Oil Boiler Specialists You Can Trust
At Boilers24-7, we understand that oil heating systems have their own quirks, from tank levels and delivery timing to the specific fault patterns that affect oil-fired boilers rather than gas ones. As OFTEC registered engineers, we specialise specifically in oil boiler servicing and repair.
We serve homes across Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Cranbrook, Wadhurst, Goudhurst, Hawkhurst, Bodiam, and surrounding areas — many of which rely on oil heating due to being off the mains gas network.
Oil Boiler Servicing
Regular annual servicing matters just as much for oil boilers as gas ones, arguably more, since oil systems are more prone to issues like sludge build-up in the tank, and nozzle/filter blockages if left unchecked.
Our oil boiler service includes:
Full safety and combustion efficiency check
Nozzle, filter, and fuel line inspection and cleaning
Flue and ventilation assessment
Ignition and control system check
Tank and supply line visual inspection
Written service report on completion
Cost: An oil boiler service can take between 1–2 hours, depending on the condition of the boiler. We charge £110+VAT per hour, so you only pay for the time your boiler needs. Any parts or repairs are quoted separately, and we’ll always confirm the cost with you before starting.
Oil Boiler Repair
If your oil boiler isn’t firing up, is producing no heat or hot water, or is showing signs of a fault, we offer prompt, honest diagnosis and repair.
Common oil boiler issues we fix:
Boiler not firing / no ignition
No heat or intermittent heat
Oil supply or delivery line faults
Nozzle blockages and poor combustion
Kettling or unusual noises
Leaks around the boiler or oil lines
Cost: Repairs are charged at £110+VAT per hour, plus parts where needed. We’ll confirm the full cost with you before any work goes ahead.
Why Choose an OFTEC Registered Engineer?
Oil heating systems are regulated separately from gas, OFTEC (not Gas Safe) is the recognised body for oil boiler installation, servicing, and repair in the UK. Using an OFTEC registered engineer isn’t just best practice, it’s what insurers and building regulations expect for oil heating work.
All our engineers are OFTEC registered, fully insured, and experienced specifically with the oil systems common across Kent and East Sussex’s rural and semi-rural properties.
Running Low on Oil, or Completely Out?
If your boiler has stopped because your tank has run dry, this isn’t always a simple refill-and-go situation. Running an oil boiler completely dry can allow air into the fuel line, which typically needs bleeding by an engineer before the boiler will fire correctly again. If you’ve run out and your boiler won’t restart even after a refill, that’s usually why - get in touch and we’ll talk you through it or come out to help.

FAQs

Are you OFTEC registered?

Which areas do you cover for oil boilers?
We cover Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Cranbrook, Wadhurst, Goudhurst, Hawkhurst, Bodiam and the surrounding villages across Kent and East Sussex.
My oil tank ran dry and the boiler won’t restart. What should I do?
Running dry can let air into the fuel line, and the boiler usually won’t fire again until the line has been bled, even after a refill. Call us on 07375 125565 and we’ll talk you through it or come out to sort it.
How often should an oil boiler be serviced?
Once a year. Oil boilers are more prone than gas to sludge build-up and blocked nozzles or filters, so an annual service keeps them efficient and helps avoid breakdowns in winter.
