A Boiler Service Includes
Checking for carbon monoxide leaks
Carbon monoxide is often called the “silent killer” because it cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. As part of every service, we run checks for any potential leaks to ensure your home and family remain safe. Identifying problems early gives you complete reassurance that your boiler is not putting anyone at risk.
Testing controls and safety devices
Your boiler has several built-in safety features, such as thermostats, cut-off switches, and pressure relief valves. We test each one to make sure they are responding correctly, preventing malfunctions that could otherwise lead to overheating or unexpected shutdowns. This provides you with peace of mind that your system is fully protected.
Gas rate and pressure checks
If your boiler is running at the wrong pressure, it will not perform effectively. Too high, and it may damage components; too low, and you may lose heating or hot water altogether. Our engineers measure and adjust the gas rate and pressure so your system can run smoothly and deliver consistent comfort to your home.
Inspection of internal components
Inside your boiler are crucial parts such as the burner, heat exchanger, fan, and seals. Over time, these can wear down, become blocked, or develop faults. Our team carefully inspects each part, addressing issues early to prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your boiler.
Combustion test with a flue analyser
We use advanced flue analyser equipment to check the gases being produced by your boiler. This allows us to measure combustion efficiency and confirm that harmful gases are being vented safely. It is a vital test that keeps both your heating system and your household safe.
Inspection of water and gas pipework
Pipework carries both gas and water through your system. Leaks or corrosion in these pipes can lead to wasted energy, higher bills, or even damage to your home. During servicing, we thoroughly check all visible pipework to detect early signs of wear before they become bigger issues.
Inspection of electrical connections and seals
Electrical faults can quickly affect how your boiler functions. Loose wires, weak seals, or damaged connectors can cause intermittent breakdowns or pose a safety risk. We make sure every connection is secure and watertight to keep your boiler reliable and safe.
Checking for corrosion or leaks
Rust or water damage inside your boiler is often the start of more serious problems. By spotting and dealing with corrosion early, we can prevent leaks, protect your boiler from deterioration, and give it a longer working life.
Cleaning essential boiler parts
Even the most modern boilers build up dust, dirt, and residue over time. This can clog key components like burners and fans, making the boiler less efficient. By carefully cleaning these parts, we restore performance, improve energy efficiency, and reduce the risk of future breakdowns.
Keep your warranty valid
If you’ve had a new boiler installed, most manufacturers require annual servicing to keep the warranty valid. Skipping a service could leave you without cover if a fault develops. By arranging yearly boiler servicing in Bletchley or across Milton Keynes, you protect both your heating system and your warranty.
The Risks of Delaying Your Boiler Service
Increased energy bills
When a boiler is not properly maintained, dust, dirt, and worn parts make it work harder to produce the same level of heat. This reduces efficiency and causes energy bills to climb unnecessarily.
Frequent breakdowns
Small faults that are easy to fix during a service often develop into major failures if left unchecked. Worn seals, weak pressure, or faulty components can suddenly cause a breakdown, leaving you facing the stress of emergency repairs.
Carbon monoxide risks
A poorly maintained boiler can produce carbon monoxide, a colourless and odourless gas that is extremely dangerous. Annual servicing includes vital safety checks to detect leaks and confirm that your system is operating safely.
Shortened boiler lifespan
Every year without proper care increases wear on internal components. Corrosion, leaks, and untreated faults can shorten the overall life of your boiler, meaning you may need a costly replacement much sooner than expected.
Loss of warranty protection
Many manufacturers require an annual service to keep the warranty valid. Skipping a service could leave you without cover if a fault develops, leading to expensive repair bills that would otherwise have been included.

FAQs for Boiler Servicing
How much is a boiler service?
A typical boiler service with a manufacturer could cost well over £100, but at B.Brill Plumbing & Heating, we want to keep it affordable for every homeowner. That’s why we charge just £85 for a full boiler service, or you can spread the cost over 12 months to make it even easier to manage. This way, you can keep your heating system in top condition without the worry of high upfront costs.
How often should I have my boiler serviced?
We recommend arranging a boiler service once a year. This keeps your system safe, efficient, and ensures any warranty requirements are met.
How long does a boiler service take?
On average, a full service takes between 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the type and condition of your boiler.
Will servicing my boiler reduce energy bills?
Yes. A well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently, using less energy to heat your home. Over time, this can help lower your monthly bills.
Can I service my boiler myself?
No. Servicing must only be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Attempting to service a boiler yourself is unsafe and can invalidate your warranty.
What happens if issues are found during the service?
If our engineers spot any faults or areas of concern, they will explain the problem and recommend the best course of action. This could be a repair, a replacement part, or general maintenance advice.
Does my boiler service affect the warranty?
Yes. Most manufacturers require annual servicing to keep your warranty valid. Missing a service could mean losing cover on repairs or replacements.
