For homeowners:

You’re usually responsible for arranging and paying for servicing, repairs and replacements. If you’re selling or renting out your home, up-to-date service records may be required.

For renters:

Your landlord is typically responsible for boiler servicing and repairs. If you spot a problem, report it in writing ASAP. If they use a tradesperson from Checkatrade, you can check their qualifications and reviews before they visit.
