Your annual boiler service by a Gas Safe registered engineer should cost no more than between £50 and £80. You would get a service certificate after every service detailing the service.

No, your service should be undertaken by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is qualified to conduct a service on a gas boiler - and diagnose potential faults.

It depends on how old. After about 10 years gas boiler become less efficient, even Stockport Gas Boilers. Newer boilers are more efficient and eco-friendly, so they should, over time, save you some money. But we understand that a new boiler isn't possible all the time. Servicing and repairs are perfectly acceptable in such circumstances.

So you may be paying a monthly fee as an insurance for your boiler repairs, and this would most of the time include an annual service. However, check the terms and conditions of your plan. Some companies may refuse to repair your repairable boiler due to part costs. They will calculate the cost of a part versus the value of your boiler. 10 year old boilers are deemed to be worth very little, so your policy may preclude a repair, and your service company may try and persuade you to buy a new boiler over a 10 year period or so. 
One of our customers was quoted £49 for a new boiler, and service agreement on a 10 year plan, in exactly these circumstances. Cost over 10 years?  £5880.
We managed to repair this particular boiler for £380.
