Keep Your Boiler Working Safely and Reliably
Your boiler works hard throughout the year to provide heating and hot water. Over time, components can wear, settings can change and small issues can develop into larger faults.
FM Heating & Plumbing helps customers around RM16 2PP and nearby areas with boiler servicing enquiries and related plumbing and heating work.
A regular service provides an opportunity to check the boiler, identify visible concerns and discuss any maintenance or repair work that may be needed. It can also give you a clearer understanding of the condition of your heating system.
The Benefits of Keeping Your Boiler Serviced
Regular servicing may help you:
Identify potential problems before they become more disruptive
Check the general condition of the boiler
Maintain reliable heating and hot-water performance
Discuss unusual noises, pressure changes or repeated faults
Plan repairs or replacement before an unexpected breakdown
Keep useful records of servicing and maintenance
A service is not a guarantee that a boiler will never develop a fault. Older boilers and systems with existing problems may still require repairs or further investigation.
What Happens During a Boiler Service?
The exact checks depend on the boiler, installation and the condition of the system. A service may involve:
Checking relevant components and connections
Reviewing the boiler and installation
Discussing any fault codes or issues reported by the customer
Checking for visible signs of damage or leaking
Explaining whether further repair or investigation may be needed
Looking at the boiler’s operation and performance
Answering questions about the boiler and heating system
The precise scope of work should be confirmed before the service begins.
Consider arranging a service or contacting us if:
Your boiler has not been serviced recently
The boiler displays a warning or fault code
The boiler is making unusual noises
The heating or hot water is less reliable than before
The pressure keeps changing or dropping
The boiler repeatedly switches off or needs resetting
You notice a leak around the boiler or pipework
You are moving into a property with an existing boiler
If you smell gas, leave the property immediately and contact the appropriate emergency gas service. Do not attempt to repair a gas leak yourself.

How often should a boiler be serviced?
What is included in a boiler service?
The appropriate servicing interval depends on the boiler, installation and manufacturer’s guidance. Many homeowners arrange servicing regularly as part of routine maintenance. Ask us about your specific boiler and circumstances.
The checks depend on the boiler and installation. We can explain the proposed scope of work before the service begins and discuss any issues identified during the visit.
Can you service an older boiler?
Should I service my boiler if it is working normally?
Tell us the boiler make, model and approximate age if known. We can then discuss whether the boiler is suitable for us to assess and service.
A boiler can appear to be working while developing an issue. Routine servicing may help identify concerns earlier, although it cannot prevent every future fault.
What if my boiler is showing a fault code?
What if my boiler is leaking?
Write down the exact code and tell us the boiler make and model. A service may not be the only work needed, so explain the symptoms when you contact us.
If safe, switch the boiler off, keep water away from electrical equipment and protect the surrounding area. Contact us and explain where the leak is coming from. If you smell gas, leave the property and contact the appropriate emergency gas service.
Can a boiler service find every problem?
How long does a boiler service take?
A service can identify certain visible or operational concerns, but some faults may only appear under particular conditions or require additional investigation.
The time depends on the boiler, its location, access and the checks required. We can discuss the expected arrangements when booking.
Do you provide a service record?
Can you repair problems found during a service?
Ask us what information will be provided after the service and whether any follow-up documentation is available for your boiler.
If an issue is identified, we can discuss the possible next steps and any repair work that may be suitable. Do not authorise additional work until you understand what is proposed and the expected cost.
