Boiler servicing in Tenterden
Annual boiler servicing by Gas Safe registered engineers based in Tenterden — keeping your boiler safe, keeping it efficient, and keeping your manufacturer guarantee valid.
Why it matters
The importance of boiler servicing
Why should you have your boiler serviced regularly? It isn't just about keeping the boiler running well. An annual service is an essential part of maintaining it — and it's the single best protection against the things that go badly wrong.
A service checks for carbon monoxide, which you cannot see, smell or taste. It also catches escaping gas, which over time could be disastrous for everyone in the building. Beyond safety, servicing helps prevent breakdowns and prolongs the life of the boiler, which keeps you away from the expensive repairs that are never welcome — and never convenient.
There's a practical reason too: almost every manufacturer, Worcester Bosch included, requires an annual service by a registered engineer for the guarantee to remain valid. Miss one and a repair that should have been covered becomes a bill.
What we do
What's included in a service
A proper service, not a five-minute look and a sticker.
-
Safety checks first
Combustion analysis, flue and ventilation checks, and a check for signs of carbon monoxide or gas escape.
-
Strip and clean
The burner, heat exchanger and condensate trap cleaned and checked — where most efficiency quietly disappears.
-
Pressures and controls
Gas pressure, system pressure, expansion vessel charge, seals and controls all checked and adjusted as needed.
-
Written record
A record of the service for your guarantee — and a CP12 gas safety record too if you're a landlord.

Replacements
Boiler replacements in Tenterden
There are several different types of condensing boiler, and which one suits your home depends on how many bathrooms you have, your water pressure, and how the house is used day to day. We'll talk you through the options honestly rather than simply fitting whichever unit we have most of.
Current building regulations require any replacement or new gas-fired boiler to be a condensing boiler. That's not just a box to tick — condensing boilers recover heat that older units sent straight up the flue, so they're substantially more efficient and should reduce your heating bills.
As Worcester Bosch Accredited Installers we can register manufacturer guarantees of up to 12 years on eligible new boilers, which is longer than a non-accredited installer is able to offer.

Common questions
Boiler servicing questions
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year. Almost every manufacturer requires an annual service by a registered engineer for the guarantee to stay valid, and it's also the interval recommended by Gas Safe Register. If you're a landlord you'll need an annual gas safety check as well, which we can carry out at the same visit.
How long does a boiler service take?
Usually somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour for a standard domestic boiler, depending on the make, its age and how accessible it is. We'll tell you if anything needs attention before we do it, not after.
Do you service oil boilers as well as gas?
Yes. We're OFTEC registered as well as Gas Safe registered, so we service oil-fired boilers and oil tanks — which matters in rural Kent, where plenty of properties are off the gas grid.
My boiler seems fine. Is a service still worth it?
Yes, for two reasons. A boiler can be operating perfectly and still be producing carbon monoxide from a partially blocked flue — you would have no way of knowing. And skipping services usually invalidates the manufacturer guarantee, so a fault that should have been free to fix becomes a bill.
Which areas do you cover for boiler servicing?
We're based in Tenterden and cover Ashford, Kingsnorth, Newbarn, Pluckley Thorne, Waltham, Wichling and many other areas across Kent. See areas we cover, or just ask — we travel further than the list suggests.
