How to Prepare for Your Gas Boiler Service Visit
                     HOW TO 
PREPARE FOR 
YOUR GAS 
BOILER SERVICE 
VISIT
SCHEDULE THE SERVICE 
APPOINTMENT
The first step is to book an appointment with a qualified gas engineer. 
It’s important to choose a registered professional, as they must be Gas 
Safe registered to legally work on gas appliances.
CLEAR THE AREA AROUND THE BOILER
Before the engineer arrives, take the time to clear any clutter around 
the boiler. A clear area not only speeds up the process but also allows 
the engineer to perform a thorough inspection and service of your 
boiler.
PROVIDE ACCESS TO NECESSARY 
DOCUMENTS
Prepare any documentation related to your boiler, including:
• The boiler’s user manual and warranty information.
• Previous service records or invoices, if available.
• Any notes on issues you've experienced, such as unusual noises, 
poor heating, or pilot light problems.
TURN OFF THE BOILER
Before the engineer arrives, it’s a good idea to turn off your boiler, if 
it’s safe to do so. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to 
do this. Turning it off for a while before the service can make it easier 
for the engineer to perform their checks.
ENSURE PROPER VENTILATION
For safety reasons, ensure that your home is well-ventilated during the 
engineer's visit. This is particularly important when it comes to gas 
appliances, as they can produce carbon monoxide. If your home has 
windows or doors near the boiler area, open them to allow fresh air to 
circulate.
PLAN FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY
Lastly, plan for the engineer's visit in terms of safety and security. If 
you have pets, consider putting them in a safe, separate area of your 
home to prevent them from getting in the way. Additionally, if you are 
not home during the visit, ensure that you have a way for the engineer 
to access the property securely.
