A boiler service is a thorough check of the boiler to ensure all parts are in good condition and working properly. A service also ensures the boiler operates safely and efficiently and prevents life-threatening boiler leaks. Consequently, boiler servicing is an important part of property maintenance, whether you are a homeowner, landlord or another property owner. However, it is not a legal requirement for everyone.
Although we advise everyone in Hassocks, Henfield, East Grinstead and the surrounding areas to get their boiler serviced once a year, you might not be legally obligated to do so. Here, we look at the requirements for:
Annual boiler health checks are a legal requirement for landlords. If you rent out a property, you must arrange for a Gas Safe engineer to carry out a boiler service at least once every 12 months. They should provide you with a gas safety certificate, which you can find out more about in our gas safety certificate blog. You can also learn more about our trusted services by reading the testimonials from previous clients.
As a landlord, it is your legal responsibility to provide a safe living environment for your tenants, and that includes providing a safe, working boiler. If a professional boiler service is not carried out every 12 months, you are breaking the law, namely the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
Lindfield Plumbing & Heating is here to help with boiler inspections and maintenance in Henfield, East Grinstead and the surrounding areas, helping to prevent boiler leaks.
If you are renting a property, it is not your responsibility to arrange boiler servicing and repairs. Your landlord must schedule a service once a year and pay for any required maintenance that results from wear and tear.
If your landlord does not uphold their obligations, you can take them to court.
Homeowners in Henfield, East Grinstead and across the UK are not legally required to get their boilers serviced. However, a boiler service is the best way to keep your boiler safe and working properly, as efficiently as possible. As such, we recommend all homeowners arrange an annual boiler health check.
Servicing is also important for maintaining your boiler warranty. Most manufacturers require regular servicing; otherwise, the warranty is void.
