Service overview
What a real annual boiler service involves
A boiler service is the cheapest insurance a homeowner buys all year — but only when it's done properly. A box-ticking 'visual check' is not a service: it doesn't catch the silent faults that turn into a January breakdown, and it won't satisfy the manufacturer if you ever need to claim on the warranty.
What it is
A full annual gas boiler service to manufacturer specification — burner and heat exchanger inspected, seals checked, condensate trap cleaned, gas-rate measured, full combustion analysis with a calibrated flue gas analyser, controls tested, and a benchmark / service record signed and filed.
Who it's for
Homeowners and landlords across Scunthorpe, Brigg, Messingham, Scotter, Kirton Lindsey, Barton-upon-Humber, Hull, Grimsby and Doncaster who want to keep their warranty valid, catch faults early, and run the system efficiently through winter.
When it's needed
Once a year, every year — typically in the same calendar month each year. Manufacturer warranties on Ideal, Baxi and Worcester require an annual service to remain valid. Landlords also need an annual gas safety check (CP12) on top, often booked together.
Why a professional matters
An unserviced boiler runs less efficiently, fails more often, and silently invalidates the manufacturer warranty. The price of one missed service is typically smaller than the price of one PCB replacement on a 6-year-old boiler that the manufacturer would have covered.
What goes wrong
What we find on first services for new customers
When someone rings because their last engineer 'wasn't bothering' anymore, here's what we usually find:
Condensate trap full of sludge
Never cleared in years of 'services'. Eventually blocks, water backs up, boiler locks out — almost always on a Friday night.
Combustion never analysed
No flue gas analyser used means no proof the gas-air ratio is correct. A boiler running rich wastes gas and produces CO.
Benchmark book never filled in
If the benchmark or service record is empty, the manufacturer will reject any warranty claim — even on a 2-year-old boiler.
System filter never cleaned
MagnaClean and ADEY filters are emptied every service. If the filter cup is full of black sludge, the heat exchanger is being cooked.
Inhibitor level not tested
Inhibitor degrades over time. Without an annual test, corrosion accelerates and the system fills with magnetite within 3–4 years.
Loose flue fittings
Vibration loosens flue joints over time. A flue gas test catches a leak before it becomes a CO risk.
Our process
What's actually included in our boiler service
The full manufacturer schedule, every visit. No shortcuts.
- 01
Pre-service checks
Visual inspection of installation, flue termination, ventilation, gas tightness test on the supply pipework.
- 02
Case off & inspect
Casing removed, burner, heat exchanger, fan and seals inspected. Any signs of overheat, corrosion or wear flagged in writing.
- 03
Combustion analysis
Calibrated Kane or Anton flue gas analyser used to measure CO, CO₂ and ratio — proves the boiler is burning cleanly within manufacturer parameters.
- 04
Gas rate measurement
Gas-rate measured at the meter and cross-checked against manufacturer spec. Adjusted where needed.
- 05
Condensate & system checks
Condensate trap emptied and cleaned, system pressure verified, expansion vessel charge checked, system filter emptied if fitted.
- 06
Sign-off & benchmark
Service record / benchmark book completed, gas safety record issued (CP12 if landlord), invoice and certificates handed over on the day.
Benefits
Why an annual service pays for itself
Warranty stays valid
Ideal, Baxi and Worcester all require documented annual servicing to honour the 10-year parts & labour warranty.
Cheaper running costs
A properly tuned boiler burns gas more efficiently. The annual fuel saving often pays for the service on its own.
Faults caught early
A failing fan, a cracked seal or a tired expansion vessel found in October costs less than the emergency call-out in January.
Carbon monoxide peace of mind
A flue gas test proves the boiler is burning safely — not just running.
Properly documented
Benchmark book filled, certificate issued — everything a solicitor, insurer or letting agent will ever ask for.
Same engineer year on year
Azim knows the system, knows what was flagged last year, and tracks the boiler's condition over time.

In detail
Servicing for every situation
We service everything we install — and everything anyone else installed, too.
Landlord boiler service + CP12
Annual gas safety check (CP12) and full boiler service bundled and scheduled — we flag renewal dates in advance and send the certificate to you or directly to the letting agent. Standard across rentals in Scunthorpe and Doncaster.
New boiler — first annual service
The single most important service in the boiler's life. Confirms commissioning settings are still holding, and locks in years 2–10 of the manufacturer warranty.
Service plus system check
Where requested, we extend the service with a full system check — radiator balance, inhibitor test, expansion vessel pressure and filter clean. Recommended every 2–3 years.
Brand coverage
Worcester Bosch, Ideal, Baxi, Vaillant, Glow-worm, Potterton, Main, Alpha and Viessmann. Each serviced strictly to that manufacturer's published procedure.
Service contracts
Multi-property landlord packages with all gas safety dates managed in one schedule. One invoice, one point of contact, one paper trail.

How much is a boiler service?
Standard combi boiler service is a fixed price agreed in writing before we book the visit. Landlord CP12 + service bundles and multi-property contracts are priced on request.
How long does a service take?
A standard combi service takes around 45–60 minutes on-site. Older heat-only or system boilers with separate cylinders can take a little longer.
Will it keep my warranty valid?
Yes — we service strictly to manufacturer spec and complete the benchmark / service record, which is exactly what Ideal, Baxi and Worcester require to honour the 10-year warranty.
Do you service boilers you didn't install?
Absolutely — we service every brand, regardless of who installed it. Anything non-compliant we find gets flagged in writing without being used as a sales pitch.
Can you do the gas safety certificate at the same time?
Yes. Landlord CP12 + annual boiler service is the most common booking for our rental customers in Scunthorpe and Doncaster. Both certificates issued in one visit.
How often does a boiler need servicing?
Every 12 months. Manufacturer warranties on Ideal, Baxi and Worcester require it, and an unserviced boiler runs less efficiently and fails sooner.
What if you find a fault during the service?
We'll flag it in writing with a fixed-price repair quote. You decide whether to go ahead. No work happens beyond the agreed service without your say-so.
Do you cover oil-fired boilers?
No — we cover gas appliances only. We don't carry out oil-fired (OFTEC) work.
