A boiler service is not a five-minute look and a sticker. Done properly it is a combustion test, a safety check and an inspection of the components most likely to fail, and it is the reason some boilers last fifteen years and others give up at eight.
Almost every manufacturer's warranty is conditional on an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer, recorded in the Benchmark logbook. Miss a year and a claim can be refused. If you have a boiler with a 10 or 12 year warranty, this is not a small detail.
Most boiler breakdowns happen in the first genuinely cold week of the year, because that is when the system is first put under load. A service in September or October finds the failing part while you still have options.
A badly burning gas appliance produces carbon monoxide. The combustion test we do with a flue gas analyser measures exactly what the boiler is producing, which is not something you can assess by looking at it.
A boiler running with the wrong gas pressure, a partially blocked heat exchanger or a sooted burner uses more gas to do the same job.
Gas inlet working pressure and burner pressure against manufacturer specification
Combustion analysis with a calibrated flue gas analyser
Flue integrity, terminal position and clearances, and a flue flow test
Heat exchanger condition, and cleaning where required
Burner and injectors
Seals and gaskets
Ignition and flame sensing
Safety devices, including overheat and flame failure
Expansion vessel charge pressure
System pressure and pressure relief valve
Condensate trap and discharge pipe
Ventilation to the appliance
Visible pipework and gas soundness
Controls and thermostat operation
Afterwards you get a written record and a completed Benchmark logbook entry.
Fixed Transparent Pricing
No hidden fees · Gas Safe certified
We provide upfront, fixed-price boiler servicing across Dewsbury, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Bradford and Halifax. Combined service and landlord gas safety certificate (CP12) packages are also available.
Call 07866 623870 for our current fixed service ratesOnce every twelve months. The best time is late summer or early autumn — September and October — before the heating goes on properly and before every engineer in the district is booked up with breakdowns.
If your boiler is under warranty, service it on or before the anniversary of the installation date, not "sometime that year".
Ring 07866 623870 or message us on WhatsApp to book a convenient date with our Gas Safe registered engineers.
