Do I need to book an engineer straight away?
That depends on the symptoms, but repeated faults, no heating, no hot water and any sign of leaks should be checked promptly.

How Often Should a Boiler Be Serviced?
Most boilers should be serviced every year. An annual service helps catch wear, safety issues and efficiency problems before they turn into a breakdown or a bigger repair bill.
Why annual servicing is the usual standard
A yearly service gives the boiler a regular safety and performance check. That interval is frequent enough to spot wear and changes in system behaviour without leaving long gaps.
When you should book sooner than the annual date
Book earlier if the boiler has started making noise, pressure keeps dropping, the hot water is inconsistent or the appliance is showing new fault codes.
What servicing helps prevent
Servicing can reduce the chance of avoidable breakdowns by identifying leaks, pressure issues, combustion concerns and worn components before they worsen.
