Which one do you need?

Moving in, or moving out?

Two different inspections for two different moments in a move — pick the one that matches where you are.

For buyers · moving in
The 25-Point New Home Inspection
2 hours on site£192

Just moved? Avoid nasty surprises. This goes far beyond a standard service to give you a full report on your new home’s gas, water and heating system — before winter finds the problems for you.

  • Full boiler service — Gas Safe safety and efficiency check
  • Water quality lab test — checking for hidden sludge or corrosion
  • Radiator & valve audit — testing for leaks and seized TRVs
  • Controls setup — we’ll show you how to use and program your new controls
Book the New Home Inspection
For sellers · moving out
Seller’s Gas Safety & Boiler Service
1 hour on site£150

Protect your sale and asking price. A service record and Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) provide the “enquiry stage” proof solicitors and buyers demand — helping you avoid last-minute renegotiations and exchange faster.

  • Full boiler service — deep clean and component check for peak efficiency
  • Gas Safety Certificate — industry-standard legal safety proof
  • System health check — spots “niggle” leaks before surveyors do
  • Digital docs — instant copies for your agent or solicitor

Why choose Thermotec

Built for the pace of a house move

Moves run on deadlines set by solicitors, chains and completion dates — not by trade availability. Here’s how Thermotec fits around that.

Same-day digital documents
Service records and Gas Safety Certificates are emailed the same day — ready to forward straight to your agent, solicitor or buyer.
Fixed price, booked in advance
£192 or £150, confirmed before the visit. No surprise extras when completion dates are already tight enough.
Exact arrival times
Book your exact slot online 24/7. No 6-hour windows to plan a move-in or final viewing around.
Gas Safe Reg. 599015
Fully qualified, insured and Gas Safe registered — the certification solicitors and buyers actually check for.
Goes beyond a standard service
Water quality testing and a full valve audit aren’t part of a typical annual service — they catch what a buyer’s survey misses.
Calls answered 24/7
Stuart follows up out-of-hours messages first thing — useful when exchange dates move fast and you need an answer quickly.
FAQ

Moving home — common questions

What is included in the 25-Point New Home Inspection?
A full Gas Safe boiler service, a water quality lab test checking for hidden sludge or corrosion, a radiator and valve audit testing for leaks and seized TRVs, and a walkthrough of your heating controls so you know how to use and program them. The visit takes around 2 hours and costs £192 fixed price.
Do I need a Gas Safety Certificate to sell my house?
It isn’t a legal requirement to sell, but a recent service record and Gas Safety Certificate give buyers and solicitors the proof they typically ask for at enquiry stage, helping avoid delays or last-minute renegotiations over the heating system.
How much does the seller’s gas safety and boiler service cost?
The Seller’s Essential Gas Safety & Boiler Service is £150 for a 1-hour visit, fixed price, and includes a full boiler service plus a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate, with digital copies issued the same day for your agent or solicitor.
Why should I get my heating checked before moving into a new home?
A standard home buyer’s survey only visually checks gas appliances — it doesn’t test internal system health, sludge levels, valve condition or smart control setup. A full inspection catches problems before they become a winter breakdown in a house you’ve only just moved into.
How quickly can I get the documents for my solicitor or estate agent?
Digital copies of the service record and Gas Safety Certificate are issued the same day, ready to send straight to your agent or solicitor — useful when an enquiry or exchange deadline is close.
I’m both buying and selling — can I book both inspections?
Yes — many Wokingham movers book the Seller’s Service for their current home and the New Home Inspection for the property they’re moving into. Book online or call to arrange both around your moving dates.
