Standard service and Gold service, what is the difference?
Standard service
This is the routine annual check for a working boiler. It focuses on safety, performance, readings and condition.
Gold service
This option allows extra time for deeper cleaning and strip down steps where appropriate for the appliance and its condition. It is a good fit if the boiler history is unknown or the boiler has been neglected.
If you are not sure which to choose, book the standard service and we will advise on site before doing anything extra.
Landlords and homeowners
We service boilers for homeowners and landlords across Ardingly. If you need a landlord gas safety check as well, tell us at booking so we allow the right time and bring the right paperwork.
Book a repair instead of a service if
A standard service is designed for a boiler that is currently working. Please book a repair instead if you already know about any of the following.
-
The boiler is not working or keeps locking out
-
You can see a leak, or you can smell gas
-
The system is losing pressure regularly
-
No hot water, poor heating, or radiators not warming properly
-
Repeated fault codes or strange noises
Booking the right visit type means we can diagnose properly and fix the root cause, not just carry out routine checks.

What a boiler service is and what it is not
A proper service is more than a quick look and a stamp.
We are checking safety, confirming correct operation and looking for early warning signs.
A service is not a repair visit. If your boiler is losing pressure, cutting out, leaking or not giving consistent heating and hot water, you will get a better outcome by booking a repair or fault finding appointment.

What we often find in Ardingly homes
Ardingly has a mix of rural homes, cottages and larger properties on the lanes around the village. That means we see everything from newer combination boilers to older system boilers with cylinders.
Common findings during servicing in Ardingly include older system boilers with unvented cylinders, sludge build up from older pipework, and boiler vents and condensate routes that need attention. None of these always mean a breakdown is coming, but they are the sort of issues a proper service is designed to spot early.
