Boiler service in Bath
Boiler service in Bath often means shared houses in the streets behind Moorland Road, where one boiler is doing the work for a whole household of students. If you let rooms near the Lower Bristol Road, an annual check on the pump and diverter valve saves a lot of grief in the middle of term. For homes in the roads up by the Royal United Hospital, or flats close to SouthGate and the station, parking is the first thing we sort, so tell us about permits or loading bays when you book. Licensed landlords can check what paperwork they need on the council's HMO licensing pages.
Our gas safe engineer visits run from Weston and Larkhall to Bear Flat and Odd Down.
The boilers we service here
Most boilers we service in the centre are wall-hung combis squeezed into cupboards in converted flats, plus system boilers with cylinders in whole townhouses. The southern suburbs add older regular boilers still running from loft tanks. Long concealed flue runs and limescale are the two findings that come up again and again.

Servicing jobs that fill our diary here
Summer checks between student lets
Most student tenancies change over in the summer, and that empty spell is the easiest time to service the boiler and renew the gas safety record. We work through keys left with you or your agent, test every appliance, and have the paperwork ready before the new group of tenants moves in.
Boilers with flues hidden in ceilings
Converted flats often have a flue running through a ceiling or boxing to reach an outside wall. Gas Safe guidance treats a concealed flue with no way to inspect it as at risk. We check what is visible, tell you where hatches are needed, and can fit them so future services are straightforward.
Scale on the hot water side
Hard water leaves limescale in a combi's plate heat exchanger, and the first sign is hot water that surges and drops. During a service we watch how the hot water behaves, check any scale reducer fitted, and tell you if the heat exchanger needs descaling or replacing before it fails.

Getting a service booked around tenants, agents and flats
For a let property, the landlord has to give tenants reasonable notice before a gas safety check, and in practice that means at least 24 hours in writing. If an agent manages the house, send us their contact and the expiry date of the current record so we can line the visit up properly.
You can renew the gas safety record up to two months before it runs out and keep the original expiry date, so there is no reason to cut it fine in the busy autumn weeks. Summer bookings for student houses fill quickly, so it pays to book by the spring.
In a flat, the engineer needs to reach the boiler, the flue terminal and the gas meter. If the meter is in a shared basement or a locked cupboard, sort out the key in advance. For homeowners, our guide on how often a boiler should be serviced explains why once a year matters.
Why choose Wisp for boiler service in Bath
Certificates done properly
We issue a landlord gas safety certificate covering every gas appliance, flue and the boiler in one visit.
Booked around tenants
Shared houses are busy. We give notice through you or your agent so access is sorted before the engineer turns up.
Flue checks in tight spots
Many converted flats have long horizontal flues through ceiling voids. We inspect what we can reach and tell you if a flue needs access panels.
Homeowners too
Not a landlord? An annual boiler service keeps the warranty valid on most new boilers and catches small faults before winter.

Boiler installation BathBoiler Service Bath FAQs
My student house has five tenants. Is the yearly gas check enough?
The annual gas safety check is the legal minimum for any let. A licensed HMO also has to meet the council's licence conditions, which include producing the certificate. We suggest pairing the safety check with a full service so the boiler is cleaned and tested, not just checked for safety.
Can you service the boiler in a basement flat with no outside wall?
Yes. Basement flats often have a fanned flue running to a lightwell or the rear of the building. We test the flue gas, check the terminal clearances and confirm the boiler is burning cleanly, then talk you through anything we find.
What does a service cost?
We agree a fixed price before the visit, so there is no surprise on the day. Landlord visits that include a gas fire or hob as well as the boiler take longer and cost a little more. See our guide to boiler service cost for what affects the figure.
Does a house shared by three or four students still need a licence?
The council's additional licensing scheme for three and four sharers ended on 31 December 2023. Mandatory licensing still covers houses with five or more people from more than one household. Whatever the licence position, every let needs a gas safety check every 12 months, and we recommend a full service at the same visit.
Can you service the boiler while the tenants are away for the summer?
Yes, as long as you or your agent can give us access. Empty houses are actually easier, because the engineer can run the heating and hot water fully without disturbing anyone. We leave the property as we found it, with the gas safety record and service report sent to you the same day.
