Boiler Servicing in Rochester
A boiler service is not one of those jobs you look forward to arranging, but it is one that pays for itself many times over.
Why Choose Us for Boiler Servicing in Rochester
We bring over 20 years of experience to every service appointment
That means we do not just run through a checklist and leave. We understand how different boiler models age, which components are likely to fail first, and what the early warning signs look like. During a service in a Rochester period property, for example, we pay extra attention to flue integrity and ventilation, because older buildings were not designed with modern boiler flue requirements in mind.
We are manufacturer-trained on all major brands, so your service is carried out exactly as the manufacturer specifies
This keeps your warranty valid, which is particularly important for boilers that carry 7 to 12-year extended warranties. Missing a service can void that warranty entirely, turning what should be a free repair into an expensive one.
We offer flexible appointment times, including morning and afternoon slots, and we are punctual
A service typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, and we leave your home clean and tidy.
Our Boiler Servicing Process
Visual inspection
We examine the boiler casing, flue terminal, and surrounding area for signs of damage, discolouration, or staining that might indicate a problem.
Internal component inspection
With the casing removed, we check the burner, heat exchanger, fan, spark electrode, and all seals and gaskets. We look for signs of wear, corrosion, or carbon deposits.
Flue gas analysis
We use a calibrated analyser to measure the combustion gases. The CO/CO2 ratio tells us whether the boiler is burning gas cleanly and efficiently. Readings outside the manufacturer's parameters indicate a problem that needs correcting.
Operating controls
We test the thermostat, timer, and any zone valves to ensure the heating controls are functioning correctly.
Pressure and safety checks
We verify system pressure, test the pressure relief valve, and check for any trace of carbon monoxide around the boiler and flue joints.
Service report
You receive a written report with our findings and recommendations. If anything needs attention, we explain it clearly and provide a quote. There is no pressure to proceed with any additional work.
Boiler Servicing for Rochester Properties
Period properties and older homes
Rochester has a wealth of Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian properties, particularly around the High Street, Star Hill, and the roads leading to the Castle. These homes often have boilers installed in tight spaces, flues routed through thick walls, and heating systems that have been extended over the years. A thorough annual service is especially important in these properties because there is more opportunity for things to go unnoticed.
Landlord properties
If you let a property in Rochester, your boiler must be serviced to maintain safe operation, and your gas appliances must have a valid gas safety certificate. We can carry out both during the same visit. We work with several Rochester landlords and letting agents and can set up annual reminders so you never miss a renewal.
Warranty maintenance
Many Rochester homeowners have boilers with extended warranties from Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, or Viessmann. These warranties are conditional on annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We log the service with the manufacturer to keep your warranty intact.
Pricing
A standard boiler service in Rochester costs from 80. Combined boiler service and gas safety certificate packages are available at a reduced rate. Contact us for current pricing.

More About Boiler Servicing in Rochester
An unserviced boiler is more likely to break down when you need it most, less efficient at converting gas into heat, and potentially unsafe. If you own a property in Rochester and your boiler has not been checked in the past 12 months, booking a service is the smartest thing you can do before winter. Our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out boiler services across Rochester's ME1 and ME2 postcodes throughout the year.
We service all major brands, including Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Viessmann, Baxi, and Ideal, and we are familiar with both the modern boilers in Rochester Riverside apartments and the older systems still running in the period properties around the Cathedral quarter.
