Servicing

All solid fuel boilers and cookers should have an annual service. I can take care of this for you at a reasonable cost and at a time to suit you. As a guide local area call out costs £130 plus parts. Charges for call outs outside the local area can be agreed in advance.

I service most solid fuel Stoves and Room heaters including Parkray, Rayburn, Trianco, Charnwood, Coalbrookdale, Esse and Hunter. I also maintain and supply parts for open fires including back boilers for example Redfyre, Dauntless, Baxi and Dunsley.

Can you close the door on your Parkray with your little finger? If not and the door needs force then it is not aligned properly. This will be corrected as part of a typical solid fuel service.

What does a conventional service cover?

  • Firstly I protect your carpet or floor with a clean 8’ x 8’ dust sheet. This might seem insignificant but it means I leave your carpet in the same state I found it!
  • The door and all internal parts of the boiler are removed. This can be up to 27 parts in all depending on the make and model.
  • Check all parts for distortion, wear breaks and missing parts. I will inspect the bricks, bars, grates, riddler mechanism and ash pit thoroughly
  • The Thermostat movement will be checked. There are 4 individual checks on this component alone.
  • The Throatplate is inspected and 3 individual checks are made.
  • The doors and all glass panels are checked. This is one element of the service that can obviously be done by you but I do it as a matter of course.
  • The firebricks are checked for looseness, cracks and breaks. If anything needs replacing during a service it tends to be the fire bricks.
  • The stripped out stove is now vacuumed before doing one final visual inspection.
  • All removed components are now dusted and replaced. You will be given the option to replace any worn or damaged parts at this stage.
  • Finally all door seals and metal to metal mating faces are are cleaned and checked. “If the door won’t close or the machine don’t riddle you have a problem”
  • Should any parts be required I can usually fit them immediately as I carry a large range
  • That’s not bad for £130! To top that distance is no object and I travel many thousands of miles each week but obviously my charges need to take traveling time into account.

    So why wait? Give me a call and get that service you’ve been putting off done now.
