Hi I’ve recently become a landlord and last year I had a new boiler fitted to the property I rent out. I’ve had a reminder that the boiler is due for an annual service and my question is - does this have to be conducted exact to the date it was due or, could I have this done later in the year when the gas safety certificate will also need renewing, thus bringing both into alignment?
There is no requirement for a landlord to service boiler although clearly it is sensible to do so.
The problem with delaying the service is that it would probably invalidate the warranty. I would just bring forward the gas safety check as that should be cheap if done at same time as service.

Many modern boilers, such as Worcester Bosch models don’t need routine servicing, so check with the manufacturer.
My gas man charges the same for a service and a gas cert as for the service alone so I would just being forward the gas cert if you need the service for the warranty.
