Posted By Kate Graham Am I right in thinking that normally a gas boiler used for heating should be serviced every 6 months? Kate

Posted By Kate Graham Thanks Mike. Someone was telling me that although it is normally 12 months for domestic boilers, on commercial premises it should be six months - does anyone know if there is anything in this? Kate

Posted By Ron Young Kate, Are you mixing servicing with statutory inspection of pressure vessels which is usually carried out by insurers?

Posted By Richard Spencer My advice is to establish: 1. look at the manufacturers plate 2. Make and model 3. Serial number 4. establish if it is a boiler that is it generates steam or high pressure hot water and is or is not a pressure vessel. Then contact the manufacturer for information in respect of periodic inspections, they will know as they are required to meet stringent compliancy and are “in the game”. Look on the internet for boiler inspectors/engineers and get them to forward the requisite information that cover the legislation. Indeed you could do no worse than contacting you local HSE office for guidance. I would not do anything until you have established base information. Richard Boiler and Pressure Inspector (ret).
