You can be assured that after our boiler service your oil boiler will run:

Cheaper, Safer & Greener.

Just like your car, your oil boiler and central heating system needs a regular service to ensure it is running as it should: for efficiency, safety and reliability. A regular boiler service reduces the risk of a breakdown.

What an annual boiler service includes

A detailed service includes inspection of the pipe work, ventilation and clearances. The system is then inspected, cleaned and reassembled, and the boiler functions are checked for safe and correct operation. Finally a combustion efficiency test is carried out to make sure the appliance is operating at its maximum performance levels.

Why should I service my boiler?

Regular servicing makes sure the boiler is working to the manufacturer's specifications. This helps prolong the life of the boiler and reduces the risk of faults and expensive repairs down the line.

What does a service fix?

A boiler service will remove any sooting and, by adjustment, will re-establish the optimum combustion conditions. By checking the safety controls, early failures can be detected and rectified in good time.

How often?

Most boiler manufacturers recommend an annual service, mainly on the grounds of safety but also for reliability. We also provide an emergency breakdown callout service for your oil boiler.

“Conor has been servicing the boiler here for over 12 years.”
Jackie Walsh, Google review, a year ago
“I had a problem with my boiler, called Conor he came out next day, ordered a part and true to his word was back a few days later. A very genuine guy, knows his job inside out, spotlessly clean worker. Don't look any further, if you have a problem with the boiler, just call him. One of the best tradesman I have dealt with in years. Will only use him from now on for servicing.”
