I have had a few boiler repairs lately (oil) and would like to carry some spares , (not a lot !!!!) stuff like nozzles , the odd control box , flexi hoses etc. just basic stuff so when I get a repair or service job that I can try the obvious first as such before ordering more expensive parts. I have a kane 250 analyser oil kit model so have the smoke pump + gauges as I went gas safe registered firs as could not afford oftec too at the time. but am thinking of joining now, so any recommendations of a few stock I could carry, don't want to spend more than around £100ish quid , I that enough?. a few recommendations of most popular parts around.
thanks
my stock of nozzles is over £400 + vat!!, spare photo cells, capacitors,control boxes, AAVs, flexis, filters, electrodes, fire valve tester, fire valves, bearings for motors, wicks,vapour shells, soon a spare new burner (not wasting time on 2nds again), suction pump, tank transfer pump, solenoids, valve stems,ceramic insulation boards, rope seals, assorted flared fittings, coil of 10mm cu, list is endless and around £4000 plus at present.
If you spent £100, stick to vapourising range cookers, £20 on wicks and £100 on a new oil valve.
It is not cheap putting a van stock together for oil, but if you are wanting to get customer confidence the ability to pull a part out of the van is essential, especially if your in a rural area.
