Why do I need a boiler service? Expert advice from The London Plumbing Company
We all know how important it is that we get our cars and other vehicles serviced regularly – but did you know that the same applies to lots of our household appliances?
Your boiler, central heating and hot water system needs an annual service, not only validating your manufacturer’s warranty but helping to identify issues early to prevent a boiler breakdown in the future.
So why is a boiler service from The London Plumbing Company beneficial for you and your South London property? Our Gas Safe Registered boiler servicing engineers advise as to how a regular boiler service and a few timely checks can easily prevent some major and potentially costly problems with your most important household appliance.
A boiler service with The London Plumbing Company spots problems early
Given that it works far harder during colder months, you could be excused for thinking that, once you’ve passed through another of these colder periods, you’re in the clear regarding the condition of your boiler.
But, just like your car, all can appear fine on the surface, while problems can develop and linger deep inside your boiler, central heating and hot water systems.
An annual boiler service with The London Plumbing Company pinpoints actual and potential problems, giving your Gas Safe Registered engineer the chance to fix issues there and then to stop them developing into much bigger headaches in the future.
If something is going to break down, it always seems to happen at the worst possible time. Avoid unexpected boiler breakdowns and book your boiler service with The London Plumbing Company’s fully-qualified South London heating and plumbing engineers, giving you reassurance that your boiler will be ready for action when you need it.
Boiler servicing costs less than installing a new boiler
Once a problem with your boiler gets past the stage when it can be repaired cost-effectively, installation of a new, replacement boiler is likely to be your only option.
Ward off unnecessary costs with a regular annual boiler service, wherever you live in South London. Call it ‘boilernomics’ if you like – a small, regular outlay on boiler servicing with The London Plumbing Company keeps your faithful hot water and central heating system working efficiently for far longer.
Our experienced team of Gas Safe Registered engineers work locally in Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Balham, Tooting and all parts of South London every day, carrying out professional boiler servicing each year that makes great financial sense.
Of course, if you own your home, the advantages of a boiler service are obvious. But they should be an even greater concern to you if you’re a landlord with a portfolio of properties covering South London.

Boiler servicing keeps Balham & South London landlords on the right side of the law
Efficient, safe and fully-functioning gas appliances, such as boilers, radiators, heaters and cookers are a major selling point to your tenants.
But you can’t simply have them fitted and then forget about them. More than 25 years ago, regulations were introduced to ensure that landlords take their responsibilities for tenants’ comfort and safety seriously.
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 put three main responsibilities on any landlord:
- Annual gas safety checks: Once a year, all gas appliances and flues need to be examined and passed as safe by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. They will then issue a Landlord Gas Safety Record confirming that all the checks needed have been done.
- Details of this Gas Safety Record are provided to tenants: You have 28 days after having your boiler service in South London carried out and gas safety record certificate issued to give details of this to your property’s occupiers. Or if you are welcoming new tenants, you need to let them see this before they move in.
- Proper maintenance of gas pipes, chimneys and appliances: Although this isn’t strictly covered by your annual gas safety check, you should have the tightness of your system and pipework checked, and visually examined yearly, where possible.
Boiler servicing helps South London properties keep their value
Whether you live in your own property in South London, or you rent it to someone else, keeping the fabric of the building and all its permanent fixtures in good working order makes all kinds of sense.
Whether it’s a flat, maisonette or house, keeping the gas boiler, heating and hot water systems fully functional, and addressing potential problems as early as possible, are wise moves at any time. But they become even more important when you want to either attract a new tenant, or if you’re looking to sell the property.
Any reputable letting agent will insist on seeing a property’s Gas Safety Record before they start marketing it to prospective tenants – so a boiler service should be one of your first priorities, no matter whether you’re a new or experienced landlord.
If you own your home, a regular boiler service at your South London property by The London Plumbing Company gives you the reassurance you need that your home’s hot water and central heating are safe and working properly. And again, a good maintenance record is a real asset when you want to sell.
