Walmley grew up largely in the decades after the war, and its roads are mostly family homes built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. That means a great many boilers in Walmley were replaced around the same time and are now of a similar age, which is exactly when regular servicing starts to earn its keep.

A boiler that is eight to twelve years old is usually still sound, but it is at the age where seals, fans, pumps and ignition parts start to wear. An annual service finds that wear while it is still a small job booked at a convenient time, rather than a breakdown on a Sunday night in January.

Many Walmley homes have been extended over the years, with a kitchen or a garden room added at the back. A service is a good moment to check that the boiler is still coping with the extra radiators, and that the flue terminal has not ended up too close to a new window or a conservatory roof.

Each service includes a combustion check with an analyser, the burner and heat exchanger inspected, the condensate trap cleaned, the flue checked and the system pressure set. On system boilers the pump, the expansion vessel and any cylinder are checked too.

Booking in late spring or summer is the easiest route. Diaries are quieter, and anything found can be fixed before the heating season starts. A photo of the boiler badge and the display on WhatsApp tells us the make, the model and often the likely part before anyone sets off.

Good to know

Boiler Servicing — your questions

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Once a year, and most manufacturers need it to keep the warranty valid.

When is the best time to book in Walmley?

Late spring or summer, before the rush that starts with the first cold week.

How long does a service take?

Usually under an hour for a combi, a little longer with a cylinder.

My extension has made the flue look very close to the window. Is that a problem?

It might be. Flue terminals have minimum distances from openings, and we check that on the service.

Do you cover the rest of Walmley and Minworth?

Yes, and New Hall, Walmley Ash and across the rest of Sutton Coldfield.

Can you fix anything the service finds?

Usually on the same visit if we carry the part, otherwise booked back in quickly. See boiler repair.
