Annual boiler servicing is a necessary procedure that ensures your current system is operating to the best of its ability, ensuring against carbon monoxide leaks and prolong the lifespan. Regular maintenance can also help prevent a system breakdown which can be expensive and never welcome.
More importantly an annual service is imperative to maintain your boilers guarantee as in line with manufacturer’s instructions.
We provide a comprehensive emergency breakdown service and maintenance package for all of the above.

All landlords are responsible for the safety of their tenants and legally obliged, under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, to ensure that all gas appliances, fittings, and chimneys/flues provided are safe. All gas appliances must be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction and Gas Safety Checks must be carried out annually on each appliance and flue to ensure these are safe to use. These must be checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
It is important to ensure these checks and tests are carried out as unsafe gas appliances can produce carbon monoxide (CO) and put you at risk of CO poisoning. Through attending properties and checking appliances on an annual basis we can ensure that appliances are safe to operate and that these are running in the most efficient way.
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that has no smell or taste. Breathing it in can make you unwell, and it can kill if you’re exposed to high levels. Household appliances, such as gas fires, boilers, central heating systems, water heaters, cookers and open fires which use gas, oil, coal and wood may be possible sources of carbon monoxide gas.
Due to the legality of Gas Checks we acknowledge the importance of ensuring we are compliant on all of our contracts. A variety of procedures are implemented, dependant on each client, to ensure we are able to access all properties in order to complete the required checks on an annual basis. Our servicing programmes vary from 9 to 12 month cycles, ensuring that we are given enough time to complete these before the due date in the event if any access issues.
Saltire will use a lettering/email process to inform residents of planned appointments several weeks in advance to organise works and enabling residents/ tenants to confirm arrangements and ensure someone is in the property, or alternatively to re-arrange the appointment for a time more convenient to them.
We provide consistently high compliancy rates to over 80,000 properties that we cover.
Saltire offer a range of flexible appointments and time slots to ensure we can accommodate resident’s individual needs. In the event an appointment is deemed inconvenient we encourage residents to contact us in order to rearrange this for a more suitable appointment.
Electrical safety testing is essential to ensure safe operating standards for any product that uses electricity.
Various governing bodies have developed stringent requirements for electrical products that are sold worldwide. In most markets it is mandatory for a product to conform to safety standards promulgated by safety and standard agencies such as NICEIC, BSI and IET. To comply with such high standards, the product must pass safety tests such as the high voltage test (also called as Dielectric voltage-withstand test or high potential test), Insulation Resistance Test, Ground (Earth) Bond & Ground Continuity Test & Leakage Current Test (also called as Line Leakage Test, Earth Leakage Current Test, Enclosure Leakage Current Test or Patient Leakage Current Test). These tests are described in IEC 60335, IEC 61010 and many other recognised national standards.
In general, IEC 60335 is the most widely applied standard for electrical safety testing, especially for domestic appliances. Many safety testing standards in the world have been based on it. To safeguard workplace health and safety, many sections of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation provide guidelines on electrical safety and the appropriate equipment required to work on low and high voltage electrical appliances.
What is an Air Source Heat Pump?
Each year we spend roughly £13.5billion on heating our homes in the UK. Around three quarters of all energy used in UK homes is through heating space and water. With the rising cost of oil and gas, people are looking for renewable and alternative ways to heat their homes. As accredited Vaillant installers, we’re proud to be able to offer a cost-efficient, tried and tested, renewable heating solution!
The Vaillant air source heat pump has been heating homes throughout the UK for over a decade, and the technology it uses has been available even longer, in your fridge! The air source heat pump however, works in reverse.
It sits outside your home in the garden and takes free, renewable energy from the air and upgrades it to provide all the heat and hot water your home could ever need! Having been specifically designed for the UK climate and works in temperatures as low as -25 °C.
Just like traditional water heating, Vaillant systems use a cylinder that distributes the hot water throughout your house. And this leading technology can be controlled by wall mounted displays, remote controls, or even a handy app on your phone.
Air source heat pumps are classed as a renewable technology, meaning that they qualify for payments on the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), the government initiative to promote renewable heat. If you take an average 3 bedroom semi-detached home, you can expect to see payments of around £11,000 over the next seven years.
You can choose to either replace your current heating entirely, or add a Vaillant system to your current heating system and have them working together. And you’ll be pleased to know that it’s won awards for its super-quiet sounds, so there’s no need to worry about upsetting the neighbours!
The affordable, renewable and super-efficient solution creates 4kw of energy for every 1kw used, making it 400% efficient! Installing an air source heat pump means you’ll drastically decrease your carbon footprint, contribute to reaching the government’s climate change targets and save you a lot of money…all while sitting in your cosy home!
