It is also when small faults get found: the ones that would otherwise become a breakdown on the coldest weekend of the year.

We check the gas rate and operating pressures, inspect and clean the components the manufacturer specifies, check combustion and the flue, look over the condensate, seals and safety devices, check the system pressure and the expansion vessel, and test that the controls do what they are supposed to. It is also the one visit each year where somebody qualified looks at your heating with nothing broken. That is when a weeping joint, a tired vessel or a boiler starting to kettle gets picked up, while it is still an easy fix rather than a January breakdown. Boiler servicing starts from £90 + VAT with parts extra. If anything needs attention, you are told what it is and given a fixed price before anything is done, so there is never a bill you did not agree to. ### Who it is for Homeowners keeping a manufacturer warranty valid, and landlords across Epping, Harlow, Ware and the surrounding towns keeping appliances maintained and safe. ### How often Once a year for almost every boiler. Most manufacturer warranties require it, and autumn is the sensible time, before the heating is under full load. ### What it protects Your warranty cover, your running costs, the life of the appliance, and the safety of everyone in the house. Left as it is ## What skipping the service actually risks A service feels easy to postpone because nothing has gone wrong yet. That is precisely the point of it, and the cost of skipping it lands all at once. ### The manufacturer warranty lapses Warranties of 5 to 12 years typically require an annual service with the record to prove it. Miss it and an expensive repair that should have been covered becomes yours to pay for. ### Breakdowns happen at the worst time Boilers fail when demand is highest, which is mid-winter. A service is when the developing fault gets caught while the house is still warm. ### Running costs creep up quietly A boiler that is not burning efficiently, or a system full of sludge, uses more gas for the same heat. You pay for it every single month without seeing why. ### Safety problems go unnoticed Flue, seal and combustion issues are not things you can see or smell from the kitchen. They are exactly what a Gas Safe registered engineer is checking for. ### Common mistakes we are called out to - Skipping the service in the year after installation, which is often when the warranty condition first bites - Assuming a boiler that is working does not need checking - Booking a quick visual check with no gas rate, combustion or flue testing and calling it a service - Letting someone who is not Gas Safe registered work on a gas appliance - Leaving the service until the boiler has already broken down ## Our process, from first call to guarantee 01 ### Book at a time that suits Call 07885 871508 or send an enquiry. Servicing is a short visit and is normally fitted in sooner than larger jobs. 02 ### Appliance checks Gas rate and operating pressures checked, components inspected and cleaned to the manufacturer's requirements, and seals and safety devices examined. 03 ### Combustion, flue and condensate Combustion tested, the flue inspected and terminations checked, and the condensate run looked over so it will not freeze or back up in cold weather. 04 ### System checks System pressure, expansion vessel and controls checked, and the heating tested to make sure it responds as it should. 05 ### Findings explained You are told what is in good order and what is wearing. Anything needing work is quoted as a fixed price first, with parts extra and nothing done without your say-so. 06 ### Record for your warranty The service is recorded so your manufacturer warranty stays valid, and we will tell you when the next one is due. What you get ## The practical difference on your job ### From £90 + VAT, parts extra A clear starting price, given up front. Anything beyond the service itself is quoted as a fixed price before it is carried out. ### Keeps your warranty alive Manufacturer warranties of 5 to 12 years usually depend on an annual service. This is what keeps the cover you paid for in place. ### Faults caught early Small problems found in autumn are cheap. The same problems found in January, with no heating, are not. ### Gas Safe registered checks Gas Safe 17648, ACS qualified, £2 million public liability insurance, and combustion and flue checks done properly. ### All brands on natural gas We service all boiler brands running on natural gas. We do not work on LPG. ### The same two people each year Neil and Sam attend, so whoever services your boiler already knows the system and what it looked like last time. In detail ## Getting the most from an annual service A service is a checkpoint for the whole heating system, not just a box tick on the appliance. These are the things worth understanding about it. ### Service, safety check and CP12 A service and a landlord gas safety check are not the same thing. A service is a maintenance visit on the appliance; a safety check confirms appliances are safe at that point in time. If you are a landlord, tell us what you need when you book and we will confirm exactly what the visit covers before you commit to it. ### Why timing matters Autumn is the best time to service a boiler. The heating has been idle over summer, and any fault that developed will show up under load in the weeks that follow. Servicing before the cold arrives means a repair, if one is needed, happens with the house still warm and the parts still available. ### Water quality and system filters Most of what shortens a boiler's life comes from the water inside the system: sludge, scale and corrosion products circulating through the heat exchanger and pump. A service is the natural point to check inhibitor levels and the system filter. If the system needs cleaning and treating, we will tell you and price it separately rather than folding surprises into the bill. ### New boiler owners If we installed your boiler, the annual service is what keeps both the manufacturer warranty and your cover intact, alongside our own 10-year guarantee on labour and pipework. If somebody else installed it, we will still service it. All boiler brands on natural gas are covered, whoever fitted them.
