£120including VAT
Short answer: a boiler service with us is £120, including VAT. If you’d rather spread it, every Home Care plan includes your annual service, from £11 a month.
You’ll see services advertised for more and for less. The price on its own doesn’t tell you much, because a service can mean a quick look or a proper clean of the parts inside. So here’s exactly what ours includes, and the questions worth asking whoever you book.
What you get for £120
The same checks on every service.
- Flue gas test
- Burner and heat exchanger check
- Condensate trap and filter clean
- Expansion vessel check
- Gas pressure test
- Carbon monoxide alarm test
- A written report emailed the same day
On your first service with us, the boiler gets a full strip down and clean. We allow up to an hour and a half. You’ll get a two hour arrival window and a text when the engineer is on the way.
Included on every Home Care plan.
Before the service
Comparing prices
Five questions to ask whoever you book.
How long do you allow?
Which? says a good service should take at least 30 minutes. If someone’s in and out in less, not much has been done.
Do you take the case off?
A service should include opening the boiler up, checking the parts inside and cleaning what needs it, not only a flue gas reading.
Will I get a written report?
You need it for your guarantee, and if you ever sell the house.
Is VAT included?
Some prices are quoted before VAT. Ours includes it.
Are you Gas Safe registered?
Ask to see the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card. Every engineer working on your gas appliances carries one.

Common questions
Is the £120 price including VAT?
Yes, £120 includes VAT. If a part such as a burner seal needs replacing, we tell you the cost before fitting it.
How long does a boiler service take?
Allow up to an hour and a half. You’ll get a two hour arrival window and a text when the engineer is on the way.
Is a boiler service cheaper on Home Care?
No. The Service plan spreads the cost monthly and books your service for you. It isn’t a discount. The Boiler and Complete plans add breakdown repairs, with parts and labour included.
What happens if the engineer finds a fault?
They’ll explain what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to put right before doing anything extra. If something is unsafe, they’ll make it safe and tell you in writing.
Do I need a service if my boiler is brand new?
Yes. Nearly every manufacturer’s guarantee depends on a service every year, starting from the first year.
Do landlords pay more?
No. A service is £120. If you also need a landlord gas safety certificate, it’s £108 on its own or £144 for both in one visit.
