Oil boiler servicing in Andover, Hampshire

What happens on the visit

Oil boilers need a yearly service more than most. Soot builds up in the combustion chamber, nozzles wear and filters block, and an unserviced oil boiler is far more likely to lock out in cold weather. Dexter is OFTEC registered and services oil boilers across Andover and the rural villages around it.

A full oil service means the burner is taken apart and cleaned, the nozzle and oil filter are replaced, the electrodes and photocell are checked, the heat exchanger and baffles are cleaned, and the burner is set up again with a combustion analyser. Dexter also looks at the oil line and the tank and tells you if anything needs attention.

Excellent experience with Dexter servicing our boiler. He arranged to come promptly, carried out a thorough service explaining what he had found. Tidy, friendly and reasonably priced. Have used him twice now for different things and will continue to do so.

Dexter was absolutely brilliant. Contacted him via check a trade for a boiler service. Dexter arrived and noticed a few issues with the boiler before doing the service. He explained the issues and then sent us a quote which we accepted. Dexter arrived on the agreed time and date. ...

Recently Dexter conducted an annual service on my boiler. I asked him about the replacement of 3 radiators which were showing some signs of corrosion as well as the decommissioning and removal of an old gas fire. His quote was competitive and realistic, and we agreed a date and a price for the work. ...
