What Happens In A Boiler Service?


During a boiler service, your gas Safe engineer will check all the components of your boiler to make sure they are safe and working properly. They will remove and clean parts, including the main burner, ignition pins, heat exchanger, and more. They will check for any signs of problems or any build-ups to make sure your boiler and central heating will run when you need it most.


  • Check all thermostat and boiler controls
  • Check for spillage and leaks
  • Inspect the flue and gas test it
  • Carry out safety checks 
  • Check all radiators
  • Carry out gas rating test 
  • Check working pressure & system pressure
  • Clean out system filters and taps
  • Talk with you about any additional work or repairs recommended


The same process will happen every year for your annual boiler service, whether it's a domestic home or a commercial property. Your Gas Safe engineer will check over your boiler and heat system to make sure that your heating and hot water will work properly and safely when you turn it on.

These services and checks will make sure that all the parts of your boiler are clean and well maintained, which should reduce the chance of them breaking and causing issues with your boiler. 

FAQ's

  • How Often Should You Have Your Home Boiler Serviced?

    Boilers are an essential part of your house so it is extremely important that they are constantly checked and verified to see if they are in working order. Waiting too long between a boiler service could lead to carbon monoxide leaks and an increased repair cost.


    Ideally, you will want to get an annual boiler service, so every 12 months, when possible. Waiting too long can lead to more harm than good and cost you a lot more in the future. Our boiler engineers can take care of any boiler service for you. We offer the best prices in London so get in touch to get a quote today!



  • How much does a boiler service cost?

    This depends entirely on what you need to do and how long the annual boiler service will take. Here at Tradeforce, we will try to find a price that works for you. London can be an expensive place to live, but it doesn't have to be. This is why we start our servicing charges at £90 + V.A.T.


    A typical service charge in London will cost you anywhere between £100 to £200 + V.A.T. If you are at all worried about the cost of hiring our gas safe registered boiler engineers, then please get in touch. We are more than happy to work with you to find a price that suits your needs!

  • How do you maintain a gas boiler?

    Outside of an annual boiler service, there are a few suggestions you should consider to ensure your gas boiler is in working order for years to come. The first one is to make sure you are regularly turning your heating on. This is so the water in the pipes is at a decent temperature and will not freeze over during the winter.


    You will also want to check the pressure of your boiler frequently to check that it is within the required range.


    If your boiler pressure is slightly off, your radiators may not switch on during the winter - Which isn't ideal for anyone. One of the best ways to maintain pressure is to bleed your radiators, then check the pressure gauge on your boiler. You can easily adjust it using the valve to keep your heating on!

  • What is the life expectancy of an average household boiler?

    A typical household boiler should last anywhere between 15 and 20 years. But this can change depending on how well it is maintained. A poorly maintained central heating system will not last as long as one that is frequently serviced - which is why it is important that you get an annual service from a gas safe registered engineer.


    The more time you wait between services, then the less time your heater will last, leading to higher costs in the long run. A brand new heater can be extremely expensive to install, so maintaining the one you have is the best way to cut down on costs. We offer a service you can trust, so give us a call to get all the central heating system help you could need.

  • Can You Service A Boiler Yourself?

    You should not attempt to service a boiler yourself under any circumstances. Only registered, Gas Safe engineers should make any repairs or work on your boiler. Boilers can be extremely dangerous and faulty repairs or tampering can pose a health hazard to you and anyone living in your house too.


    Gas safety is important for you and your family. Attempting to fix your boiler or alter its controls can affect not only how it works and how energy efficient it is, but also how safe it is. Carbon monoxide is a real hazard that can be fatal. On a lesser note, tampering with your boiler is also likely to invalidate any warranty cover you have on your boiler, and even affect your home insurance cover. 

  • What Happens If You Don't Service Your Boiler?

    If you don't give your boiler an annual service, you might end up spending more money than you have saved with service costs. 


    Boilers that go unserviced are typically more prone to breakdowns and problems. You may find yourself without heating when you need it and so are paying extra money to get your boiler fixed even though it was fixed not long ago. 


    You may also void any manufacturer's warranty if you don't service your boiler, and you may run the risk of invalidating your home insurance cover too, so having your boiler serviced is more important than you might have first thought.


    • Invalid insurance cover
    • Void manufacturer's warranty
    • More breakdowns
    • More repair costs
    • Unsafe boiler

    If you want to have your boiler serviced in London, contact us today. We will book you in for domestic and commercial services as quickly as possible with a Gas Safe engineer. You will always know where you stand as our engineers will be 100% honest as they work.
