Servicing boilers in Darlington
Darlington has a lot of larger houses running a system boiler with an unvented cylinder. On those we check the cylinder safety valves and expansion vessel as part of the service, because they need it annually too.
We service every make, not only the ones we fit. If you have a Baxi or an ATAG we are approved by both, which means the service is done to the manufacturer procedure and the warranty stays valid.

What is included
- Visual check of the boiler, the flue and the pipework around it
- Flue gas analysis with a calibrated analyser, so we know the boiler is burning cleanly
- Gas rate and working pressure checked against the manufacturer figures
- Case seals, burner, heat exchanger and ignition inspected and cleaned where needed
- Condensate trap and pipe checked, because a blocked one is the most common winter call out
- Safety devices tested
- System pressure and the expansion vessel checked and topped up
- A written service record, which is what the manufacturer wants to see to keep your warranty
A service normally takes forty five minutes to an hour. If we find a fault we tell you what it is and what it would cost to put right before we do anything, and you decide.

Questions people ask
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year. Manufacturers require an annual service to keep the warranty valid on a newer boiler, and on an older one it is the check that catches a cracked seal or a weak expansion vessel before it becomes a breakdown.
Can you service a boiler that someone else fitted?
Yes. We service every make and model, whoever installed it. We are Baxi and ATAG approved, so those two are serviced to the manufacturer procedure, but we work on Worcester, Vaillant, Ideal, Glow-worm, Viessmann and the rest just as often.
How quickly can you come out?
Usually within the week, and often sooner outside the winter rush. Tell us the day that suits and we will do our best to fit it. If the boiler has stopped altogether that is a repair rather than a service, and we treat those as urgent.
How long does a boiler service take?
Around forty five minutes to an hour for a combi. A system or heat-only boiler with a cylinder takes a little longer because there is more to check.
What is the difference between a boiler service and a gas safety check?
A service looks after the boiler so it keeps working. A gas safety check is a legal inspection of every gas appliance in a rented home and produces the CP12 certificate a landlord has to give the tenant. If you are a landlord we can do both on the same visit.
Do you cover all of Darlington?
Yes. Cockerton, Harrowgate Hill, Hummersknott, Mowden, Hurworth and Heighington and the rest of DL1 to DL3. We are based in Castle Eden and cover the whole of the North East between Newcastle and Teesside.
