How Much Does a Boiler Service Cost in Peterborough?

Boiler service costs in Peterborough typically range from £79 to £120. Find out exactly what's included, when to book, and how to avoid being overcharged.

Typical Boiler Service Costs in Peterborough

A standard annual boiler service in Peterborough costs between £79 and £120 when booked with a Gas Safe registered engineer. The exact price depends on your boiler type, its age, and whether any minor work is needed on the day.

At Peterborough Plumbers, we charge a fixed rate starting from £79 for a standard combi boiler service — no hidden call-out fees, no surprises on the invoice.

What Affects the Price?

Boiler type: Combi boilers are the most common and quickest to service. System and conventional boilers take slightly longer and may cost a little more.
Boiler age: Older boilers (10+ years) sometimes require extra time to access components safely.
Additional repairs: If the engineer identifies a fault — such as a faulty valve or corroded component — repairs are quoted separately before any work is carried out.
Your location: Engineers serving Peterborough city centre may have slightly different rates to those covering rural Cambridgeshire villages.

What's Included in a Boiler Service?

A thorough service by a Gas Safe registered engineer covers all safety-critical components:

Visual inspection of the boiler, flue, and pipework
Gas pressure and flow rate checks
Combustion analysis and emissions testing
Controls, thermostat, and safety device testing
Burner and heat exchanger cleaning
Condensate and drainage check
Written service record

Is It Worth Getting an Annual Service?

Yes — for several reasons. A serviced boiler runs up to 10% more efficiently, which cuts your gas bills. Annual servicing is also a requirement of most manufacturer warranties. Most importantly, a boiler service checks for carbon monoxide risks, which can be life-threatening if left undetected.
