Your boiler works hard every day, and in a Coventry winter it works harder still. A yearly boiler service is the simplest way to keep it safe, efficient and reliable, and to catch small faults before they turn into a breakdown on the coldest morning of the year. At Cathedral Gas Services, our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out thorough boiler servicing in Coventry and the surrounding areas, with clear findings and no jargon.

A boiler is a gas appliance with moving parts, safety devices and a flue, and all of it wears over time. Servicing it once a year does four jobs at once.
A faulty boiler can leak carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. Your engineer checks the flue, seals and combustion so problems are found early.
Dirty or badly adjusted components make a boiler burn more gas for the same heat. A clean, well-tuned boiler wastes less and keeps your bills down.
Most breakdowns start as small, fixable faults. A service spots worn parts and low pressure before they leave you without heating or hot water.
Many manufacturers expect an annual service by a Gas Safe engineer to keep a boiler warranty valid, so a missed service can be an expensive mistake.
Every boiler is different, but a proper service follows the same careful routine. Your engineer will:
Inspect the boiler and surrounding area for leaks, corrosion and signs of damage
Check the flue and ventilation to confirm waste gases are escaping safely
Test the gas pressure and burner, and check that combustion is clean and efficient
Clean the key internal components, including the heat exchanger where needed
Test safety devices, controls and the thermostat to confirm they respond correctly
Check the system pressure and look over visible pipework and seals
When the visit is finished, we explain what we found in plain English. If a part is wearing out, we say so and talk through your options, whether that is a quick boiler repair or, for an older boiler, whether it is worth reading our guide on boiler repair or replace. You decide what happens next.
Most services take between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the age, make and condition of your boiler. Newer boilers tend to be quicker. Older units, or those that have not been serviced for a while, can take longer. We arrive on time, protect your floors and leave the area tidy.
How Long Does a
Boiler Service
Take?
Signs Your Boiler Is
Due a Service
Ideally you book a service once a year, whatever the boiler is doing.
But some warning signs mean it should not wait.
Strange noises such as banging, whistling or gurgling
A yellow or orange flame instead of a steady blue one
Dark staining or soot around the boiler
Pressure that keeps dropping, or radiators that stay cold
Heating bills rising with no change in how you use your home
If you smell gas or suspect a carbon monoxide leak, leave the property, open windows and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Do not wait for a routine appointment.

Book your annual service with a Gas Safe engineer in Coventry.
Once a year. An annual service keeps the boiler safe and efficient and is usually required to keep the manufacturer
warranty valid.
Homeowners are not legally required to service a boiler, though it is strongly recommended. Landlords must have gas appliances checked annually and hold a valid gas safety certificate.
A service is a planned check and clean that prevents problems. A repair fixes a fault that has already happened. A service often finds issues early enough that a repair is small.
An adult should be present so the engineer can access the boiler and talk through the results with you.
Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card, which shows what they are qualified to work on. You can also check the register online.
