I provide 24 hour emergency oil boiler repairs in Upham, seven days a week. From my Botley base, my typical response time is around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic, any job already underway and the nature of the emergency.
If your boiler is leaking oil, producing smoke, overheating or appears unsafe, switch it off if you can do so safely and keep clear of the appliance until I arrive. See my emergency oil boiler repairs page for further advice.

Your Local Oil Boiler Engineer in Upham
Upham and Lower Upham are surrounded by rural lanes and properties spread across the parish, with many homes relying on oil rather than mains gas for heating. This means the oil supply is an important part of keeping the heating system running properly.
I work on the complete oil heating system rather than looking at the boiler in isolation. If an oil boiler will not fire, keeps locking out or is not running as it should, I can check the boiler alongside the oil supply and associated components to identify where the problem is. There is no VAT charged on labour.
I also handle general plumbing in the village; see my plumber in Upham page.
Oil Boiler Installation and Replacement in Upham
When an existing oil boiler has reached end of life, I assess the system, controls, flue and oil supply before recommending a replacement. On a rural Upham property, the position of the oil tank and the route of the oil line to the boiler needs consideration.
Fitting a new oil boiler involves more than swapping the appliance. I look at the existing system as a whole, explain what needs changing and what can remain, and recommend a suitable replacement for the property.
Oil Boiler Servicing in Upham
Rural systems age in their own way: long oil lines, outdoor tanks and older burners all benefit from a yearly check. OFTEC recommends the tank and pipework are inspected alongside the boiler at least annually.
As part of a service I test the burner and combustion, check the safety controls and look over the oil supply. If you need oil boiler servicing in Upham, I will explain any repairs worth doing before they become a breakdown.
Oil Tank and Fuel Line Problems for Oil Boilers in Upham
Many properties around Upham rely on oil heating because they are away from the mains-gas network. The boiler is only one part of that system, so problems with the oil tank or fuel supply can also cause boiler breakdowns.
I can check the fuel supply alongside the boiler when an appliance will not fire, repeatedly locks out or is not running correctly. On rural properties, the tank may be some distance from the boiler, so the condition and route of the oil line can be important when diagnosing a fault.
