How much is a boiler service in Belfast?

Indicative pricing: expect £95–£140 for a gas boiler service and £110–£160 for oil, including a Gas Safety or OFTEC certificate. Here's what a proper service should actually include, and how to spot a thin one.

Prices on this page are indicative ranges based on typical Belfast installer pricing in 2026. Every installer quotes independently and figures move with system type, property access and add-on work. Use these as a sense-check, not a fixed price.

The Belfast price range

Gas boiler service prices in Greater Belfast typically run from £95 at the lower end to £140 for standard domestic work. Oil boilers sit a little higher — usually £110 to £160 — because OFTEC certification requires more kit and time on site.

Anything under £80 deserves some scepticism. At that price point the installer is often making £40–£50 an hour after parts and travel, which in practice means a 10-minute visual check rather than a proper service.

What a proper service includes

  • Flue gas analysis with a calibrated analyser.
  • Combustion and safety check.
  • Pressure and expansion vessel check.
  • Heat exchanger clean and inspection.
  • Condensate trap clean (on gas) or nozzle and photocell clean (on oil).
  • Gas Safe or OFTEC certificate issued on the day.
  • Written report with any faults flagged and recommendations for the next year.

Typical time on site: 45–60 minutes for gas, 60–90 minutes for oil.

What it doesn't include

  • Repairs. If the installer finds a fault, the repair price is agreed before any work starts.
  • Parts beyond the standard consumables (oil nozzles and photocells are usually included for oil).
  • Power flushing, which is a separate service for systems with significant sludge.

Landlord CP12 on its own

A landlord gas safety certificate (CP12) by itself typically costs £90–£110. Most installers bundle the CP12 with a service for a combined price around £110–£150, which is materially cheaper than paying for both separately.

Portfolio landlords with 5+ properties can usually negotiate a discounted rate with their regular installer — ask at the point of enquiry.

Signs of a service to question

  • Finished in under 15 minutes.
  • No flue gas analyser used.
  • No written report or certificate issued on the day.
  • Everything "perfect" every year regardless of boiler age.

A proper service catches small issues before they become breakdowns. If a boiler has been running on fresh air for a few years, the next service is worth paying full price for.
