Boiler maintaince

Options
What are the best options for bolier repairs?

I have a Valiant combi boiler. It's only about 5 yrs old.

I've noticed it's taking a longer time than usual to get water as hot as it should be.

It is working....though I fear something may be on it's way out. It may just need a service.


I rang my usual plumber a while back but he's not 'Gas safe' so wasn't interested.

I know British Gas do a contract servicing offer, is this likely to be the best option or should I just try and get it serviced locally?

All suggestions welcomed!

    You can get boiler repairs through your bank nowadays so id say yes you no doubt will be able too get it through your home insurance.

    You can't cover pre-existing conditions if you take out boiler insurance.
    Just get it serviced by a Gas Safe Vaillant engineer.
