Our Comprehensive Boiler Servicing

Annual Boiler Service

A complete annual service is the foundation of boiler maintenance, including visual inspection of boiler and associated components, gas pressure and flow rate testing, flue and ventilation checks, combustion analysis and efficiency testing, safety device operation verification, controls and thermostat functionality checks, heat exchanger inspection and cleaning, burner examination and adjustment, condensate drain and trap inspection, system pressure and leak detection, and comprehensive safety certification.

Safety Inspections

Safety is our top priority in every service, covering gas tightness testing throughout the system, carbon monoxide testing and leak detection, flue integrity and spillage testing, ventilation adequacy assessment, electrical safety and bonding checks, emergency shut-off device testing, overheat protection verification, pressure relief valve operation, gas valve and controls safety testing, and complete documentation of all safety checks.

Performance Optimisation

We ensure your boiler operates at peak efficiency through combustion analysis and gas rate adjustment, heat exchanger cleaning and descaling, burner maintenance and calibration, controls programming and optimisation, system pressure adjustment, radiator balancing recommendations, efficiency testing and reporting, and identifying opportunities for improved performance.

Preventive Maintenance

Proactive maintenance prevents costly breakdowns including early identification of wear and potential issues, replacement of worn seals and gaskets, cleaning of key components, lubrication of moving parts where applicable, checking and tightening of connections, updating of safety information and labels, and providing maintenance recommendations for optimal operation.
