- Professional Advice
Expert Guidance on Boiler Servicing in Kent & The South East
Our Gas Safe-registered engineers regularly service boilers across Kent & the South East. Here we address the most common questions about maintenance, safety checks and compliance requirements.
Do you service all boiler brands?
Yes. We service combi, system and heat-only boilers from most major manufacturers, provided parts and documentation are available.
How long does a boiler service take?
A standard boiler service typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the boiler type and condition.
If faults are identified, additional time may be required for repairs or part replacement.
Is boiler servicing legally required?
For homeowners, annual servicing is strongly recommended but not legally mandatory.
However, landlords are legally required to obtain a valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) every 12 months to remain compliant.
What is the most common boiler fault?
One of the most common boiler faults is low system pressure. This can be caused by:
- Minor leaks in the system
- Recently bled radiators
- Worn seals or valves
Other frequent faults include:
- Ignition or flame detection issues
- Blocked condensate pipes (especially in winter)
- Pump failures
- Thermostat or control problems
Many common faults can be identified early during a routine service, preventing them from developing into full system breakdowns.
Will servicing reduce my energy bills?
A properly serviced boiler operates more efficiently, reducing wasted fuel and improving overall performance.
While savings vary, regular servicing helps maintain optimal energy efficiency.
What happens if I don’t service my boiler?
Without regular servicing, boilers can lose efficiency, develop undetected faults and become unsafe.
Minor issues such as seal wear, pressure imbalance or blocked condensate traps can escalate into costly breakdowns if left unchecked.
How long can a boiler go without a service?
A boiler should be serviced once every 12 months. Most manufacturers require annual servicing to keep the warranty valid.
Technically, a boiler may continue running beyond a year without a service, but doing so increases the risk of:
- Reduced efficiency
- Undetected wear on components
- Safety issues, such as improper combustion
- Invalidated manufacturer warranty
For landlords, going beyond 12 months is not permitted, as a valid Gas Safety Certificate must be renewed annually.
For homeowners, while not legally required, annual servicing is strongly recommended to protect both safety and performance.
When is the best time of year to book a service?
The best time is before winter, when demand for heating increases.
Servicing during spring or summer can also ensure your boiler is ready before colder months arrive.
Are radiators checked during a boiler service?
A standard boiler service focuses primarily on the boiler itself, including combustion checks, internal cleaning and safety inspections.
However, engineers will often:
- Check overall system pressure
- Inspect visible pipework
- Assess radiator performance if issues are reported
A full heating system inspection – including radiator balancing or power flushing – is separate from a basic boiler service but can be arranged if required.
If a customer mentions cold spots or uneven heating during the visit, this can also be investigated.
