Boiler service price Information, help and advice on many gas related subjects from gas fires to domestic appliances

[Speck1965]

Been quoted £80.00 for a basic boiler service.
Is this a reasonable price?

Hi,

A little high for the midlands, but if in London for example prolly going rate.I would say £50 ish for a wall/floor mounted,£70 for a BBU.

Can anyone tell me what a "basic" service is, compared to a good or full one

[htg engineer]

If anyone offers different levels of servicing - they're a cowboy outfit - tell them where to get off. Unless it includes adding/checking inhibitors etc etc.

A service is a service and is required to ensure the safety and prolong the life of gas appliances. It should include the cleaning and inspection of parts and inspection of flue, flow tests and spillage tests - replacement of gaskets, flue gas analysis (where necessary) simple as that.

You need to supply more info like what area you live (obviously cost changes around the country). And you should ask what a basic service is? I have never of different levels of service but maybe they are trying to sell you some useless extras.

Also the cost can/will go up depending on how many gas appliances they service.

Just paid £52 for ours. Same chap has done it for years. Reliable and strips and cleans everything, refits and meters and checks all joints /flue etc. East Midlands area if any help to you.
