Boiler Servicing

Boilers are an essential part of our homes. They provide
heating and hot water, and we rely on them to function on
demand. The more efficient they are, the less they cost to run.

Manufacturers recommend that heating appliances are serviced annually to help maintain warranty cover, safety and performance, as well as to reduce the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs. To ensure your annual service is not forgotten, we can provide an automatic service reminder.

Our heating engineers are Gas Safe and OFTEC registered and carry out servicing and maintenance on gas, oil and LPG appliances. We service and maintain all makes and models.

Why you should have
your boiler serviced

Keep you and your family safe 

Poorly installed, faulty or inadequately maintained heating appliances can pose safety risks. Regular servicing helps identify issues early and ensures your boiler is operating safely.

Improve efficiency

Regular servicing helps your boiler run more efficiently, using less energy to heat your home and hot water — which can help reduce monthly bills and lower your carbon footprint.

Reduce the risk of costly boiler breakdowns

Annual maintenance helps identify small issues before they develop into major faults, reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns and keeping your heating running reliably.

Annual Maintenance 

Servicing your boiler once a year helps maintain performance, extend its lifespan, and ensure you remain within the terms of your boiler warranty and manufacturer’s guarantee.

Boiler Repairs

Boiler breakdowns often happen at the worst possible time — particularly during colder weather when your heating system is working harder.

The good news is that many boiler faults can be identified and repaired quickly. In most cases, repairs are completed during the first visit, provided parts are available. Our engineers are fully trained to work on gas, oil and LPG central heating systems, and will always explain the issue clearly before carrying out any work.

We understand how stressful it can be to be without heating or hot water. If you’re based in Hertfordshire, we’ll always aim to attend as quickly as possible and restore your heating with minimal disruption.

We’ve been repairing gas, oil-fired and LPG boilers for over 30 years, building a strong reputation for accurately diagnosing faults and providing reliable, efficient repairs.

We are an OFTEC
registered business 

OFTEC is the Oil Firing Technical Association and represents
the oil heating and cooking industry in the UK and the Republic
of Ireland.

Being OFTEC registered means our engineers meet recognised industry standards for working on domestic oil-fired heating systems, helping ensure work is carried out safely, competently and in line with current regulations.

Our OFTEC registration provides reassurance that oil-fired servicing and repairs are completed by trained professionals, with the appropriate standards and documentation in place. For more information visit 

What our customers say about

PHP Services

I've used PHP for some years now, both in my own home and in our rental properties. I have also recommended them to friends. Their service is always excellent, they are always friendly, and are willing to go the extra mile if necessary - for example coming to fix a boiler at short notice in the middle of winter. I also consider them to be trustful and reliable

Highly recommended by our customers

Regular servicing helps keep your boiler running efficiently, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and ensures it operates safely. Annual servicing can also help extend the lifespan of your boiler and maintain manufacturer warranty cover.
Boilers should usually be serviced once a year to maintain efficiency, safety and reliability. Annual servicing also helps meet most manufacturers’ warranty requirements and can reduce the likelihood of costly repairs.
A boiler service involves a thorough inspection of key components, including the heat exchanger, burner, controls and seals. The engineer will carry out safety checks, test system operation, and clean internal components where required to ensure the boiler is operating correctly.
If your boiler stops working, it’s worth checking the basics first, such as thermostat settings, power supply and pressure. If the issue isn’t resolved, contact us to arrange a repair. We’ll assess the problem and work to restore your heating and hot water as quickly as possible.
When you book a boiler repair, we’ll first diagnose the fault and make sure the appliance is safe. We’ll then explain the issue and talk you through the available options. If parts are available and the repair can be completed during the visit, we’ll carry on and get your boiler working again. If parts need to be ordered, we’ll provide a clear quotation before any further work is carried out.
We work on most major gas, oil and LPG boiler makes and models. Repair times vary depending on the fault. Many issues can be resolved during the first visit, while more complex repairs may require parts to be ordered. An estimated timeframe will be provided after the initial assessment.
For boilers over 10–15 years old, replacement can sometimes be more cost-effective if repairs become frequent. Newer boilers are generally more energy-efficient and reliable. We’ll always assess the condition of your boiler and explain the options clearly so you can make an informed decision.
