Good to see we are all on top form tonight!!! No dyslexia just totally crap typing and i saved teh in the dictionary by accident so it doesn't pick up on it!!! Hope that is that sorted!!! Well any smoke that i have seen coming out of an oil boiler has usually been black so im assuming its...

Oilman, Have sent this to your email address as well to double my chances of you answering it. Went back to that Riello and changed the nozzle. No joy. Stuck in a new pump and away she went. I set up the pump and burner as best i can using my Riello Training manual. 60 80 S nozzle...

Hi Guys, I wont go into all the beneifts of plastic oil tanks as everyone has their views on them. Major beneift is ease of install. More and more are going bunded now anyway so they are safer again. I will replace the nozzle tonight and hopefully that will let me away. I preach to...

Hi guys, Was out at a Baxi 105 e last night where the owner was complaining that she was only getting luke warm HW. I cleaned everything down, cleaned out the gas valve and re set the pressures. Checked the flow in HW taps with flow cup and they were okay. Only way i could get the HW up...

Without giving too much away i actually design them so there!!!! Oil is not my number line of business but i know enough about it to know that it has sucked water up through the line and yes i have purged the line and yes i have made sure that there is no water left in the line and yes i have...

Tony, Yeah i see what you mean!!! That sentence doesnt reallt read very well. Lets put my standing to bed!! Im still wet behind the ears but learning really fast and always do the best job possible!!!! Getting back to getting work i reckon the face to face thing may work better than a...

To clarify Simond, I both service boilers and do break downs also. I want to have 200 houses to look after i.e. any work that needs doen on the boilers i do it and possibly tie them into a service contract also. I do work all over the city at present but it would be nice to have the work...

Yeah part of the reason i got into servicing boilers was the promise of meeting loads of house wives!!!! Hasnt happened mind you. Tony, i only service boilers and wouldnt really be in a position to quote for any other work as i wouldnt have a notion what im talking about!! Think i will...

Cheers for the advice guys. I take it summer is the best time to offer servicing work as it picks up the slack when not doing call outs!!! G

Yeah i take on board what you are saying. I only work in the evenings and just want to build up a portfolio of 200 houses. I have an ad in the yellow pages but just wonder should i be doing more?? I live in an area of belfast which probably has about 400 houses in total so if i could tie...

Tony, Im continually giving thought on how to advertise and am now curious about your idea for a free efficency check. IMHO if you offer someone something for free they will snap it up and it gets you into the house and i can work my magic from there. What exactly would you include in...

Hi there, I have a small bathroom in a terrace house and have a problem with the paint on the ceiling peeling off. This is due to steam coming off the electric shower. I have an extractor fan and when i leave the window open at all times it isnt a problem. However my flatmate insists on...

Alright guys, Yeah i know it is normal for them to leak after you have filled it but this one hasnt stopped leaking. Just a constant drip as opposed to a leak but still needs sorted. Take it draining down and refilling wont do any good?? G
