What we do

Boiler Servicing in Manchester

An annual service keeps your boiler safe, keeps it running efficiently, and, importantly, keeps the manufacturer warranty valid. Nearly every boiler warranty is void without a documented annual service. Nelson Plumbing & Heating services boilers across Manchester, and gives you a written record at the end.

  • Full manufacturer specification annual service
  • Flue and combustion (FGA) analysis
  • Seals, pressures and safety devices tested
  • Condensate and filter check
  • Written service record for your warranty
  • Landlord gas safety checks (CP12)

Know the signs

When you need boiler servicing

How it works

What actually happens

1

Visual and safety check

Boiler, flue, ventilation and the gas supply, checked for the obvious before anything is opened up.

2

Strip and clean

Casing off. Burner, heat exchanger and condensate trap inspected and cleaned as needed.

3

Combustion analysis

A flue gas analyser measures what is actually coming out. This is the test that proves the boiler is burning safely and efficiently.

4

Report and record

You get a written record. If anything is borderline we tell you now, not when it fails in January.

How long it takes. A standard annual service takes around 30 to 60 minutes. A landlord gas safety check on multiple appliances takes longer.
The price

What is included, and what changes it

Included in your fixed price

  • Manufacturer specification service
  • Flue gas combustion analysis
  • All safety devices tested
  • A written service record for your warranty
  • Honest report on anything wearing out

What changes the price

  • Whether it is a service only, or a service plus a landlord certificate
  • The number of gas appliances being checked
  • The make and model of the boiler
  • Whether any parts need replacing on the day
We do not publish a headline price for boiler servicing, it would be a guess. You get a fixed price after we have seen the job, and that is the price you pay.
Worth knowing

What is actually checked in a proper boiler service

A service is not "a quick look and a sticker". If an engineer is in and out in ten minutes without a flue gas analyser, you have not had a service. This is what we check:

Combustion (flue gas analysis)
The analyser measures the ratio of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in the flue gases. This is the single most important test, it proves the boiler is burning cleanly and not producing dangerous levels of CO.
The heat exchanger and burner
Inspected and cleaned. This is where efficiency is quietly lost as deposits build up.
Seals and casing
A room sealed boiler must actually be sealed. Failed seals can let combustion products into the room.
Gas pressure and gas rate
Checked against the manufacturer data plate. Wrong gas rate means it is over or under firing.
Safety devices
The overheat thermostat, the pressure relief valve and the flame supervision device are all tested.
Condensate and flue
The condensate run is checked for correct fall and freeze risk. The flue is checked for correct seal, support and termination.
System pressure and expansion vessel
A failed expansion vessel is the most common reason a boiler keeps losing pressure.
Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless. A working audible CO alarm is strongly recommended in any room with a gas appliance, and is a legal requirement in rented properties in England.

Covering Manchester

From city centre apartments to Victorian terraces in the suburbs, Manchester housing varies hugely, and so do the heating systems in it. We cover the city centre, Ancoats, Chorlton, Didsbury, Withington, Levenshulme and the wider M1 to M23 postcodes.

Manchester is a city of two extremes: new build apartments in the centre, often on communal systems with combi boilers and tight service cupboards, and rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Chorlton, Didsbury and Levenshulme with older pipework, original radiators and systems that have been added to over decades. The terraces are where we most often find sludge, cold radiators and boilers that were never sized for the house.

Questions

Boiler Servicing in Manchester, answered

Do you cover Manchester?

Yes. Nelson Plumbing & Heating Ltd covers Manchester and the surrounding areas, including the city centre, Ancoats, Chorlton, for boiler servicing and all other plumbing, heating and gas work. We are a Salford based company (M3 6GB) with Gas Safe registered engineers working right across Greater Manchester. From city centre apartments to Victorian terraces in the suburbs, Manchester housing varies hugely, and so do the heating systems in it. If you are not sure whether your postcode (M1 to M23) is covered, call the team on 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk and we will confirm straight away.

Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?

Yes. Every gas job Nelson Plumbing & Heating carries out in Manchester is completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Gas Safe registration is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances in the UK, and it means the engineer has been assessed as competent on the specific type of work they are doing. You are welcome to ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card when they arrive, and you should ask that of any engineer who comes to your home. The card shows a licence number and the exact categories of work they are qualified for.

How much does boiler servicing cost in Manchester?

The honest answer is that it depends on the job, and any company that gives you a firm price over the phone without seeing it is guessing. What changes the price for boiler servicing is mainly: whether it is a service only, or a service plus a landlord certificate; the number of gas appliances being checked; the make and model of the boiler. What we do instead is give you a fixed price before any work starts, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay. As one customer put it: "the job was exactly how much they quoted for, no scary surprises." For a free, no obligation quote in Manchester, call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

How long does boiler servicing take?

A standard annual service takes around 30 to 60 minutes. A landlord gas safety check on multiple appliances takes longer. Every job is different, so when we quote for boiler servicing in Manchester we will also tell you realistically how long we will be, and whether we need more than one visit. We would rather tell you honestly up front than turn up and disappear halfway through.

How quickly can you get to me in Manchester?

Nelson Plumbing & Heating works out of Salford, so most of Manchester is a short run for our engineers. For genuine emergencies, a burst pipe, no hot water, a boiler lockout, we prioritise the call and aim to get someone out as fast as we can, and we will talk you through making the property safe while we are on the way. For planned work such as an installation or an annual service in Manchester, we will book a slot that suits you. Call 0161 515 9977 and the team will tell you honestly when they can be with you rather than promise something they cannot keep.

What is included in the price?

For boiler servicing in Manchester, the fixed price we quote includes: manufacturer specification service; flue gas combustion analysis; all safety devices tested; a written service record for your warranty; honest report on anything wearing out. If we find something during the job that genuinely changes the scope, we stop and tell you before we carry on, we do not simply add it to the bill at the end. Nelson Plumbing & Heating is a limited company (number 13649684) and we are members of Checkatrade and TrustATrader.

Do you work with landlords and letting agents in Manchester?

Yes. We carry out landlord gas safety checks (CP12 certificates), servicing and repairs for landlords and letting agents across Manchester and Greater Manchester. If you let a property with gas appliances you are legally required to have every gas appliance and flue checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months, to give the tenant a copy of the record within 28 days, and to keep copies for at least 2 years. We can handle single properties or a portfolio. Call 0161 515 9977 or email admin@nelsonplumbing.co.uk.

What areas around Manchester do you cover?

From our base in Salford we cover Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area, including Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Sale, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale and Warrington. Within Manchester itself we regularly work in the city centre, Ancoats, Chorlton, Didsbury, Withington, Levenshulme and across the M1 to M23 postcodes. If your postcode sits just outside that, it is still worth calling on 0161 515 9977, we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you rather than take the booking and let you down.
