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.

A yearly gas boiler service in Combe Martin is £105 including VAT for the standard service and £185 for the full one. I'm George Lane of Tarka Boilers, Gas Safe registered (No. 515374), based in North Devon, and I service mains-gas boilers in Combe Martin and Berrynarbor. Travel is included.

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.
Properties in Combe Martin: coast, cottages and lets
Houses near the bay live with salt air, which is hard on flue terminals and anything metal outside. On a service I check the terminal, the flue and the condensate pipe where I can reach them.
Many holiday lets in the village stand empty for part of the year. A service before the season catches the faults that show up when a boiler starts working hard again, and if the let needs its landlord gas safety check too, both can be done 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.
Standard service or full service?
The standard service in most years, and the full service when the burner and heat exchanger need their deeper clean.
| Standard, £105 | Full, £185 | |
|---|---|---|
| Safety and combustion checks | Yes | Yes |
| Condensate trap and magnetic filter cleaned | Yes | Yes |
| Burner out, new burner gasket | No | Yes |
| Full heat exchanger and burner clean | No | Yes |
| Ignition electrodes and flame sensor cleaned | No | Yes |
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.
Why the electrodes wait for the full service
The ignition electrodes and the flame sensor are inspected and cleaned on the Full gas boiler service only. Reaching them can break a combustion seal, and the full service includes the new gasket that makes it good again. On a standard service I don't carry that gasket, so disturbing the seal could leave the boiler unsafe, and I'd rather leave those parts alone than take that risk.
FAQs: boiler servicing in Combe Martin
Do you check the system water?
Yes. A water quality check is part of the service: the inhibitor level, the pH and any signs of corrosion in the system water. Topping up or replacing the inhibitor isn't included, so if the system needs it, I show you what I found and give you a price before doing anything.
I have an oil boiler. Can you service it?
No. I work on mains-gas boilers only. For oil, look for an OFTEC-registered engineer.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let me in and be there for the start. You choose the time when you book. The job before yours can finish early or run on, so when I set off you get a text with a link that shows when I'll arrive.
