Understanding Boiler Servicing & Boiler Repairs

Recognising when you require a boiler service versus a heating repair is vital. Boiler servicing, akin to a car’s MOT, is an annual check-up for safety, efficiency, and performance, including replacing specified parts as instructed by the manufacturer. Mainly, a boiler service is preventive, catching issues before they happen!

Boiler repairs, however, are required when a breakdown occurs and your boiler stops producing heating or hot water. Our standard boiler servicing and “Cosy Plan” service plan does not cover repairs or faulty boilers, focusing instead on preventive maintenance.

Helpful advice for Sheffielders needing help

Boiler parts, approximate pricing guide reference only

Please take these guide pricing with a pinch of salt!
All boiler manufacturers’ pricing varies from each other, and sometimes there may be multiple different fans, pumps, valves and gaskets priced differently from each other. We have provided this list as a guideline to help you understand why some repairs are quite affordable and some hurt the bank.

  • Heat Exchanger Gasket £160

    Gaskets must be replaced when showing signs of wear. Failure to do so can lead to dangerous boilers.

  • Ignition Electrodes £190

    Responsible for igniting the fuel to start the boiler. Ignition electrodes are normally as part of a main service, but can fail at any point

  • Pressure Relief Valve £190

    Helps to release excess pressure from the system, preventing potential damage. A common repair.

  • Diverter Valve £220

    Directs hot water to either the radiators or the hot water system, depending on demand.

  • Magnetic filter replacement £300

    Replace old plastic magnetic filters & upgrade to a modern brass system filter.

  • Expansion Vessel £300

    Major componant. Compensates for the expansion and contraction of water in the system as it heats and cools.

  • Gas valve £350

    Major componant. Regulates gas flow to the burner for combustion, and its malfunction can lead to inefficiency or safety risks.

  • Fan £420

    Major componant. Essential for letting your boiler breath and venting out used gases safely.

  • Pump £360

    Major componant. Circulates hot water throughout the heating system.

  • Main Heat Exchanger £720

    Major componant. The most expensive repair as this is the core part that transfers heat from the burner to the water in the system.

  • New Boiler Replacement £2000
