Regular servicing helps identify and fix potential issues before they become major problems. It also maintains energy efficiency, reducing energy bills. During a service, engineers check for gas leaks, carbon monoxide emissions, and other hazards to ensure safety. Additionally, annual servicing helps keep your boiler warranty valid, as most manufacturers require it.
If you notice any unusual noises, leaks, or drops in performance, you should schedule a service sooner.
It’s crucial to act quickly in a gas emergency. These are the steps you need to take to stay safe:
– Get fresh air immediately; ventilate area
– Turn off the gas emergency control valve (gas emergency shut off valve) at the meter.
– Extinguish all naked flames and don’t smoke.
– Don’t operate electrical switches (including turning light switches on or off) because this can ignite escaping gas.
– Contact the relevant National Gas Emergency service number for your area. (0800 111 999)
– If they identify an issue with any gas appliances, follow their advice concerning the use of the equipment. Where advised, contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to fix the appliance and check it’s safe. (THATS US!)
– If you’re feeling unwell, visit your GP or hospital immediately and let them know you may have been exposed to carbon monoxide.
– Don’t turn the gas supply on again until it’s been checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
One of the first indicators of a gas leak is often the smell, however there are some physical symptoms that may be experienced.
The most common symptoms include:
– Feeling lightheaded
– Nausea
– Dizziness
– Headaches
If you suspect a gas leak and have any of the above symptoms, please go outside into fresh air immediately and call the appropriate gas emergency helpline. (0800 111 999)

Client testimonials
Jordan serviced our gas boiler. He was very professional and did the work In good time . He kept me informed of any delays. He did the job the day after calling him which was great. Jordan was very pleasant and I would highly recommend him.
Sue Weller
Jordan responded at short notice to fix a leaking pipe connection which was dripping water through the new kitchen ceiling. It had been installed badly by another plumber only weeks earlier. Jordan also rectified the outside condensing pipe (also done by the other plumber) which not only leaked but wasn’t regulation anyway. Jordan was very professional and polite and I’ll use him for all my heating/plumbing in the future. Already recommended him to my neighbour.

In the decided to replace the boiler. Jordan provided an excellent service. He fitted all the new pipework and sourced the new boiler. All excellent.

Saved our skin and stopped us freezing to death a couple of times right over the coldest snap of the year around Jan 2nd/3rd. Prompt to answer phone, only took money after the whole job was done (fixing old boiler then, when it gave up the ghost, installing a new one at very short notice), really friendly. Highly recommended!
