Although we encourage our customers to service their boilers annually, sometimes your boiler will tell you when it needs to be checked by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer. If the flame in the boiler is irregular or yellow, if there are stains or smoke marks nearby, if you have to refill you boiler regularly, if the water pressure is sporadic, if the pilot light goes out regularly are all signs that a Gas Engineer is needed to service and check your boiler.
