In my mind, if you can fit and commission a boiler correctly then the ability to repair and service them is a small step on, as understanding how to commission a boiler means you have the knowledge on how they work therefore a good idea of where to look when they dont. If though you just install them and get someone else to commission them you need to get your oftec quals and go on a couple of manufacturers courses to learn the ropes.

Servicing an oil boiler is like making love to a fat smelly greasy old hag who insists on smoking dog turds while she is on top. Take big hammer and a selection of cold chisels, grinders with a bradded wire brush head and some grinding discs.

As I am in Scotland there is no legislation for OFTEC also the guy I was working for done all the comm and servicing I purely installed.Now I have become self employed looking to service oil boilers with the very definite route of going down the rayburn/aga thanks for your advice do need to contact manufactures
