In the UK, boilers are required most and work hardest in the winter months. This means that, if they are going to fail, they are most likely to do so when you need them the most. Therefore it makes sense to book a boiler service in the lead up to the winter months but, if it has been nearly a year since your last service, then you should arrange one immediately.

The engineer will inspect the frame before removing the front of the boiler to inspect its internal components. If necessary, they will clean inside the boiler.

A normal service takes between 30 and 45 minutes however is a boiler is difficult to access or has not been serviced for some time, it may take longer. If a fault is found it will obviously take additional time to fix.
