Boiler Servicing Fareham, Step by Step
Oli Jones Engineering, a Gas Safe registered gas engineer based in Southampton, covers residential boiler servicing in Fareham and other homes within about 20 miles of Southampton. A home boiler service checks gas soundness and pressure, opens the combustion chamber, analyses the flue gas, cleans the seals and condensate trap, and tests safety devices.
What happens during a proper home boiler service?
Soundness and standing pressure come first when Oli Jones Engineering services a home boiler. Next the combustion chamber is opened, the burner and heat exchanger examined and the flue gases analysed.
Seals, gaskets and the condensate trap are checked and cleaned, and the flue is inspected along its length. Safety devices, pressure and controls are tested before the boiler is recommissioned.
Does a gas engineer fix a boiler?
Yes. Any repair on a gas boiler counts as gas work, which puts it in the hands of a Gas Safe registered engineer. Oli Jones Engineering diagnoses the fault with test equipment before replacing any part.
Why do commercial boilers need routine testing?
Oli Jones Engineering carries out routine testing of commercial boilers, covering safety, how well the plant performs and compliance with the regulations. Soundness is confirmed before the appliance is opened.
The value of a test is in its numbers: flue gas figures, gas rate and working pressure cannot be judged by eye. Quiet running is no proof of clean combustion.
Is it illegal to fix your own boiler?
The law requires anyone doing gas work to be competent, and anyone doing it as a business to be Gas Safe registered, so in practice the gas side of a boiler is not a DIY job. Owner checks such as pressure and bleeding radiators are fine, but the casing should stay shut.
Why use one engineer for the boiler and the pipework?
Oli Jones Engineering diagnoses and repairs central heating faults for homeowners around Southampton. Both the wet side and the gas side are within his remit, so the circuit and the appliance are diagnosed together.
Radiators, valves, pumps and pipework are plumbing; the burner, flue and gas supply are more info Gas Safe work. There is no handover between trades in the middle of the job.
