What’s Included in a Service
When I service your boiler, I carry out a full inspection:
- Visual inspection – Checking for any signs of damage, corrosion, or leaks
- Flue gas analysis – Testing combustion efficiency and emissions
- Gas pressure checks – Ensuring correct operating pressure
- Heat exchanger inspection – Looking for any blockages or damage
- Burner cleaning – Removing any debris that could affect performance
- Ignition system check – Testing the electrode and spark
- Safety device testing – Verifying all safety cutoffs work correctly
- Seals and gaskets – Checking for wear and replacing if needed
- Condensate trap – Cleaning to prevent blockages
- System pressure check – Topping up if necessary
After the service, I’ll provide you with a service record and let you know if I’ve spotted anything that needs attention.
Why Service Your Boiler Annually?
Prevent breakdowns. Most boiler breakdowns I attend could have been prevented with regular servicing. Small issues caught early don’t become big (expensive) problems.
Maintain efficiency. A poorly maintained boiler uses more gas. A simple service can improve efficiency and reduce your energy bills.
Stay safe. Gas boilers produce carbon monoxide – a deadly gas you can’t see or smell. Regular servicing ensures your boiler is burning safely.
Keep your warranty valid. Most manufacturers require annual servicing to maintain your warranty. I’ll give you proof of service for your records.
Landlord certificates. If you’re a landlord, you’re legally required to have an annual gas safety check. A service covers this requirement.
Fair, Fixed Pricing
A standard boiler service is £120 inc VAT. If you want the full service — a more thorough inspection with a deep clean of internal components — it’s £265 inc VAT. If you also have an unvented hot water cylinder, I can service both together for £180 inc VAT. All prices are listed at thamesboilers.co.uk/prices. No hidden extras, no pressure to buy parts you don’t need.
