A service is the cheapest hour anyone spends on a boiler, and it is the one most often skipped until something breaks. In Kings Hill most of the housing is estate-built with combis fitted in the last two decades, and those boilers are now at the age where the difference between a serviced one and a neglected one starts to show in breakdowns.

A real service is not a visual check and a sticker. The case comes off, the burner and heat exchanger are inspected and cleaned, the seals and electrodes are checked, the gas rate and pressures are measured, the flue gases are read with an analyser, and the safety devices are tested. Anything wearing out is found while it is still cheap.

You get told what was checked and what the readings were, so you can see what changed since last year rather than taking it on trust. If you ever smell gas, get out of the house, leave the switches alone and ring the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 from outside.

What's involved

Boiler Servicing in Darlaston, done properly

Case off, properly cleaned

Burner, heat exchanger and condensate trap. A service with the case left on is not a service.

Gas rate and pressures measured

Written down, so next year's reading means something.

Flue gases analysed

Combustion read with an analyser to confirm the boiler is burning cleanly and safely.

Safety devices tested

Flame supervision, overheat protection and the pressure relief all checked, not assumed.

Filter emptied

If there is a magnetic filter, it is cleaned out. That is the point of having one.

Guarantee kept alive

Most manufacturers require an annual service. Missing one can cost you the rest of the guarantee.

Good to know

Boiler Servicing — your questions

How long does a service take?

Around an hour for a straightforward combi, longer if the boiler is dirty or something needs attention.

Does servicing really prevent breakdowns?

It catches worn electrodes, blocked condensate traps and failing seals while they are small. Most winter breakdowns were visible at the previous service.

Do I still need it if the boiler seems fine?

Yes, both for safety and to keep the guarantee valid. A boiler can be unsafe while appearing to run perfectly.

When is the best time of year?

Late summer or early autumn, before the heating goes on properly and before everyone else is calling.

Do you service older boilers?

Yes, including back boilers, provided parts are still available if anything is needed.

What do I get afterwards?

A record of what was checked and the readings taken, plus anything to keep an eye on.
