A boiler service is a set of measurements, not a glance. The value is in the numbers and in having them written down, because a service nobody recorded is a service you cannot prove happened.

Flue gas, pressures and safety devices are measured, not just looked at.
What was tested and what it read, left with you after the visit.
A manufacturer warranty usually depends on a documented annual service.
Anything wearing out is named while it is still a small job.
The casing comes off. The burner, heat exchanger and condensate trap are inspected and cleaned where they need it. Seals and the combustion chamber are checked for integrity. The flue is checked along its length and at its terminal. The gas rate is measured against the manufacturer figure, and a flue gas analyser reads the combustion, which is the single most informative thing anybody does to a boiler all year. Pressures, the expansion vessel charge and the safety devices are tested. Then it gets written up.
Boiler Service is priced after the job has been seen, anywhere in the areas we cover. Send the postcode and a few lines about what it is doing when you contact us, and the answer comes back in writing.
Combustion ratio drifting from the manufacturer window means the burner, the gas rate or the air path is changing, and it shows up long before the boiler starts failing. A falling expansion vessel charge explains a system that keeps losing pressure. A condensate trap that is filling with sludge explains intermittent lockouts in cold weather. None of that is visible without taking the readings.
Nearly every manufacturer warranty is conditional on an annual service by a competent engineer, documented. Not an invoice saying boiler service, but a record with the date, the readings and the engineer's registration details. When a heat exchanger fails in year six, that record is the whole claim. Keep it with the installation certificate.
Occasionally the readings show something that cannot be left: a cracked seal, a corroded heat exchanger, combustion outside the safe window. In that case the service stops being a service and we tell you what has been found, what it needs and what it costs before doing anything else.
The make and model, roughly when it was last serviced, and anything it has been doing lately that it did not used to.
