Professional Boiler Servicing in Peterborough
Regular boiler servicing is essential for safety, efficiency, and protecting your manufacturer's warranty. Our Gas Safe registered engineers (Reg: 123456) carry out comprehensive inspections covering all critical components — giving you complete peace of mind that your boiler is running safely and economically all year round.
We service all major boiler brands across Peterborough, including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, and Viessmann. Whether you have a combi, system, or conventional boiler, our experienced engineers have the training and equipment to carry out a full, certified service.
What's Included in Our Annual Boiler Service
Our service covers every critical component — not just a visual check and a tick in a box. Here's exactly what our Gas Safe engineers carry out during each visit:
- Full visual inspection of the boiler, flue, and surrounding pipework
- Gas pressure and flow rate checks to manufacturer's specifications
- Combustion analysis and emissions testing
- Controls, safety devices, and thermostat testing
- Cleaning of key internal components including the burner and heat exchanger
- Condensate trap and drainage check
- Flue integrity and ventilation assessment
- Written service record with findings and any recommendations
If we find anything of concern, we'll explain it in plain English and provide an honest quote for any repairs needed — with no pressure to proceed on the day.
Why Annual Boiler Servicing Matters
An annual boiler service isn't just about ticking a box — it's genuinely important for your safety. Your boiler burns gas, and any fault in the combustion process can produce carbon monoxide — a colourless, odourless gas responsible for around 40 deaths a year in the UK. A properly serviced boiler is a safe boiler.
Beyond safety, a well-maintained boiler runs significantly more efficiently. Studies show a serviced boiler can use up to 10% less gas than a neglected one — a real difference to your energy bills during the winter months when your heating runs for hours at a time.
Most boiler manufacturers — including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, and Baxi — also require annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer as a condition of their warranty. Miss a service and you risk voiding that warranty, leaving you to cover the full cost of any future repairs.
Signs Your Boiler Needs Servicing
If your annual service is overdue or you notice any of the following warning signs, contact us for an inspection rather than waiting until your next scheduled visit:
- Strange banging, whistling, or gurgling noises coming from the boiler
- Yellow or orange flame instead of a clean, steady blue flame
- Radiators taking longer than usual to heat up
- A rise in your gas bills without any increase in usage
- The boiler frequently losing pressure or going into lockout
- A faint smell near the boiler, or dark staining and soot around it
A yellow flame in particular can indicate incomplete combustion and a potential carbon monoxide risk — don't ignore it. If you're unsure, call us or the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend servicing your boiler every 12 months without fail. Most boiler manufacturers — including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, and Ideal — require an annual service carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer to keep the warranty valid. Beyond the warranty requirement, an annual service is the single most effective way to catch faults early before they develop into costly breakdowns. If you've missed a service, don't wait until something goes wrong — book as soon as possible, especially ahead of the winter months when your boiler is working hardest.
A standard boiler service typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the type, age, and overall condition of the boiler. Combi boilers are usually quicker to service than older conventional or system boilers. If our engineer finds anything that needs additional attention — such as a component requiring a deeper clean or a minor adjustment — the visit may run slightly longer. We'll always let you know immediately if that's the case. Most services are completed within the hour, so you won't need to clear your whole day.
Yes, absolutely. Many boiler faults — including dangerous ones — develop invisibly and produce no noticeable symptoms until they're serious. A boiler that appears to be working perfectly can still have combustion issues, a cracked heat exchanger, or deteriorating seals that present a carbon monoxide risk. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless, so you won't detect it without a professional test or a working CO alarm. Regular servicing catches these issues before they become safety hazards or expensive repairs. Think of it like an annual car service — you don't wait for the engine to fail before booking it in.
Our standard boiler service starts from just £79 with no hidden fees, no call-out charges, and no unexpected extras. The price is confirmed before we start, and you'll receive a full written service record on completion. We also offer discounted bundle rates when you combine a boiler service with a gas safety certificate (CP12) — popular with landlords who need both in a single visit. For landlords managing multiple properties, ask about our portfolio pricing and annual maintenance contracts, which cover all compliance requirements at a predictable annual cost.
We service all major domestic boiler brands, including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Viessmann, Glow-worm, Potterton, Ariston, and Ferroli. Our engineers are trained to work on combi, system, and conventional (heat-only) boilers of all ages — from modern high-efficiency condensing boilers to older units that have been running for many years. If your boiler is an unusual or older make and model, give us a call before booking and we'll confirm we can cover it. In most cases, we can.
Yes. Regular servicing can reduce your gas consumption by up to 10% by ensuring the boiler burns fuel as efficiently as possible. Over time, components like the burner and heat exchanger accumulate deposits that reduce combustion efficiency — meaning the boiler burns more gas to produce the same heat. When our engineer cleans these components and checks the combustion settings, the boiler runs more cleanly. Over a full winter, those savings add up and can go a long way towards covering the cost of the service itself. A well-serviced boiler also produces fewer carbon emissions per unit of heat.
Yes, and we'd recommend it. Having both done in a single visit is more cost-effective than booking separately, since the engineer is already on site and much of the safety checking overlaps with the service. This is particularly useful for landlords, who are legally required to hold a valid gas safety certificate (CP12) for every rental property with gas appliances. Certificates are issued on the day of the inspection — both digital and physical copies provided. Ask about our bundle pricing when you book, or visit our gas safety certificates page for full pricing details.
