Boiler Service

[nogoodatfaultfinding]

After an arguement in pub i wish to know what you guys class as a boiler service.
I check and clean everywhere but most importantly the burner, also check and clean sump on HE and always the expansion vessel on all combis, should i be do more or less in your opinion?
Just for clarification the other fella said i do to much and that i should only check and clean the burner!!!!

Ideally you should follow the service instructions set out in the MI's where available?
Id say what you do is better then just checking the burner but might not generate as much breakdown work as you will prevent common faults by servicing properly.
Id love to take my time on services and strip them down properly. Unfortunately 38mins isnt long enough to do everything.

Anything from £11p/m upwards depending on which contract its on. Technically they dont get a service they get a "maintenance & safety inspection"

Nothing, paying for a maintenance contract

which of the above are mentioned in MI? a service never includes a tightness test, but some contracts include it, but it isnt the same thing
