Boiler Services
At Frank Finn Plumbing & Heating based in Twickenham, London, Annual servicing and safety checking are vital to the continued safe, economical and effective operation of your gas boiler and heating and hot water system, so we offer a text reminder service to help you remember to book your service.
Our engineers work to our comprehensive servicing check-list, ensuring your annual service is carried out to the highest standards. The service is composed of three sections.
1. Preliminary checks
This section includes a thorough visual inspection of the system and flue, as well as checks for adequate ventilation and for any signs of possible leaks.
2. Boiler checks and testing
The engineer dismantles the boiler and checks its internal components for signs of wear or damage. Having reassembled it, the engineer tests the boiler in operation.
3. Wider system checks
The radiators and their valves are checked for any signs of corrosion or leaks. The flue performance is measured, gas supply checked and the system programmer set to your requirements.
Should any further works be required, the engineer will quote for them and book a return visit to carry them out, before leaving.

Gas Safety
During a gas safety check we will:
- Check appliance for gas tightness
- Check standing and working pressure if test points available
- Check burner pressure / gas rate against manufacturers data plate
- Check for satisfactory provision of all necessary ventilation
- Test flue flow to ensure removal of products of combustion
- Check satisfactory operation of all the flame failure devices
- Check for physical stability, presence and effectiveness of stability brackets (where appropriate)
- Investigate any evidence of unsafe operation and report to a responsible person
For a Landlords Safety Inspection a tightness test of the full system should be added to the above.
Landlords must arrange the required annual gas safety checks for gas appliances and flues they provide, using a Gas Safe registered engineer, and provide tenants with the required gas safety record. Call us to confirm the scope and price for the property and number of appliances.

System Design
For renovations and heating upgrades, we can assess heating and hot-water requirements, flow and pressure, emitter sizing and the information needed for builders to price the same scope. Survey and design work is chargeable and quoted according to the work involved, the property and its location. A room-by-room heat-loss survey for heat-pump design is detailed work and normally takes a full day. Central London beyond Putney and Chiswick costs more because of travel time.
