Interim Boiler Service
Similar to servicing a car, an interim boiler service should be carried out by a trained and Gas Safe engineer every 12 months. We will run standard health checks on your boiler, rectify any issues, and provide a report. This is the most popular boiler service we offer. It ensures your boiler is running smoothly and performing as it should be.
An interim boiler service takes anything up to 60 minutes to complete.

They will also thoroughly clean the major parts, ensuring the optimal functionality of your boiler for the years ahead. Similar to our standard interim service, a detailed report will be provided for your records.
A full strip-down service typically takes up to 2.5 hours.
