I managed to fix my neighbour's boiler (re-pressurise). I had bought two of those metal service handles for the Vaillant boiler as one of the original plastic ones had fallen off and was missing. She didn't want to replace the one remaining plastic one as everything is now working well so I said to ask her engineer to swap them when the next service is due. She doesn't have it serviced! I said that I thought that this could affect her house insurance but I wasn't sure - am I correct? I did explain why the boiler should be top of the list for annual inspection. She owns the house, it's not rented.

Does lack of boiler servicing affect house insurance?

It won't affect the house insurance no, but it will nullify any warranty that the boiler may have had, it could also effect its efficiency and a service will ensure the boiler is working correctly and safely, they can kill.
Everyone should always take gas seriously, if not then it's potentially playing with their and theirs personal safety. A gas boiler should be serviced once a year by a GSR engineer.
