Keep Your Boiler Running Efficiently
We make sure your boiler is operating safely and efficiently, helping reduce the risk of future breakdowns.
What Is a Boiler Service?
A boiler service is a routine check carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. It is designed to make sure your boiler is working safely, running efficiently, and not developing any faults that could cause problems down the line.
Think of it like an MOT for your boiler. The engineer inspects the key components, tests the system, cleans internal parts, and checks for any signs of wear or damage. If something is not right, they will flag it and explain what needs attention.
Most services take around an hour, sometimes less depending on the boiler. It is a straightforward process, and in most cases you do not need to do anything to prepare other than making sure the engineer can access the boiler.
A boiler service is not the same as a repair. If your boiler has already developed a fault or stopped working, you may need a boiler repair instead. Our boiler repair page has more detail on that.
What Is Included in a Boiler Service?
It helps to know exactly what you are paying for, so here is a breakdown of what our engineers check during a standard boiler service:
- Visual inspection of the boiler and surrounding pipework
- Gas pressure and flow rate checks
- Flue and ventilation inspection
- Combustion analysis to check the boiler is burning gas correctly
- Internal component inspection and cleaning
- Check of all seals and connections for leaks
- Safety device and control testing
- Assessment of overall boiler condition and performance
If our engineer finds a minor issue during the service, they will usually be able to fix it there and then. If something more significant comes up, they will explain the problem, let you know the options, and give you a clear idea of cost before going ahead with anything.
The goal of a service is not just to tick a box. It gives you a clear picture of how your boiler is performing and whether there is anything that needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem.
How Often Should You Service Your Boiler?
Once a year is the general recommendation. Most manufacturers advise annual servicing, and in many cases it is a condition of your boiler’s warranty. If you skip a service, you could void the warranty without realising it, which can be costly if something goes wrong later.
Even if your warranty has expired, an annual service is still worth doing. Boilers work hard, especially through winter, and small issues can develop gradually. A yearly check gives your engineer the chance to catch things early, before they turn into a breakdown or an expensive repair.
If you cannot remember when your boiler was last serviced, it is probably overdue. Getting back on track with a regular schedule is straightforward, and we can help you set a reminder for next year once the service is done.
Boiler Service Costs in Solihull
A standard boiler service in Solihull typically costs between £60 and £120. The price can vary slightly depending on the type and age of your boiler, but for most homes it falls within that range.
If the engineer finds a fault during the service that needs fixing, there may be an additional cost for the repair. We will always let you know before carrying out any extra work, so there are no surprises.
When you compare the cost of a yearly service against the cost of an emergency repair or a full boiler replacement, it puts things into perspective. A small annual spend can save you hundreds, sometimes more, further down the line. It is one of the more affordable ways to protect your heating system.
Why Regular Boiler Servicing Is Important
It is easy to take your boiler for granted when everything is working. But skipping regular servicing can lead to problems that are avoidable.
Prevent breakdowns. Most boiler breakdowns are caused by faults that build up over time. A service picks these up early, before they leave you without heating or hot water.
Improve energy efficiency. A boiler that has not been serviced can lose efficiency gradually. That means it is using more gas to produce the same amount of heat, and your bills go up as a result. A clean, well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently.
Extend your boiler’s lifespan. Boilers that are serviced regularly tend to last longer. Keeping components clean and in good condition reduces the wear and tear that shortens a boiler’s life.
Maintain your warranty. Many manufacturers require annual servicing to keep the warranty valid. Missing a service could mean you are no longer covered if a major fault develops.
Stay safe. A faulty boiler can produce carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless. A service includes checks that help detect this risk early. It is not something worth leaving to chance.
Landlord Boiler Servicing and Safety Checks
If you are a landlord, you are legally required to have a gas safety check carried out on every gas appliance in your rental property once a year. This includes boilers. A valid Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) must be provided to tenants and kept on record.
Our engineers carry out landlord gas safety inspections and issue the required certificates. We can also service the boiler at the same time, which keeps everything covered in a single visit.
If you manage multiple properties, we can work with you to schedule services across your portfolio so everything stays compliant and up to date.
Failing to meet these requirements can result in fines and legal action, so it is worth staying on top of it. We make the process as simple as possible.

What Our Customers Have To Say

Our boiler broke down on one of the coldest nights in January, and Solihull Boiler Repair had an engineer out to us the very next morning. He diagnosed the fault quickly, explained exactly what needed replacing, and had it all sorted within a couple of hours. The house was warm again by lunchtime. Really impressed with how straightforward and fairly priced the whole service was.

We’d been putting off getting our old boiler looked at for months, but Solihull Boiler Repair made the whole process painless. They gave us an honest assessment, no pressure to replace anything that didn’t need replacing, and carried out the repair neatly and efficiently. They even tidied up after themselves, which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
- Karen T
Called Solihull Boiler Repair when our heating packed in just before Christmas. They were responsive from the first phone call and managed to fit us in the same week, which was a huge relief. The engineer was friendly, explained everything clearly, and the price was exactly what was quoted, no surprises. We’ve since booked them for our annual service too.
