Annual service

Why an annual service is worth booking

A yearly service is what keeps most manufacturer warranties valid, and it is the point at which small faults get caught before they turn into a January breakdown.

It is also a safety check. The case comes off, combustion is measured on the flue gas analyser, the gas rate and working pressure are checked against the data badge, and the flue, seals, ventilation and gas supply are all inspected.

Southgate is a short run from our Barnet base, so services here are easy for us to schedule — including grouped appointments for landlords with more than one property in N14.

What your Southgate boiler service includes

  • Case off and internal inspection of the appliance and installation
  • Combustion analysis on the flue gas analyser, plus gas rate and working pressure
  • Flue integrity, seals and ventilation checked
  • Gas tightness test and safety device operation
  • Heat exchanger and condensate run cleared where needed
  • System pressure, expansion vessel charge and controls operation
  • Written record of the readings taken and anything developing

Southgate homes and their systems

Southgate's inter-war housing frequently still runs its original heating layout, sometimes with a conventional boiler and loft tanks, sometimes converted to a combi at some point in the past. Both need servicing, and both throw up different things.

Where a system has been converted badly — undersized pipework, missing filtration, no inhibitor — the service is the moment that gets flagged, honestly, with what it would take to put right.

Landlords and gas safety

If you let a property in Southgate, gas appliances must be checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We carry out the check, provide the record and can coordinate access directly with your tenant.

What happens if we find a fault

You are told what it is, how urgent it is and what the options are. Nothing is replaced without your agreement, and where a repair is reasonable we recommend the repair.

Best time to book

Late summer and early autumn are the quietest period and the easiest time to get the slot you want. Booking then also means any issue is fixed before you rely on the heating.
