Emergency Oil Boiler Repair
Oil Boiler Breakdowns Repaired at Any Hour
An oil-fired boiler that stops working leaves you without heating and hot water until the fault is found. We repair oil boilers 24 hours a day, every day of the year, across Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk. Lockouts are the most common call: the boiler tries to fire, fails, and shuts down with a warning light. The cause can sit in the burner, the fuel supply or the controls, and we check each before replacing anything.
Typical faults include a blocked fuel filter or nozzle, a failed ignition electrode or photocell, a sticking fire valve, water or sludge in the fuel line, and a burner pump that no longer delivers oil at the right pressure. We explain what we find and quote before any work starts. Before you call, check the tank has oil in it, since an empty or nearly empty tank produces the same symptoms.

Why choose us
Why Choose Us for Oil Boiler Breakdowns
Burner and Fuel Line Both Checked
Oil boiler faults often start outside the boiler, so we check the supply from the tank as well as the burner itself.
Help Before We Arrive
We tell you what to check first, such as the oil level, and photos of the boiler sent by WhatsApp help us prepare for the likely repair.
Repairs Around the Clock
Our 24/7 call-outs cover nights, weekends and bank holidays, so a lockout on a cold evening does not mean waiting for the morning.

The work
How We Repair an Oil Boiler
The main stages of the job, from finding the fault to the final check.
Checks over the Phone
We ask about the oil level, warning lights and any smell or smoke, so you know whether the boiler is safe to leave.
Burner and Supply Testing
We inspect the burner, ignition and flame detection, then follow the fuel supply back towards the tank.
Fault Repaired at the Agreed Price
We explain the cause, agree the price with you, then clean or replace the parts at fault.
Firing and Final Checks
We fire the boiler, check it runs cleanly through a heating cycle, then review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.
