Boiler Servicing

Boilers are on the go 365 days a year, supplying your home with hot water and heat, as such, they need looking after. Servicing ensures your Boiler is burning the required amount of fuel while minimising waste, saving money on your heating bill.

All servicing is undertaken to the manufacturer’s specifications and following Gas Safe regulations.

All seals and pipework are checked for tightness and leaks. Leaks cause corrosion to internal parts and casing. Left alone, the damage will become more severe. Servicing allows the identification and elimination of leaks.

All internal components are cleaned and inspected for wear and damage, uncovering any underlying issues in the process.

Small issues can be rectified or planned for repair before they become more serious.

All internal parts of the Boiler are tested for correct function, for example, the gas burner is tested to ensure it’s running at the correct pressure and adjusted as necessary.

Keeping Your Family Warm & Safe

After servicing, your Boiler will run smoothly and safely, giving you continuous hot water and heating and won’t present a carbon monoxide risk.

While Carbon Monoxide poisoning is rare and unlikely, it’s always a possibility when a fuel-burning appliance is present. (All homes with gas boilers should have carbon monoxide alarms as a precaution )

During the service, we’ll analyse oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide rates with a flue gas analyser. We’ll also check the ventilation to ensure the Boiler is receiving enough oxygen for the amount of gas burned.

Next, we check the flue, ensuring all unwanted gases are expelled as they should be. This procedure ensures your Boiler is safe to use.

Protection From Boiler Breakdown

The chances of Boiler failure are significantly reduced after servicing. Boiler breakdowns are always a headache and never happen at a convenient time.

Most Boiler breakdowns occur in freezing weather, the time of year when the Boiler works its hardest. Gas engineers are also very busy at this time of year.

No one wants to sit in a freezing house waiting for a repair. Protect yourself from this unpleasant scenario with an annual boiler service.

After Servicing

Once the service is complete, we’ll check that the Boiler works properly and you have hot water and heating. Radiators are bled if required.

Our engineer may make some recommendations so you can get the most out of your Boiler and heating system.

All servicing is accompanied by a service record which shows that a Gas Safe Registered Engineer has serviced your Boiler.

Boiler Repairs

If your Boiler has broken down, is making strange noises, or you feel something’s wrong, switch your Boiler off immediately. If your Boiler’s leaking, shut off the mains supply also.

Don’t worry our engineers have dealt with every boiler fault imaginable. Give us a call and take advice from one of our engineers.

Please don’t try to rectify any faults yourself. Working on Boilers is dangerous if you’re not qualified. Severe damage could occur to your Boiler also.

An engineer will advise you over the phone and arrange a time to pop over and deal with the fault. We aim to attend to boiler breakdowns within 2 hours however, we can arrange a later time if necessary.

How We Repair Boilers

Clearwater Plumbing and Heating is a Gas Safe Registered Company with many years of experience in repairing Boilers of all makes and types.

An engineer will arrive at the agreed time and present the necessary identification (Gas Safe Card). Rest assured, repairs are undertaken by certified professionals.

Our Engineer will visually inspect your Boiler, to begin with, before running some quick tests to establish the fault. Once we know what the problem is and the parts involved, we’ll give you a price to undertake the repair.

As a local company, we ensure our prices remain fair when compared to other Gas Engineers in the area. Our experience and expertise enable swift repairs, keeping the cost down.

Often, parts are not needed to get the Boiler back working. We stock various parts for repairs in case they are required.

Sometimes, parts need to be obtained or ordered, and we have established good relationships with local stockists, allowing us to obtain many parts on the same day. Otherwise, we’ll order and return when we have the necessary parts.

All repairs are done tidily, and our engineers are mindful to cause as little disruption as possible.

Once the repairs are completed, the boilers are switched on and tested to make sure they’re in full working order.

Recommendations To Prevent Boiler Breakdown

If necessary, our Engineer will offer recommendations to prevent your Boiler from breaking down again in the future.

Annual Boiler servicing is recommended for all Boilers. Neglected boilers are especially prone to breaking down. Regular servicing significantly lowers the risk.

Powerflushing is recommended for dirty systems containing a build-up of sludge and debris, such as limescale.

Debris lodged in working parts is a frequent cause of Boiler failure. Power flushing removes debris, so your Boiler is operating on a clean system.

New installations may be recommended for the oldest of Boilers. Old boilers break down often, and parts are difficult if not impossible, to source.
