Boiler Servicing London | Annual Boiler Service & Gas Safe Engineers | ARA Services Ltd

Boiler Servicing in London
Proper annual checks, clear advice, no waffle

A boiler service should feel simple: a qualified engineer checks safety, performance, and obvious wear — and you get a straight answer on what’s fine, what’s starting to go, and what to keep an eye on. If you want the boiler to run calmly through winter, annual boiler servicing is the habit that usually pays back.

Safety-wise, a yearly check is where we often catch the “small” stuff before it becomes a proper panic — especially when temperatures drop. If you’ve ever wondered why boilers trip more often in winter, it’s usually a mix of pressure, airflow, condensate and strain showing up at the worst time. And if anything ever smells off, don’t second-guess it — here’s what to do if you smell gas.

Boiler servicing guides (quick, useful)

Use these if you’re comparing price, checking what’s included, or deciding whether it’s worth booking this year.

If you want a quick overview of what a proper service involves across different setups, start with servicing different boiler types. Then read what happens if you don’t service your boiler and how often you should service your boiler.

What’s actually included in a boiler service

Not every service is the same. We focus on safety first, then performance and longevity — and we explain what we find in normal language.

Safety checks & basic combustion testing

We check key safety points, seals and ventilation, and look for signs that something isn’t burning/venting as it should.

Safety first, always

Inspection for leaks, wear & obvious faults

We look for water leaks, pressure issues, corrosion, and anything that commonly turns into an emergency later.

Spot issues early

Performance checks & system health

We check operation, controls and heating response, and flag signs of sludge/dirty system that can shorten boiler life.

Protect the boiler long-term

Clear summary + next-step advice

You get a simple explanation: what’s okay, what needs sorting, and what can wait — with no scare tactics.

Why annual boiler servicing is worth it (most of the time)

Servicing is about reducing surprises: catch small issues early, keep things safe, and help the boiler run efficiently. If you’ve had breakdowns before, the service is often where you spot the pattern.

  • Gas Safe registered engineers (London call-outs)
  • Honest advice on wear, parts, and what’s actually urgent
  • Checks designed to reduce winter breakdown risk
  • Respectful, clean work in occupied homes

Boiler service cost and what changes the price

Prices can vary depending on boiler type, access, condition, and whether you want extra checks (e.g., system health, controls issues). If you’re comparing different setups ahead of an upgrade, use combi vs system boiler cost as the quick reference. If you’re price-checking properly, use the guide below.
