What a proper service gives you
Safer routine checks
We inspect the flue, controls and key safety points during the visit.

Fewer nasty surprises
Regular servicing helps spot developing faults before they shut heating down.
Routine checks that help prevent worse trouble
Boilers usually give a bit of warning before a full breakdown, but it is easy to miss until the heating quits at the worst time. A routine service lets us check how the appliance is running, spot early wear and pick up issues such as leaks, corrosion or safety concerns before they become far more disruptive. We inspect the boiler's overall condition, controls, safety devices, flue and combustion performance, system pressure and visible signs of leakage or deterioration. When you book Taylor Plumbing and Heating, you get a visit aimed at keeping the boiler safe and dependable, not a rushed tick-box exercise.
Know what a service does and what it does not
A service is not the same as a repair visit, and it is not the same as a landlord gas safety inspection either. Servicing is preventive maintenance. If we find a fault or a worn part, we will explain what needs further work and why. If you are a landlord needing an annual record, that sits under a CP12 inspection. Before we arrive, it helps to make the boiler accessible and let us know about any recent pressure drops, odd noises or hot-water problems. Choosing Taylor Plumbing and Heating means you leave the appointment knowing how the boiler is performing and whether any follow-up work is worth planning.
Frequently asked questions
What is usually included in a boiler service?
We check the boiler's condition, controls, safety devices, flue and combustion performance, system pressure and visible signs of leakage or corrosion. The exact scope depends on the appliance, but the aim is safe, dependable operation and early fault spotting.
Should a domestic boiler be serviced every year?
Regular annual servicing is a sensible way to keep track of wear, safety and performance. It helps pick up developing issues before they become disruptive, especially if the boiler is used heavily through the colder months.
Is a boiler service the same as a repair or a CP12 check?
No. A service is preventive maintenance. A repair visit is for an existing fault, and a CP12 inspection is a landlord gas safety check. One appointment can lead to another, but they have different purposes and should not be mixed up.
