Annual boiler service across London

If your boiler is making odd noises, losing pressure, or quietly pushing up your gas bills, an annual service across London and the M25 catches that wear before you lose heating or hot water. Our Gas Safe engineers run the full manufacturer check, with emergencies typically seen in 30 to 60 minutes.

An annual boiler service is the single best maintenance investment a homeowner can make. It costs from £149.99 in London. It catches sensor drift, fan wear, gas-pressure issues, flue defects and combustion inefficiencies before they become breakdowns. It validates manufacturer warranties (most boiler warranties are explicitly voided without documented annual servicing). It typically extends boiler life by 5+ years.

Our annual service follows the full manufacturer service schedule, strip-down, inspection, gas-pressure verification, flue-gas analysis (FGA), case clean, ignition system check, ionisation probe inspection, pressure-relief valve test, and condensate trap cleaning. A signed service record is issued same-day for warranty and landlord-compliance purposes.

Frequently Asked

Your questions answered

How much does an annual boiler service cost in London?
From £149.99 for a single combi or system boiler. Combined with the CP12 landlord gas safety record: from £251.99 (saving £40 vs booking separately). See our full pricing.
Is an annual service required by law?
Yes for landlords (under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998), combined with the CP12. Not legally required for owner-occupiers, but most manufacturer warranties (5,12 year) are void without documented annual servicing.
How long does an annual service take?
Typical residential boiler service: 45,75 minutes on site. Includes combustion analysis, component inspection, pressure verification, and case clean.
Will the service prove the boiler is safe?
Yes, the FGA combustion check explicitly verifies safe operation including carbon monoxide levels. If the FGA reading is outside acceptable parameters, the engineer will identify the cause and quote repair.
My boiler is working fine, do I really need a service?
Yes, for two reasons: (1) most manufacturer warranties require it; (2) silent issues, sensor drift, slowly fouling fan, drifting gas pressure, accumulate over 12+ months and shorten boiler life if untreated. from £149.99 a year vs £2,500 premature replacement is a strong argument.
