What Our Boiler Servicing Covers
How Our Boiler Servicing Works
From initial contact to completed work, here's what you can expect when you choose us for boiler servicing in Ebbsfleet.
Book Your Annual Service
We recommend booking your boiler service during the summer months when demand is lower, ensuring your heating system is ready for winter. You can book online at booking.thamesboilers.co.uk or call us on 01322 788 418. We'll arrange a convenient appointment time.
Pre-Service Notification
You'll receive a confirmation email with your appointment details. On the day of your service, we'll send you a text message when your engineer is on the way, plus a tracking link so you know exactly when to expect us - no more waiting around all day.
Visual Inspection & Safety Checks
Our Gas Safe registered engineer will start with a thorough visual inspection of your boiler, checking for signs of corrosion, leaks, or damage. We'll examine the flue, check ventilation is adequate, and ensure the area around your boiler meets safety requirements.
Internal Component Testing
We'll open up your boiler and inspect internal components including the heat exchanger, burner, ignition system, and safety devices. We'll test the flame picture, check gas pressure, and verify that all sensors and controls are working correctly.
System Performance Tests
We'll test your boiler under operating conditions, checking combustion efficiency, flue gas analysis, and overall performance. This tells us if your boiler is running as efficiently as it should or if adjustments are needed.
Cleaning & Adjustments
We'll clean the burner, check and clean the condensate trap, and make any necessary adjustments to optimise performance. If we identify any worn parts that may need replacing soon, we'll advise you so you can plan ahead.
Gas Safety Certificate & Service Report
After completing your service, you'll receive an official Gas Safety Certificate (CP12 for landlords) and a detailed service report. We'll explain any findings and recommendations, and update your digital service record for future reference.
Boiler Servicing for Ebbsfleet Properties
Common Heating Issues in Ebbsfleet
Despite being new-build properties, Ebbsfleet homes do experience heating issues, often related to the modern systems installed. Pressurised heating systems, while efficient, can lose pressure due to small leaks or expansion vessel problems, and many homeowners aren't familiar with how to repressurise their systems safely. We frequently get calls from residents whose boilers have shut down due to low pressure. Combination boilers in apartments sometimes struggle when residents try to run multiple hot water outlets simultaneously - a shower and kitchen tap running together can reduce water pressure and temperature. Underfloor heating, while luxurious, requires different expertise to diagnose and repair compared to traditional radiators, and not all heating engineers are properly trained in these systems. We've also seen issues with smart thermostats that haven't been commissioned correctly during the initial installation, leaving homeowners unable to control their heating effectively. Unvented cylinder systems need annual servicing for safety and warranty compliance, but many homeowners don't realise this is a legal requirement. The relatively high density of housing in some Ebbsfleet developments means flue terminals need careful positioning to meet regulations, and we occasionally need to rectify poor installation work. Finally, new boilers are still under manufacturer warranty, but many residents don't realise that lack of annual servicing can void these warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about boiler servicing in Ebbsfleet
How often should I have my boiler serviced?
We recommend annual boiler servicing, ideally in the late summer or early autumn before the heating season begins. This ensures your boiler is working safely and efficiently when you need it most during winter. Annual servicing is also typically required to maintain manufacturer warranties and is a legal requirement for landlords on rental properties.
What's the difference between your Standard and Full service?
Our Standard Boiler Service (£120) covers all essential safety checks, combustion analysis, visual inspection, and basic maintenance - everything required for a Gas Safety Certificate and to meet warranty requirements. Our Full Boiler Service (£265) includes everything in the standard service plus a comprehensive system inspection, chemical treatment to prevent corrosion, radiator balancing, and complete system optimisation for maximum efficiency and performance.
Do you provide a Gas Safety Certificate?
Yes, all our boiler services include an official Gas Safety Certificate (also known as a CP12 for landlords). This certificate confirms that your gas appliances have been checked and found to be safe. Landlords are legally required to provide tenants with a copy of this certificate within 28 days of the inspection. We provide the certificate immediately after completing your service.
I'm a landlord - can you service all appliances in my rental property?
Absolutely. As well as boiler servicing, we can inspect and test all gas appliances in your rental property including gas cookers, fires, and water heaters. This comprehensive gas safety check ensures you meet your legal obligations as a landlord. We'll provide a CP12 certificate covering all appliances tested, and we can set up annual reminders so you never miss your legal requirement.
What happens if you find a problem during the service?
If we identify any issues during your boiler service, we'll explain the problem clearly and advise on the best course of action. For minor adjustments or small repairs that can be done immediately, we'll discuss options with you. For larger repairs requiring parts, we'll provide a separate quote. We'll always advise on the urgency - whether it's a safety concern that needs immediate attention or something to plan for in the future.
Can you service my boiler if it wasn't installed by you?
Yes, we service all makes and models of boilers regardless of who installed them. Our engineers have experience with all major brands including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal, Baxi, and many others. We follow manufacturer service schedules and have access to technical information for all common boiler types.
Will servicing really save me money on energy bills?
A well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently, and many customers do notice lower energy bills after a service. While we can't guarantee specific savings (as they depend on usage and other factors), cleaning the burner, optimising combustion, and ensuring your system is running as the manufacturer intended typically improves efficiency. Industry estimates suggest a properly serviced boiler can be up to 10% more efficient than a neglected one, which adds up over a heating season.
