Why annual servicing matters
Maintain warranty
Most manufacturers require annual servicing to keep your warranty valid.
Improve efficiency
A well-serviced boiler runs more efficiently, reducing your energy bills.
Prevent breakdowns
Regular servicing catches small issues before they become costly repairs.
Stay safe
We check for carbon monoxide leaks and other safety hazards.
We test before we take it apart
A condensing boiler tells you a lot through its flue. Every service starts with combustion readings from a calibrated flue gas analyser, and those readings decide whether the burner and heat exchanger need to come out for cleaning. Taking a healthy boiler apart every year adds time and cost for no benefit.
- Flue gas analysis first, on every service
- Burner and heat exchanger cleaned when the readings call for it
- Readings and findings written up in your service report
Don't wait for the service if you see these
Carbon monoxide alarm sounding
Turn the boiler off, open the windows, get everyone outside and call the gas emergency line on 0800 111 999.
Soot or staining around the boiler
Brown or black marks on the casing or around the flue are a sign of poor combustion. Switch it off and call us.
Pressure keeps dropping
Topping up more than once or twice a year points to a leak or a failing expansion vessel.
Noisy or slow to heat
Banging, kettling, or radiators that take longer to warm often mean sludge or scale is building up.
Gas bills creeping up
A boiler that has drifted out of adjustment burns more gas for the same heat.

No. A gas safety check, the CP12 that landlords need every year, confirms that appliances, flues and pipework are safe to use. A service goes further, cleaning and adjusting the boiler so it runs efficiently and keeps its warranty. Landlords often book both in the same visit.
