Servicing your conventional or combi boiler annually is vital for the safety of your family and to ensure all your heating and hot water needs are met in an efficient, reliable manner. You can trust our team of trained professionals to handle this task efficiently and effectively.
This is what our comprehensive boiler service entails.
- Our first step is to visually inspect your appliance for leaks, corrosion, and other problems.
- We take the burner apart to examine it. We will check it for any cracks and defects. In addition, we will clean the burner and replace the seal before putting it back in place.
- Our technicians will take care of your boiler’s main components. We will remove any debris from the heat exchanger, as well as clean properly the condensate trap and magnetic filter.
- We will also check the condensate system to make sure no leaks are present. The boiler’s ventilation system will also be examined.
- We will evaluate the water quality and perform flue gas analysis to ensure your boiler is operating at its optimal level.
- We will also do all of the gas safety checks so you can rest assured that you and your family are secure.

If you think there is something wrong with your boiler and it needs to be checked quickly by a specialist then you can take advantage of our one-off boiler service.

During our boiler servicing process, we will make sure that your boiler is running safely and as efficiently as it should.
