Landlord Boiler Service - Keep Your Property Safe and Compliant
Annual Boiler Service for Safe, Efficient & Reliable Heating
Annual Landlord Boiler Service
As a landlord, ensuring your tenants have a safe and reliable heating system is part of your legal duty. A regular landlord boiler service helps prevent costly breakdowns, improves energy efficiency, and keeps your property compliant with Gas Safety Regulations.
GET IN TOUCHWhat Is a Landlord Boiler Service?
A landlord boiler service is a professional inspection and maintenance check carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The service ensures your boiler is working efficiently and safely, helping you avoid unexpected repairs or dangerous faults like gas leaks and carbon monoxide issues.
During a service, the engineer will:
- Inspect and clean the boiler’s internal components
- Check gas pressure and flow levels
- Test for leaks, corrosion, and wear
- Ensure the flue and ventilation are safe
- Verify the system’s overall performance
After the service, you’ll receive a service report confirming that the boiler is in good working condition.
Why Landlords Should Service Boilers Annually
Regular servicing isn’t just recommended - it’s essential. Here’s why:
- Legal Compliance: While annual Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) are mandatory, a separate annual boiler service ensures your system meets ongoing safety standards.
- Prevent Breakdowns: Small faults can turn into expensive repairs if ignored.
- Save Money: A well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently, lowering energy bills.
- Protect Your Tenants: Keeps the property warm, safe, and comfortable all year round.
- Prolong Boiler Life: Routine servicing extends the lifespan of your boiler.
Legal Responsibilities for Landlords
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must:
- Arrange an annual Gas Safety Check for all gas appliances
- Use only Gas Safe registered engineers
- Provide tenants with a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)
Although a boiler service is not a legal substitute for a CP12, it’s highly recommended to do both at the same time - saving time, money, and paperwork.

How Much Does a Landlord Boiler Service Cost?
The cost of a landlord boiler service is £96, depending on your location and boiler type.
Our combined boiler service and CP12 packagee is £144 which can be more cost-effective for landlords managing multiple properties.
When to Book a Boiler Service
It’s best to book your boiler service in late summer or early autumn, before the cold weather hits. This ensures your heating system is ready for winter and reduces the risk of tenant complaints or emergency callouts.
