a flue gas analyser is part of our service to confirm the boiler is burning safely and efficiently.
Do you clean the magnetic filter during a service?
We check it and clean it where needed. Heavy sludge can indicate the system water needs attention, which we will advise on.
Is a boiler service the same as a gas safety certificate?
No. A service checks the boiler's safety and efficiency; a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) is a separate legal record for rental properties. We can do both in one visit.
What do I receive after a service?
A service record documenting the checks carried out — keep it as proof for your warranty.
