A yearly boiler service is one of the best-value things you can do for your home. Our Gas Safe registered engineers give your boiler a proper once-over so it runs safely, uses less gas and is far less likely to break down on a cold morning. We cover homes right across Newcastle Upon Tyne, and every quote is free with no obligation.
It is easy to forget about your boiler until the day it stops working. A yearly service is the simplest way to avoid that, and it pays for itself in three clear ways: safety, lower running costs and fewer surprise breakdowns. Spend a little once a year and you are far less likely to face a big repair bill or a cold house when the weather turns.
Safety comes first. A boiler that is not burning cleanly can produce carbon monoxide, a gas you cannot see or smell that is dangerous to breathe. During a service we check that the flue is clear and the boiler is burning properly, so any fault is caught early rather than after it has become a hazard.
There is a money side too. As a boiler ages, small problems quietly make it work harder and waste gas. Cleaning key parts, checking the gas pressure and making sure everything is set correctly helps it run at its best, which keeps your heating bills down over the year. And because many faults show up as small warning signs long before they stop the boiler altogether, a regular service lets us put them right while they are still cheap and easy to fix.
A service is a proper inspection, not a quick glance. Our Gas Safe engineer works through a set checklist to confirm your boiler is safe and running the way the manufacturer intended. Here is what that involves, in plain terms.
If we spot something that needs attention, we will explain it clearly, tell you whether it needs doing now or can wait, and give you a price before any extra work goes ahead. There are never any surprises on the bill.
For almost every home, once a year is the right answer. An annual service keeps the boiler safe and efficient and matches what nearly all manufacturers ask for. The best time is late summer or early autumn, before the heating is working hard — that way any issue is sorted before you really rely on it, rather than during the first cold snap when engineers are busiest.
If your boiler is older or has given you trouble in the past, keeping to a yearly service is even more worthwhile, because that is when small faults tend to appear. Booking roughly the same time each year is an easy way to make sure it never gets missed.
Most new boilers come with a manufacturer warranty that can run for several years, but it comes with a condition that is easy to overlook: the boiler must be serviced once a year by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with a record to prove it. Miss a service and the manufacturer can refuse a claim, leaving you to pay for a repair that should have been covered.
Every service we carry out includes a dated written record showing the work was done by a Gas Safe engineer. Keep those records together and your warranty stays protected for its full term. It is a small piece of paperwork that can save you a great deal if something ever goes wrong.
For homeowners, an annual service is about peace of mind — a safe, efficient boiler and a warranty that stays intact. For landlords, there is a legal duty on top of that. By law you must have the gas appliances in a rented property checked every year and give your tenant a gas safety record. A service and that annual safety check are closely linked, and we can take care of both in one visit, so you stay compliant and your tenants stay safe.
Whether you own your home or let a property out, we keep booking simple and the visit tidy and respectful. Just tell us the make, model and rough age of the boiler when you get in touch and we will do the rest.
A standard boiler service usually takes somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes. The exact time depends on the age and condition of the boiler and whether anything needs extra cleaning or a closer look. Our engineer will arrive, protect the area around the boiler, carry out the checks and cleaning, and then talk you through what was found before leaving you with your service record.
You do not need to do anything special to prepare, beyond making sure we can reach the boiler. If you have any paperwork from past services or the installation, having it handy is helpful but not essential. When you are ready, fill in the form to book your service and we will arrange a time that suits you.
Once a year is right for nearly every home, ideally before winter so any problem is sorted before you rely on the heating. Annual servicing keeps your boiler safe and efficient and is usually a condition of keeping your manufacturer warranty valid.
