Annual Boiler Servicing in Highworth

Working from SN6 7NS means Highworth jobs are on my doorstep, so there is no long drive to plan around. Tell me which days suit you when you get in touch. If anything comes up during the service, being local makes it easy to talk through the next steps.

Yes. Regular boilers with a hot water cylinder and loft tanks can be serviced like any other boiler, and on these systems the cylinder controls, the motorised valves and the feed and expansion tank in the loft are also worth considering. Let me know if loft access is awkward.

A service focuses on whether the boiler is running safely and as designed. That said, if it is short cycling, struggling to heat the house or running flat out all the time, those are signs the sizing may be off, and it is worth asking about so you can decide whether to look into it further.

Yes. Problems on modern combis tend to build quietly, such as a partly blocked condensate trap, a weakening expansion vessel or a sensor drifting. A service is a chance to spot those before they cause a lockout. Most manufacturers also expect yearly servicing as a condition of their cover.

Late summer or early autumn is ideal. The boiler has had a rest, you are not relying on it for heating yet, and if a part needs ordering there is time to fit it before the weather turns. Up on the hill, the first cold spell can arrive sooner than you expect.

Yes, please do. Pressure that climbs as the system heats up often points to an expansion vessel that has lost its charge, or occasionally a filling loop left slightly open. Both are worth looking at, and telling me beforehand means I know where to start.

Yes. Older High Street properties often have boilers tucked into attic rooms, converted cupboards or odd corners. What matters is whether the casing can come off and the flue run can be followed, so mention any tight spots when you get in touch. A photo of where the boiler sits helps me plan before I arrive.

Yes. From the Highworth base I cover nearby places including Blunsdon, Stratton St Margaret and Haydon Wick, as well as Swindon itself and villages further out such as Cricklade and Chiseldon. Send me your postcode and I can confirm.

Ask and I'll explain what the part does and how worn it looks, and whether it needs replacing now or can be watched. Any further work is your decision. If a replacement is needed, I can talk you through the next steps.

The gas to the boiler is isolated while the casing is off and parts are being cleaned and checked, so heating and hot water will be off for part of the visit. Your hob and other gas appliances are generally unaffected unless the supply needs testing at the meter.
