Boiler Service Middlesbrough

Quick answer: A boiler service costs from £70 and takes about an hour. You should service your boiler once a year - it keeps the warranty valid, catches problems early, and makes sure it’s running safely.

Boiler Service in Middlesbrough

An annual boiler service is one of those things that’s easy to forget but genuinely important. It keeps your boiler running safely, helps it last longer, and is required to maintain the manufacturer warranty.

We service all makes and models across Middlesbrough and Teesside. The job takes about an hour, and you’ll get a service record for your files.

Why Service Your Boiler Every Year?

Safety Gas boilers can develop faults that aren’t obvious but are dangerous - incomplete combustion, flue blockages, carbon monoxide leaks. A service checks all of this.

Warranty Check your boiler warranty terms. Almost all require annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Skip a service and your warranty may be void - meaning you’d pay for repairs that should be covered.

Efficiency A well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently. Dirty burners, incorrect gas pressure, or worn seals all reduce efficiency and increase your gas bill.

Reliability Services catch worn parts before they fail completely. Replacing a £30 part during a service is much cheaper than an emergency callout when the boiler dies in January.

What’s Included in a Boiler Service?

During a service, we:

1. Inspect the boiler casing and controls - checking for damage, corrosion, or wear
2. Remove the burner and inspect - checking for debris or damage
3. Check the heat exchanger - looking for cracks or blockages
4. Test the gas pressure and flow - ensuring correct operation
5. Analyse the flue gases - checking combustion efficiency and safety
6. Inspect the flue and terminals - making sure exhaust gases vent properly
7. Test all safety devices - thermostats, overheat cutoffs, flame sensors
8. Check the system pressure - topping up if needed
9. Clean components if necessary
10. Complete a service record - dated and stamped

If we find any issues, we’ll explain what’s wrong and give you a quote for repairs. We won’t do any extra work without your agreement.

How Much Does a Boiler Service Cost?

Service	Price
Standard boiler service	£70
Boiler service + gas safety certificate	£95
Boiler service + magnetic filter clean	£85

No hidden costs. If your boiler needs repairs beyond the service, we’ll quote separately.

When to Book Your Service

The best time is summer or early autumn, before you start using the heating daily. You’ll get quicker booking, and if any issues are found, there’s time to fix them before winter.

That said, we service boilers year-round. If yours is overdue, book now rather than waiting for the “right” time.

Boiler Service vs Gas Safety Check

These are different things:

Boiler service - A thorough inspection and clean of your boiler, checking performance and efficiency. Recommended annually for everyone.

Gas safety check (CP12) - A legal requirement for landlords, checking that gas appliances are safe. Less comprehensive than a full service.

If you’re a landlord, you need the gas safety certificate. A service is optional but recommended. We can do both together at a reduced rate.

Service Records and Warranty

After each service, you’ll receive a written service record showing:

• Date of service
• Engineer’s name and Gas Safe number
• Checks performed
• Any issues found
• Recommendations

Keep these records with your boiler manual. You’ll need them if you ever make a warranty claim or sell your house.

Can you service any boiler brand?

Yes - we service Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Potterton, Glow-worm, and all other major brands.

How long does a boiler service take?

Yes - we need someone over 18 at the property to let us in and show us the boiler location.
