Boiler Service & Repairs Thurrock

Boiler Servicing

Boiler Servicing Offers The Following Benefits:

• The chance of Boiler breakdown is significantly reduced
• Your Boiler will run at maximal efficiency (that’s possible for your Boiler)
• Full efficiency means lower heating bills
• Ensures your Boilers are not a carbon monoxide risk
• Any underlying issues uncovered can be repaired immediately or at a future date
• Servicing validates manufacturers’ warranties and home breakdown cover policies
• After servicing your Boiler, you are less likely to experience a costly Boiler breakdown or worse, a condemned Boiler that must be replaced
• Servicing ensures the cleaning and testing of all major components

Our Gas engineers can be booked at a convenient time that suits your schedule. Your Boiler’s following a stringent procedure that covers all aspects of the working parts involved.

Once servicing is complete, your Boiler will be clean. All elements will be in place with no loose connections that would have been hindering your Boilers performance.

You Boiler will be running at full efficiency, (please note efficiency will depend on your Boiler type, age and condition).

You’ll get the most out of your energy spend (Around 60% of a typical household energy bill is used for running the Boiler).

We service all makes and all types of Boiler

Boiler Service Procedure

1. The servicing procedure may vary slightly depending on the Boiler that’s being serviced, but here’s how a service typically goes.
2. The casing is removed and inspected for corrosion, which means a faulty component causes a leak present
3. All seals and pipework are checked to make sure there are no leaks, and the connections are tight.
4. All internal parts are cleaned, which improves function and allows us to accurately test the parts also.
5. Water pressure is checked to ensure there are no blockages present in pipes or components.
6. Gas burner pressure tested, incorrect pressure is corrected, so your Boiler burns the proper amount of gas. We conduct a gas rate check using a gas meter also.
7. The flue is checked visually for signs of wear and tested with a flue gas analyser. This test makes sure all noxious gases are adequately expelled and don’t pose a carbon monoxide risk.
8. All safety devices and valves are checked and tested. Safety devices minimise Boiler damage in case the Boiler ever fails and comes to an abrupt stop.
9. We ensure there’s adequate ventilation for the Boiler to function correctly, and there’s no leaking gas in the Boiler or pipes.
10. Once the service is completed, a service record is written
11. The engineer will check the Boiler is working ok and may offer some recommendations for boiler repairs (if any faults are found) or central heating system settings, so you get the most out of your Boiler

Boiler Repairs

Whatever your Boiler make or type we can repair it. All Boilers are covered, including Gas, Oil, Electric, Combination, System and Regular/Traditional.

Combination Boiler repairs are usually straightforward as all the working components are located within the Boiler itself.

System and regular Boilers involve external parts such as cylinders, pumps and water tanks, so the repairs may take a bit longer.

Boiler Parts

Some repairs require parts. Some repairs don’t. It depends on the type of fault. Our engineers have various Boiler parts with them.

If we haven’t got the part we can obtain them locally or if we have to order the part and return at a later date.

We always do everything we can to ensure the Boilers up and running the same day.

When To Call A Boiler Engineer

Boiler Stops Working

If your Boiler stops working and you can’t get it working again, you’ll have to get a Gas Safe Registered engineer out.

Never attempt boiler repairs yourself. Boilers pose Gas leaks and Carbon Monoxide risks, which can kill. Always use a qualified professional who knows what they’re doing.

In freezing weather frozen condensate pipes often prevent Boilers from working, as such it’s recommended the condensate pipe’s adequately insulated.

Other causes are incorrect pressure, blockages and leaks. One of our engineers will promptly identify the issue and resolve it.

Pilot Light Blows Out Frequently

If your pilot light keeps blowing out, then you probably have a failing thermocouple, or there’s a problem with the gas supply itself.

Continuous Stopping, Loud Or Unusual Noises

Boilers run very quietly. If you start noticing loud or unusual noises, switch off your Boiler and don’t use it again until an engineer has checked it.

There’s probably a blockage in the system. Blockages can cause expensive damage to the working parts of the Boiler.

If your Boiler keeps stopping and switching off, then a blockage could be preventing correct water flow (or the pump may be faulty)

Leaks

Leaking Boilers should always be investigated left alone they will damage your Boiler and even parts of your property. The cause is most likely a worn seal (which are easily replaced), loose or corroded pipework or broken pressure valves.
