Boiler Service Newton Abbot
Annual servicing for owners and landlords
We service boilers in Newton Abbot homes and rented properties. A Gas Safe registered engineer carries out every visit, checks the boiler is safe and running efficiently, and leaves you a written record you can keep for warranty claims or a future sale.
Boiler service in Newton Abbot
Boiler service in Newton Abbot is a yearly must for landlords and a sensible habit for everyone else. If you let a terrace near the racecourse or just off the Penn Inn roundabout, every gas appliance you provide needs checking each year, and tenants must get a copy of the record. Letting several homes? We can line their renewal dates up into one round of visits. If you work shifts at the community hospital on Jetty Marsh Road, tell us when you are home and we will try to fit around it. Teignbridge Council's renting out property page lists gas safety alongside electrical checks, energy performance and smoke and carbon monoxide alarms as core duties for anyone letting a home.
Our gas safe engineer team covers Milber, Buckland, Highweek and Kingsteignton.
The boilers we service here
Most homes here have gas combis or system boilers, with regular boilers and loft tanks still common in older period houses and terraces. Gas fires are still found in plenty of front rooms, often decades old. Many estate semis have already had a combi conversion, so the old cylinder is gone and the service focuses on the combi itself.

Service visits we make most here
Combis on the post-war estates
Many homes in Milber and Buckland have a combi in the kitchen or airing cupboard. A service covers the flue, the plate heat exchanger and the condensate trap. South West Water says most of its supply is soft or moderately soft, so sludge from old radiators tends to cause more trouble than scale.
Regular boilers in the big period houses
Larger period houses on Wolborough Hill often still run a regular boiler with a cylinder and tanks in the loft. We service the boiler, look at the feed and expansion tank and check the cylinder thermostat works, so the hot water is heated safely and not wastefully.
Paperwork for a sale
If you are selling, a recent service record and a gas safety check reassure buyers and their surveyors. We can service the boiler and check the other gas appliances in one visit, so the paperwork is ready for your sale pack.

Planning your annual service
Spring and summer are the easy months to book. If the service turns up a worn part, there is time to order and fit it before the heating goes on full time in the autumn.
For rented homes, give the tenant notice and tell us if they work shifts. We can arrange the time with them directly and send the record to you and your agent. Keep a note of each property's renewal date, because the landlord gas safety check has to be done within 12 months of the last one.
Clear the space around the boiler and any gas fire, and dig out the last service record if you have it. If you have noticed anything odd, such as a yellow flame on the hob, soot marks around a fire or the boiler losing pressure, tell the engineer at the start. A carbon monoxide alarm in each room with a gas appliance is worth having too.

How long do I have to give my tenant the gas safety record?
Existing tenants must get a copy within 28 days of the check, and new tenants before they move in. Keep each record for at least two years. We email it to you, and to your agent if you use one.
Can you service the boiler and the gas fire at the same time?
Yes. We can check every gas appliance in the house on one visit, including fires, hobs and the boiler. For a rented home that also covers what the annual landlord gas safety check needs.
My boiler is only two years old. Does it still need a service?
Yes. New boilers need servicing too, and missing a year can void the manufacturer warranty. It also catches early faults while the parts are still covered.
Can you fit a magnetic filter during the service?
Yes. If your system has no filter, we can fit one on the same visit and clean it out at each annual service after that. A magnetic filter catches the black sludge that builds up in older radiators before it reaches the boiler's heat exchanger, which is one of the most common reasons boilers fail early.
Can you check a gas fire that has not been used for years?
Yes, and please do not light it until it has been checked. We test the fire, look at the flue or chimney for blockages such as nests or fallen debris, and tell you whether it is safe to use. If it is not, we cap it off so nobody turns it on by mistake.
