Boiler servicing

Your boiler combines the gas, water and electricity in your home to provide hot water and heat through your central heating system. Seeing as it has such an important role in your home, it is integral that boiler maintenance is kept on top of. If 12 months have passed since your boiler service then you will need to book yourself in for another one. Broken boilers can do more than just put a hole in your wallet.

The secretion of carbon monoxide from a leaky pipe can be deadly, including risk of explosion or being set alight. It is important to ensure that your boiler receives a regular service.

Landlords are also required to provide a gas safety certificate each year for tenants living in their property. By law, under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, it is a Landlord's responsibility to get a Gas Safety Certificate every twelve months. This must be obtained from a Gas Safe Registered engineer for all pipework, gas appliances and flues installed at your property. It is also recommended that domestic property owners regularly have all gas-related items checked.

The requirements for all these include all pipework, appliances and flues to be checked and confirmed as safe, and they must be maintained to pass the checks. The boiler and appliances will be condemned if they do not pass the checks. A notice sticker will then be placed on the front of the boiler or appliance as a warning of its failure in the check.

A Gas Safe Engineer must carry out the checks, and this work will include:

• A description of the location of each of the appliances or flue check.
• The name, registration and signature of the engineer carrying out the check.
• The date it was checked.
• The address the checks were performed at.
• Any defect(s) that is identified and any remedial works required.
• A statement confirming the safety checks that were completed comply with the regulations of the Gas Safety Regulations 1998.
