Boiler Servicing

Regular boiler servicing is key to keeping your heating system safe, efficient, and long-lasting. Louis Greetham Plumbing & Heating provides comprehensive boiler servicing in Spalding for all makes and models of gas boilers. During a service visit, our Gas Safe registered engineer will carefully inspect and tune up your boiler. We clean critical components (like the burner and heat exchanger), check for any gas or water leaks, test safety devices such as the pressure relief valve, and check that the flue is clear of obstructions. This annual maintenance helps your boiler run smoothly and can catch potential issues early before they turn into costly breakdowns.
An annual boiler service not only improves safety by detecting problems like carbon monoxide leaks or faulty seals, it also keeps your boiler operating at peak efficiency. A well-maintained boiler uses fuel more economically, which can save you money on energy bills. In addition, most boiler manufacturers require yearly servicing by a qualified engineer to keep your warranty valid. We will stamp your service book or provide documentation as needed for your records, giving you proof that your boiler has been serviced each year. Our team works with all types of boilers including combi boilers, system boilers, and conventional boilers.
- Based in Spalding, we also serve Peterborough and surrounding areas including Pinchbeck, Bourne, Holbeach, Stamford, Boston, and Long Sutton.

Booking a boiler service with us is straightforward, and we can schedule it at a time that suits you. Many of our customers choose to service their boilers in the summer or early autumn, before the colder months start, so that everything is ready for winter. If you’re a landlord, we can also assist with annual gas safety checks and certifications for your rental properties at the same time as a boiler service. With our professional servicing, you’ll have peace of mind that your heating system is safe and prepared to keep your home warm all year round.
It’s generally recommended to service your boiler once a year. Annual servicing is ideal to maintain efficiency, safety, and to fulfill any warranty requirements. Gas boilers should not go unchecked for more than 12 months. By servicing yearly, small issues can be corrected before they cause a breakdown, especially prior to the winter season when your boiler works the hardest.
A standard boiler service includes a series of inspections and tests. Our engineer will typically:
- Check the boiler’s exterior and interior components for leaks or corrosion.
- Clean or replace the burner, and clean the heat exchanger if needed to remove soot or debris.
- Verify the gas pressure and flow are correct, and adjust if necessary.
- Inspect and test safety controls (thermostats, pressure relief valve, flame sensor, etc.).
- Check that the flue and ventilation are in good condition and expelling gases properly.
- Fire up the boiler to confirm it’s operating correctly (checking flame quality, listening for unusual noises, etc.).
After servicing, we’ll inform you of any issues found or parts that might need future attention.
Usually about an hour is enough for a thorough boiler service. It can vary slightly depending on the type of boiler and if any minor repairs or cleaning is required. We dedicate the time needed to do all the proper checks without rushing. In most cases, you’ll have your boiler serviced and back to normal operation in well under two hours.
Yes, definitely. Even if your boiler is running and you haven’t noticed any problems, servicing is preventive care that keeps it that way. The cost of an annual service is relatively low, especially compared to emergency repair bills or higher gas bills from an inefficient boiler. Servicing can catch wear-and-tear issues early, maintain safe operation, and give you peace of mind. Think of it like servicing a car – you do it to maintain performance and safety, instead of waiting for something to break before taking action.
