Signs you need boiler servicing

1

It has been over 12 months since your last service

Boiler manufacturers require an annual service to keep your warranty valid. Missing a service can void your warranty and leave you liable for repair costs.

2

Your boiler is making unusual noises

Gurgling, banging or whistling sounds indicate limescale, air in the system or a failing component. A service identifies and resolves the cause before it leads to a breakdown.

3

Heating takes longer to warm up

If your radiators are slow to heat or never reach full temperature, your boiler may need cleaning or adjustment. A service restores efficient operation.

4

Your energy bills are increasing

A boiler losing efficiency uses more gas to produce the same heat. A service cleans and calibrates the burner to restore optimal combustion efficiency.

5

The pilot light keeps going out

A pilot light that frequently extinguishes suggests a faulty thermocouple, gas valve or draft issue. A service diagnoses and resolves the fault safely.

What affects the cost of boiler servicing

We believe in transparent pricing. Here are the factors that influence the cost of your job.

Boiler type

A standard gas combi, system or regular boiler service is a fixed price. Oil boilers require a different process and specialist parts, so the cost is slightly higher.

Additional repairs

If the service reveals a worn component that needs replacing, we provide a clear, upfront quote before carrying out any additional work. You are never charged for repairs without prior agreement.

Location and access

Boilers in difficult to access locations, such as lofts or cupboards, may take longer to service. We always confirm the price before booking the appointment.

Every job is different, so we always provide a free, no obligation quote before any work begins. Call us on 07391 779 712 or fill in our contact form to arrange your estimate.

Boiler Servicing in Fordingbridge

Our engineers carry the specialist flue gas analysers and combustion testing equipment needed to service the full range of boilers found in homes from Ringwood to Salisbury.

Boiler Servicing FAQs

How often should I service my boiler?

Boiler manufacturers recommend an annual service to keep the appliance safe, efficient and under warranty. We will send a reminder when your next service is due.

How long does a boiler service take?

A standard gas boiler service takes around 45 to 60 minutes. If we find any issues that need attention, we will always explain them before carrying out any further work.

Do you service all boiler brands?

Yes. We service Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Viessmann and most other common gas boiler brands across Fordingbridge and the surrounding area.

Will a boiler service invalidate my warranty?

No. In fact, the opposite is true. An annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer is required to keep your manufacturer warranty valid. We provide a written service record that you can use as proof of maintenance.

Can I service my own boiler?

No. It is illegal for anyone other than a Gas Safe registered engineer to carry out work on a gas boiler. DIY servicing is dangerous and will invalidate your warranty and home insurance. Always use a registered professional.

What happens if the service finds a fault?

If we find a fault during the service, we explain the issue clearly and provide a written quote for the repair. We never carry out additional work without your prior agreement, so there are no surprise charges.

Do you send a reminder when my next service is due?

Yes. We offer a free annual reminder service so you never miss your boiler service. We will contact you when your service is due, keeping your warranty valid and your boiler running safely.
