Servicing in Neath
For homes in Neath, an annual boiler service is about as local as it gets for us. Our Briton Ferry base is on the town's doorstep, so Chris can fit services in around Cimla, Bryncoch, Tonna, Skewen and Neath Abbey without long travel.
Chris talks you through what he is checking and what he finds. If the boiler is in good shape, you will know. If something is worn, he will say what it is, how urgent it is and what it would involve, so you are not left guessing.
Many Neath homes still have boilers that have been running for years. A service keeps them safe and tells you how much life they may have left. Our guide to how long a boiler lasts helps you plan ahead if replacement is on the horizon.
If your boiler runs on LPG, or you look after a boiler in a business premises in Neath, ask when you call. Chris will tell you whether it is work he can take on. Our LPG boiler installation and commercial boiler services pages explain more.
Keep your service record somewhere safe and note the date. It helps with warranties and makes it easy to book the next one at the same time of year.
Because Neath is so close, it is easy to combine the boiler service with other small jobs on the same visit, such as bleeding stubborn radiators, replacing a sticking radiator valve or checking a dripping tap. Mention anything like this when you book, so Chris can plan the time and bring the right parts.
A service is a good time to make sure you have the boiler's paperwork in order. The manufacturer's manual, the original installation certificate and past service records all help, both for warranty purposes and when you come to sell. If you have lost the manual, most manufacturers publish them online using the model name on the data label.
You should not need to wait for the annual visit if something changes. A yellow or lazy flame on an older boiler, black marks around the casing, a pressure gauge that keeps falling or a boiler that locks out repeatedly are all reasons to call sooner. If you are worried about a fault, see our boiler repair in Neath page.
Plenty of Neath customers live up the valleys towards Resolven, Glynneath and Crynant, or out towards Skewen and Jersey Marine. Older stone cottages and post-war council-built semis are common, and many still have boilers fitted in a kitchen cupboard or an airing cupboard upstairs. Clear access around the boiler makes the service quicker, so it helps to move shelves or stored items out of the way before Chris arrives.
Modern condensing boilers drain water through a plastic condensate pipe, often outside. On frosty mornings in exposed spots around the Vale of Neath, these pipes can freeze and stop the boiler. During the service Chris can check the pipe's route and size and point out whether it is likely to be a problem when the cold weather comes.
