The cost of a boiler service depends on your location, the type of boiler and whether any parts are needed. At Home Utility Ltd, call-out prices start from £80 plus VAT depending on the service, with parts and materials charged separately where required, and we explain the costs before any extra work. Call 07983 511772 to book a boiler service in London.

There is no single price for every boiler service, because prices vary with location and with the job itself. As a guide, our call-out prices start from £80 plus VAT, depending on the service. Parts and materials are charged separately where they are required.
We aim to be transparent about pricing. Where additional work, parts or materials are needed, we explain the costs and get your approval before going ahead wherever possible, so a routine service does not turn into a surprise bill.
| What changes the price | Why |
|---|---|
| Your location | Prices vary with location across London and the surrounding areas. |
| The type of service | A routine boiler service is a different job from a breakdown repair or a landlord Gas Safety Record. |
| Parts and materials | If the engineer finds a part that needs replacing, parts and materials are charged separately, and we explain the cost first. |
| Extra work | If the service shows up a fault, we discuss the repair options with you before doing anything more. |
Every visit follows the same clear steps, so you know what you are paying for:
No, and it is one of the most common mix-ups we hear. A boiler service is maintenance on the boiler itself, to keep it running safely and efficiently. A landlord Gas Safety Record, often called a CP12, is a separate inspection that landlords arrange for the gas appliances in a rented property. They are two different jobs, so if you are a landlord, tell us whether you need a service, a Gas Safety Record or both, and we will price it accordingly.
Not every engineer can work on gas appliances. Gas work must be carried out by an appropriately qualified, Gas Safe registered engineer. At Home Utility Ltd, we provide gas services through appropriately qualified Gas Safe registered engineers wherever gas work is required. Our team has experience over 20 years and is fully qualified and trained in all our trades.
No. A boiler service involves gas work, and professional diagnosis is safer, particularly for gas and electrical faults. Leave it to a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Price matters, but it is not the only thing to compare. When you look at quotes, also consider qualifications, insurance, workmanship, parts, warranty and aftercare. A clear explanation of what is included is worth more than a low headline figure.
Yes. We aim to give transparent pricing before work begins where possible, and where additional work, parts or materials are required we explain the costs and obtain your approval before proceeding wherever possible.
Call-out prices start from £80 plus VAT, depending on the service. Parts and materials are charged separately where required. Ask us when you book and we will explain what your visit includes.
We explain what we found and discuss the repair or replacement options with you. Repair can often be more cost-effective than replacement, depending on the age, condition and fault. Breakdown repair is guaranteed for 6 months. Read more about our boiler repair service in London.
Not necessarily. A new boiler is not always cheaper than repairing the one you have. Installation work is guaranteed for 12 months. See our boiler installation service.
We agree a suitable date and time with you when you book. For emergencies, availability may vary depending on engineer availability and the nature of the emergency, so contact us directly to confirm.
