Our Boiler Servicing Process
Visual inspection
We check the boiler casing, seals, and flue terminal for any visible signs of damage, corrosion, or wear.
Internal component check
We remove the boiler casing and inspect the main components: the burner, heat exchanger, fan, ignition electrodes, and electrical connections. We look for signs of wear, leaks, or deterioration.
Flue gas analysis
Using a calibrated flue gas analyser, we measure the combustion readings to ensure the boiler is burning gas safely and efficiently. These readings must fall within the manufacturer's specified parameters.
Operating controls test
We test the thermostat, programmer, and any other controls to make sure they are working correctly and communicating with the boiler.
System pressure and safety check
We verify the system pressure is correct, test the pressure relief valve, and check for carbon monoxide leaks around the boiler and flue.
Report and recommendations
You receive a written service report detailing our findings. If we spot any issues that need attention, we explain what they are and provide a quote for any recommended work. There is never any pressure to proceed.
Boiler Servicing for Chatham Properties
Regular servicing is important for every home, but certain property types in Chatham benefit even more from annual checks:
Older terraces and period homes (ME4, central Chatham, Luton)
These properties often have heating systems that have been extended or modified over the years. We frequently find issues with old pipework connections, poorly positioned flue terminals, and sludge build-up in aging radiators. A service gives us the opportunity to spot these problems before they lead to a breakdown.
Landlord properties
If you rent out a property in Chatham, you are legally required to have all gas appliances checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A boiler service satisfies the maintenance requirement and can be combined with a gas safety certificate for efficiency. We work with several Chatham landlords and letting agents and can arrange annual reminder services.
Homes with extended warranties
If your boiler is still within its manufacturer warranty period, an annual service is essential to keep that warranty valid. We register the service with the manufacturer on your behalf.
Pricing
A standard boiler service in Chatham costs from 80. If you combine it with a landlord gas safety certificate, we offer a discounted package rate. Call us for the current pricing.
