Boiler servicing in Loughton takes in the checks the manufacturer asks for plus a look at the effect of the Epping Forest area's very hard water (390 ppm) on the heat exchanger and any scale reducer fitted. Around 82% of homes in Loughton heat with mains gas, so most of our service visits here are gas combis. Our base is around 40 minutes away.
An annual boiler service checks that the boiler is burning cleanly, venting safely and running at the pressures and gas rate the manufacturer intended. It is the one job that catches small faults before they become breakdowns, and most manufacturer warranties require it every year.
Our engineer inspects the boiler, flue and pipework, runs a flue gas analysis with a calibrated analyser, checks the gas pressure and gas rate, inspects seals, the burner and the heat exchanger, tests the safety devices, checks the system pressure, expansion vessel and filter, and records the results for your warranty file. Anything that needs attention is explained and priced separately.
We service all makes, including Baxi, Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal and Glow-worm, and are Gas Safe registered (925538). You can book a one-off service or join a service plan from £8.99 a month, which includes the annual service, priority call-out and warranty management.

Questions about boiler servicing in Loughton
How much does a boiler service cost?
Ask us for a one-off price for your boiler when you call. Plan 1 at £8.99 a month, including VAT, covers the annual service, priority call-out and manufacturer warranty management on a 12-month minimum term. Landlords can add the gas safety certificate on Plan 3 at £12.99 a month.
How quickly can you book a service?
A service is planned work, so we book it at a time that suits you rather than the first available slot. Call 01268 855605 or use the booking form and we will offer dates. If the boiler has a fault, book a repair instead so the engineer comes prepared.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year. Most manufacturer warranties are conditional on an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and a boiler that is checked yearly is far less likely to fail in the first cold week of winter. Our plans send you a reminder when the service falls due.
What is the difference between a service and a gas safety check?
A gas safety check confirms the appliance is safe to use and is what a landlord's CP12 records. A service goes further, inspecting and cleaning components and checking the boiler is running to the manufacturer's figures. Landlords usually have both done on the same visit.
How far is Loughton from you?
Loughton is 30 miles from our base in Bowers Gifford, around 40 minutes by van. Next-day appointments for repairs and installs, and emergencies as availability allows. Typical drive time around 40 minutes.
