How Boiler Servicing Works

Here’s a typical Boiler Service procedure 

1. The first step is to book a time slot for a Boiler service. You can do this by phone or email.
2. Our engineer will turn up on time and present their Gas Safe ID (a good engineer always shows a Gas Safe ID to verify they are qualified and can legally work on a gas system. Never use a Gas Engineer who cannot/will not produce Gas Safe ID)
3. The Boiler case is removed and inspected before being cleaned inside and out. A new case may be required if your case has suffered corrosion, although corrosion indicates a leak and fault within the Boiler, which our engineer will investigate.
4. All Boiler seals and pipework are checked for tightness to ensure no leaks are present.
5. The pressure is checked to ensure water is flowing at the correct rate. If pressure cannot be maintained and keeps dropping, a blockage or leak is likely present (our engineer will look closer if this is the case) 
6. Cleaning commences on all internal parts of the Boiler. This cleaning helps your Boiler run better and allows our engineer to test it more accurately.
7. The gas burner pressure is tested and adjusted if it’s running too low or too high. This ensures your Boiler burns the correct amount of gas.
8. The safety devices within the Boiler are tested to ensure they are in complete working order. 
9. While the Boilers are running, a flue gas analyser is placed inside the flue to monitor oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide levels. This test indicates your boiler’s safety and efficiency.
10. The flue is visually inspected to ensure it’s been fitted correctly, removing all exhaust gases while retaining heat.
11. Proper Ventilation is essential to keep carbon monoxide at bay. The engineer ensures adequate Ventilation around the Boiler, which should be ten cubic meters of air to every one cubic meter of gas.
12. The engineer will check that no gas leaks from the Boiler or gas pipework.
13. The condensate pipe is checked for correct fitting and insulation. If insulation is absent, our engineer will recommend some to prevent freezing in winter (which stops the Boiler from working)
14. After the service, the case is refitted, and the Boiler is switched on.
15. The engineer will ensure the Boilers are running correctly and your radiators are heating. Bleeding of radiators may be required.
16. The engineer tidies up and writes a service record. Please keep the service record in case you ever need to send a copy to the Boiler manufacturer (guarantee) or your home breakdown insurers.

Following the Boiler service, you can rest assured that your Boiler is set up correctly and running safely with the best possible efficiency.

Boiler Repairs 

If your Boiler has broken down or isn’t running correctly, switch it off immediately. Running a malfunctioning Boiler can cause more severe and expensive damage.

Emergency Boiler repairs in Canvey Island include a fast response and no call-out charges (minimum 1 hour’s labour applies).

Contact Us If You’re Experiencing Any of the Following Boiler Issues.

• Boiler won’t switch on – There could be several reasons. We will run tests to determine the cause and solution.
• Leaking from within the Boiler or pipework running to the Boiler – Boilers can still run with leaks. Still, leaks can damage the boiler’s internal components and electrics, as well as the area outside the Boiler.
• A loud whistling, boiling kettle noise is coming from the Boiler – Limescale is lodged in the heat exchanger. Left alone, this could cause significant damage.
• Boiler keeps switching off – This could be a pressure issue, a leak, a faulty thermocouple, a blockage, or an issue with the gas supply itself.
• The pilot light keeps blowing out – It is most likely a faulty thermocouple. Sometimes, it’s down to the gas supply.
• Failing pressure – A leak or a blockage is the likely cause.
• Radiators won’t heat – If the Boiler’s running and the radiators won’t heat, bleed them. If there is still no heat, you likely have a valve problem or an extremely dirty system.
• The condensate pipe is frozen – The pipe needs defrosting and insulating so it won’t freeze again.
• Loud, unusual noises – There could be several issues. Loud noises in Boilers always need investigating, so don’t ignore them.

If you need a Boiler repair, give us a call and speak to one of our engineers, who will provide instructions over the phone until they can get to you.

Some Boiler faults only need a simple tweak and may not even require an engineer’s visit.

Sometimes, Boiler faults require the shutting off of the water. Please make sure you know where your main stopcock is and that it’s working correctly.

Our engineer will arrange a time to come over and look at your Boiler. We aim to attend Boiler repairs within a few hours of your call.

Most faults are fixed on the same day. However, we may need to order parts, many of which can be ordered the same day, so you don’t have to wait long for your heating and hot water to return. Otherwise, we’ll deliver the parts as quickly as possible.

Canvey Island properties that also have Underfloor Heating or Air Conditioning can have these systems serviced and repaired at the same time as their Boiler. Helping keep everything running reliably without repeated visits.
