Boiler Service & Repairs Chafford Hundred

Boiler Servicing

Boiler servicing is essential maintenance that homeowners often overlook. Boilers are used 365 days a year to heat water and provide heating in the colder months.

As fuel is being burned, the Boiler accumulates dirt, which gradually reduces the Boiler’s efficiency and increases the chance of Boiler failure.

Servicing involves cleaning the Boiler’s components and running tests ensuring everything’s in complete working order.

Following a service, your Boiler will run more efficiently and is far less likely to break down.

Boiler breakdowns are widespread in winter and are always inconvenient and unpleasant, often involving a period without heating or hot water.

What You Get From A Boiler Service

1. A clean serviced Boiler ensures you’re not wasting fuel and money on your energy bills.
2. Servicing your Boiler offers some degree of protection against Boiler failure.
3. If we find any issues with your Boiler during the testing phase of the service, you can plan to have them addressed before they cause your Boiler to fail.
4. Faulty seals and pressure valves are a breakdown waiting to happen. In the event we find any defective parts, they can be obtained and replaced.
5. Minor issues, such as low pressure and loose pipes that leak water, will be rectified during the service.
6. We’ll test all the safety devices of the Boiler. These devices are in place to prevent Boiler damage in the event of a breakdown. The engineer will make sure they’re all working correctly.
7. Home insurance boiler breakdown policies won’t cover a Boiler that hasn’t been serviced in the previous 12 months. A service will validate your insurance.
8. Servicing verifies your Boiler’s safety and doesn’t pose a carbon monoxide risk to you or your family. During the service, we’ll measure the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide with a flue gas analyser to ensure everything’s in order and all noxious gases are expelled adequately.
9. Once the engineer has finished the service and is satisfied, everything is clean and working correctly, the boilers are put back together, and the work areas tidied, so it’s left as found.
10. Our engineer will switch on the Boiler and check that it’s heating your hot water and radiators properly. The radiators will be bled if necessary, so you have total heat output.
11. A service record is provided for you to keep for your records in case you ever need to make an insurance claim on your Boiler

Why Do Boilers Breakdown?

The lifespan of a Boiler is around ten years. Some may last longer. It depends on the standard of the Boiler, usage, and how well it’s maintained.

Boilers use multiple components to consume fuel and heat water in a safe process that doesn’t put householders at risk.

Boilers work very hard every day. The parts gradually wear due to the corrosive nature of water, and sooner or later, a part will fail, causing the Boiler to stop.

Usually, a replacement part fitted by a certified engineer is all that’s required to get your Boiler up and running again.

Common Boiler Faults Include

• Leaking – A faulty seal or valve is releasing water
• Kettling – Limescale blocking the heat exchanger sounds like a kettle
• Constantly switching off – Low pressure, an obstructed pipe or a pilot light issue
• Pilot lights keep blowing out – Fault with the gas supply or thermocouple
• Low pressure – Caused by incorrect setting, a leak, or a blockage
• Loud noises – A number of things could be wrong. Get your Boiler checked
• Frozen condensate pipes – Excess water needs to be expelled, or the Boiler will stop
