Why choose us for oil boiler servicing?
Specialist Oil Boiler Care
Oil boilers need different skills and tools to gas boilers. Our engineers have the experience to service them correctly.
Prevent Breakdowns
A regular service catches issues like blocked nozzles and contaminated oil before they cause a breakdown.
Efficient Burning
A clean oil boiler burns fuel more efficiently, so you use less oil and keep your heating costs down.
Reliable Heating All Year
Annual servicing keeps your oil boiler dependable through the coldest months, when you need it most.
Signs you need oil boiler servicing
Your oil boiler has not been serviced in 12 months
Oil boilers require annual servicing to maintain safe combustion and prevent soot build up. Missing a service increases the risk of breakdown and inefficient burning.
You are using more oil than usual
A dirty or poorly adjusted oil burner wastes fuel. If your oil deliveries are becoming more frequent without a change in usage, your boiler needs a service.
Yellow or smoky flame
A healthy oil burner flame is blue. A yellow or smoky flame indicates incomplete combustion, which produces soot and carbon monoxide. This requires immediate attention.
Soot around the boiler or flue
Visible soot deposits near the boiler or flue terminal signal poor combustion. A service cleans the burner and heat exchanger and restores clean, efficient burning.
The boiler is struggling to heat your home
If your radiators are not getting hot or the boiler is cycling on and off frequently, the burner may need cleaning or the nozzle may be partially blocked.

What is the difference between an oil and gas boiler service?
Oil boilers require different tools, parts and expertise. The burner nozzle and oil filter are replaced at every service, and the combustion is tested using a flue gas analyser calibrated for oil. Gas boiler services do not involve nozzle replacement.
Can water in my oil tank damage my boiler?
Yes. Water in the oil tank causes corrosion, sludge build up and burner damage. It is one of the most common causes of oil boiler breakdowns in rural properties. We check for water contamination during every service.
How can I make my oil boiler more efficient?
Annual servicing is the most effective way to maintain efficiency. A clean burner nozzle and correctly adjusted combustion can reduce oil consumption by up to 10%. We also recommend keeping your oil tank topped up to prevent condensation.
