Boiler Service Yeovil
Yearly servicing that catches faults before the cold does
We service boilers in Yeovil for homeowners, landlords and people letting a spare room. Each visit is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, at a price agreed before we arrive, and you get a written record of every check made.
Boiler service in Yeovil
Boiler service in Yeovil takes us from the streets around the district hospital at Higher Kingston to the terraces near Pen Mill station. If you let a room in a house near the hospital, or rent out a flat just off Reckleford, the law counts you as a landlord for gas safety. That means a check every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer and a record you keep. For owner-occupiers, a yearly service is not a legal must, but most manufacturers ask for one to keep the boiler warranty valid. The HSE page on who is a landlord sets out exactly who is covered.
An annual boiler service is easy to book from Westfield and Brympton to Brimsmore and Wyndham Park.
The boilers we service here
Most boilers we service here are gas combis in the post-war semis and newer estate homes, many still under warranty. Older terraces near the centre often have regular boilers with cylinders, and some Ham stone cottages in the villages run on oil. A few older homes still have a back boiler behind a gas fire.

The servicing we do most around here
First services on newer estates
Families on the big new developments such as Brimsmore and Wyndham Park often have a boiler still under its first manufacturer warranty. Most warranties need the first service within 12 months of installation. We complete the service record and benchmark log so you have proof if you ever need to make a claim.
Oil boiler services in the villages
Some homes in the villages outside town run on oil. An oil service is a different job from a gas one, with a new nozzle and filter, a clean of the combustion chamber and a check on the tank and fuel line. Our OFTEC registered engineers carry the right parts for common burners.
Checks for homes with a lodger
More homeowners are letting a spare room, and the gas safety rules apply to them too. We carry out the annual gas safety check on the boiler and any gas hob or fire, issue the record, and service the boiler at the same visit so everything is covered in one go.

Booking a service that keeps your warranty valid
If your boiler is under warranty, the service has to be done every year by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the record kept. Check the date of the last service and book a few weeks ahead, as late services can give the manufacturer a reason to refuse a claim.
Have the boiler's paperwork ready, including the benchmark log if you have one. Make sure we can reach the boiler and the flue terminal. If the boiler is in a loft, the loft needs safe access with a ladder, boards and a light.
Back boilers behind gas fires are still found in a few older homes here. The fire and boiler need checking together and the visit takes longer, so mention it when you book. If you are on oil, book in the summer, when engineers are less busy. Our page on oil boiler servicing explains what the engineer checks.

Boiler installation YeovilBoiler Service Yeovil FAQs
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year is the standard advice from manufacturers, and it is what most warranties require. Leaving it longer lets small faults build up, such as worn seals or a blocked condensate trap. For the full picture, read how often a boiler should be serviced.
Is a gas safety check the same as a service?
No. A gas safety check confirms appliances are safe to use and is what landlords legally need each year. A service goes further, cleaning and adjusting the boiler so it runs efficiently and lasts longer. Most landlords book both together in one visit to save time.
Can a gas safe engineer service my oil boiler too?
Gas Safe registration covers gas work only. For oil, you need an OFTEC registered technician, as the burner, fuel line and tank are different. We have both, so tell us your fuel type when booking and the right engineer will come out.
When should a new-build boiler have its first service?
Most manufacturers ask for the first service within 12 months of installation, then once a year after that. Check your warranty paperwork for the exact terms. If you are not sure when the boiler was fitted, the installation date is usually on the benchmark log or the warranty registration, and we can help you find it.
Can you service the boiler if it is in the loft?
Yes, as long as the loft is safe to work in. That means a fixed or secure ladder, boarding from the hatch to the boiler and a working light. If any of that is missing, tell us when booking. We may be able to work around it, or we can quote to add proper access.
