What is a boiler service?
A boiler service is a full check and clean of your gas boiler by a Gas Safe registered engineer. It keeps the boiler running safely and efficiently, catches small faults before they turn into breakdowns, and is usually a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
Manufacturers recommend a service every year. It is not the same as the landlord gas safety check (CP12), which is the legal annual safety inspection, but the two are often done on the same visit. Compare Gas Safe engineers near you, see fixed prices and book your boiler service online.

Boiler Service: common questions
How much does a boiler service cost?
Each engineer sets a fixed price by the number of boilers, so you see the full price before you book. Enter your postcode to compare Gas Safe engineers who cover you.
Is a boiler service the same as a gas safety certificate?
No. The landlord gas safety check (CP12) is a legal safety inspection of every gas appliance, pipework and flue in the property. A boiler service goes further on the boiler itself, opening it up to clean and adjust the parts so it keeps working well. Many landlords book both on the same visit.
Do landlords have to service the boiler every year?
The law requires an annual gas safety check, and landlords must keep gas appliances in safe condition. Annual servicing isn't a separate legal requirement, but it is what manufacturers recommend and most boiler warranties need it to stay valid.
How long does a boiler service take?
Usually between 30 minutes and an hour per boiler. The heating and hot water will be off for part of the visit, so let your tenants know.
Who can service a gas boiler?
Only a Gas Safe registered engineer can legally work on a gas boiler. Before any engineer can take bookings on RentalComply we check their qualifications, insurance, ID and DBS, and track renewal dates so nothing lapses.
