Boiler servicing, Bristol
Annual boiler servicing is an essential way to keep your boiler in peak condition and avoid serious, long-term breakdowns. Our fully qualified Gas Safe and OFTEC registered engineers complete a range of tests and checks to make sure your boiler is working as efficiently as possible.
We provide gas boiler servicing, oil boiler servicing and LPG boiler servicing, so whatever the fuel type, your boiler operates safely and efficiently. A service means our knowledgeable, experienced heating engineers inspect and maintain the boiler’s components to keep it in good working condition.
Gas, oil and LPG boilers should typically be serviced once a year. As well as keeping your system in good working order, an annual service is often a requirement of the manufacturer’s guarantee or warranty, helps extend your boiler’s lifespan and reduces the risk of future breakdowns. For landlords, we also provide boiler servicing for landlords, including the annual Gas Safety Certificate.

How a service works
01
Tell us your boiler type and when suits you. Before the visit, clear the space around the boiler so the engineer can reach it and the pipework.
02
Our engineer removes the boiler casing and inspects the components inside, checking for wear, leaks and anything that could become a fault.
03
We clean the parts that need it and work through the safety and efficiency tests for your fuel type, from flue gases to pressures and electrics.
04
We fire the boiler up, check it’s running as it should and tell you what we found. If there’s a fault, we’ll quote for the repair on the same day.

We strongly advise having your boiler serviced at least once a year so it runs properly, efficiently and safely. During the annual service our fully qualified engineers carry out thorough inspections, identifying and fixing potential faults before they escalate into long-term issues. An annual service also keeps any boiler guarantees or warranties you have in place valid. For what’s involved, see the service checklist above or get in touch.
Most of the time, a boiler service takes around 30 to 40 minutes. The engineer works through a series of safety checks and measures to make sure everything is working as it should, including removing the boiler casing to inspect and clean the components inside. Oil boilers usually take longer because of the extra cleaning and dip tests; see our oil boiler service page.
A few simple preparations help. Depending on where your boiler is, make sure the area around it is clear so your engineer can easily inspect and check both the boiler and the pipework, and remove the boiler casing. If you’re confident doing so, you can also switch off your boiler around 30 minutes before your appointment, so the key components can cool down ahead of time.
If our engineer discovers any faults or issues, they’ll tell you straight away, show you what they’ve found and explain your options. Our engineers can provide a quote for any repair work required on the same day, so you know exactly where you stand before anything else is done.
