Oil boiler servicing,
from £95.

A standard oil boiler service is £95 including a new nozzle, photocell clean, combustion check and written report. Landlord certificate on top is £20. All-in with a minor repair on the day is from £140.

Every 12 months. Oil boilers accumulate soot and sludge faster than gas, so skipping a year noticeably hurts efficiency and can fail your manufacturer warranty.

Warmflow, Grant, Worcester Heatslave, Firebird, Trianco, Riello burners, Mistral, most domestic oil-fired boilers sold in NI. Message us with the make and model if you're not sure.

Yes, OFTEC registered. OFTEC is to oil what Gas Safe is to gas: the statutory competence register. Installers issue OFTEC-format inspection sheets and our Every installer is Gas Safe registered in their own name if you also have gas appliances.

Yes. A nozzle change is part of the standard service. If the installer finds a failed photocell or leaking flexi, an installer will quote the repair before doing it.

Late summer or early autumn, August to October. Oil systems sit idle through summer and the first hard week of cold weather is when sludged tanks, stuck pumps and old nozzles all show up at once. Booking early picks your date instead of fighting for the last slot in November.

Sediment in the tank that's been settling all summer, a nozzle that's burning too rich and sooting the heat exchanger, a photocell that's marginal in dim conditions, a sticking pump that won't lift on a cold morning, weak fuel line connections that weep when ambient temperatures drop. All small jobs in October; all emergencies in February.

Yes. Cheaper to fill in late summer when oil prices typically dip, and a full tank reduces condensation, which is the source of the water and sludge that causes pump and nozzle failures. Aim for a full tank by mid-October.
