Commercial boilers are the heart of many buildings — from care homes and schools to factories and offices across Preston, Lancashire, and Greater Manchester. But how often should they actually be serviced?

Under UK Gas Safety Regulations, all commercial gas boilers must be serviced at least once per year by a Gas Safe registered engineer.Failing to service your boiler annually can lead to:
- Invalid gas safety certificates (CP42)
- Risk of carbon monoxide leaks
- Potential fines or insurance issues
- CQC compliance problems for care homes
Recommended Servicing Schedule
| Business Type | Recommended Service Frequency | Reason |
|---|
| Care Homes & Nursing Homes | Every 6 months | High risk + vulnerable residents |
| Schools & Public Buildings | Every 12 months | Standard legal requirement |
| Factories & Industrial | Every 6–12 months | Heavy usage |
| Offices & Shops | Every 12 months | Normal usage |
| Hotels & Restaurants | Every 6–9 months | High demand for hot water |
