Our Servicing Process
Take a look at the thoroughness of our boiler servicing. We strip down the boiler, clean the essential components, and ensure everything is running safely and efficiently.
Signs Your Boiler Needs a Service
Many Hull homeowners put off servicing until something goes wrong. Here are the warning signs that mean it's time to book your annual boiler service.
It's Been Over 12 Months
If your last service was more than a year ago, your manufacturer warranty may be at risk. Book now to stay protected.
Yellow Flame Instead of Blue
A healthy gas flame should be crisp blue. A yellow or orange flame can indicate incomplete combustion and a potential carbon monoxide risk.
Unusual Smells
A faint smell of gas or a metallic odour near your boiler is a serious warning sign. Turn off the boiler and call immediately.
Increased Energy Bills
If your gas bills are creeping up without a change in usage, your boiler may be losing efficiency and needs a service.
Strange Noises
Gurgling, banging, or whistling from your boiler or pipework often means air in the system, limescale build-up, or a failing pump.
Boiler Display Shows 'Service'
Many modern boilers (especially Ideal) have a built-in service reminder. If yours is showing this, it's time to book.

Why Servicing Is a Safety Issue
A poorly maintained boiler can produce carbon monoxide—a silent, invisible killer. Regular servicing includes a flue gas analysis to ensure your boiler is burning gas safely and efficiently. We also check the flue integrity to ensure no combustion products are entering your home. An annual service is the single most important thing you can do to protect your family.
Aftercare & Warranty Protection
After your service, you'll receive a completed service record in your boiler logbook. This is essential for maintaining your manufacturer warranty—whether it's Glow-worm, ATAG, Ideal, or Vaillant.
We'll also flag any components showing signs of wear so you can plan ahead, and remind you when your next service is due.
