George Lane, Gas Safe No. 515374. Fully insured, 25+ years on boilers. I do every job myself, from the first visit to the finished work.
If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency number, 0800 111 999, before anything else. Once the supply has been made safe, I can come and deal with the appliance.

Brian P.Google review, May 2026Customer of Thames Boilers, Kent George was very pleasant and worked hard to give my boiler a thorough service. A sudden leaking pipe meant that the job took much longer than expected but this was no problem at all for him. George done an excellent job and I will definitely be using his services again.

Boiler servicing in Braunton
Standard boiler servicing in Braunton costs £105 including VAT, and the Full gas boiler service costs £185. I'm George Lane of Tarka Boilers, a Gas Safe engineer (No. 515374) with more than 25 years' experience, based in North Devon and covering all of EX33.
Travel is included. Book online, or call 01271 444410 and I'll book you in.
How booking works
You book
Book online and your time is confirmed straight away. I work Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and I'm not an emergency service. If it isn't a job for me, I'll say so and point you to someone who can help, rather than going quiet on you.
You'll know when I'm coming
You choose a start time when you book, not a morning or an afternoon. It is an estimate, because the job before yours can finish early or run on. When I set off to you, you get a text with a link that shows where I am, so you can see when I'll be at the door.
Braunton properties and the salt air
Being close to the sea, boilers in Braunton and along the coast see more corrosion on anything outside: flue terminals, grilles, condensate pipes and the casing screws on outside units. I check what I can reach and tell you what I find.
Older cottages in the village centre sometimes have boilers in tight cupboards or under stairs with little ventilation. I check the ventilation and the flue as part of every service.
Before the season: servicing holiday lets in Saunton and Croyde
A boiler in a let that stands empty all winter has had no chance to show a fault. Servicing it before you open up means I'm the one who finds the sticky pump or the low pressure, not your first guests.
If you also need the landlord gas safety check for the let, I can do both on one visit. A standard gas boiler service and a landlord gas safety check for one appliance on the same visit is £145, instead of £210 booked separately. With the full gas boiler service it is £225, instead of £290. Both prices include VAT. It costs less because it's one visit instead of two, and it can't be combined with any other reduction.
Which of the two services should I book?
Book the standard service most years, and the full service when the burner and heat exchanger are due a proper clean. It covers the normal safety and combustion checks, plus routine checks and cleaning of the parts I can reach. It does not include taking the burner out, a new burner gasket or the Full gas boiler service clean.
A Full gas boiler service is £185 including VAT. It adds a new burner gasket, a full clean of the heat exchanger and burner, and inspection and cleaning of the ignition electrodes and the flame sensor. Most boilers need the full service every three to five years, depending on how hard they work. Viessmann boilers need it every year, because of how the burner and heat exchanger are built.
Not sure? Book the standard service. If I find the burner or the heat exchanger needs the full clean, I'll tell you, and the full service can be booked for next time.
FAQs: boiler servicing in Braunton
What do you clean on a standard service?
On a standard service I clean the condensate trap and the magnetic filter. Other parts I can reach are inspected, and if something needs cleaning or replacing, I explain why and give you a price before doing it.
Will you remind me next year?
Yes, a year on from this one.
Do you service LPG boilers in the villages?
No. I don't work on LPG boilers. For LPG, you need a Gas Safe engineer whose registration covers LPG work.
