Boiler cutting out

k mac · 2011-01-15 19:44:38

My outdoor oil heating boiler is working but it goes for about 30 seconds then cuts out and restarts a couple of secs later.Could it need servicing and if so is it a big job, could i do it myself?

Get it serviced again, it sounds to me like it could do with checking the nozzle size, it might be worth down rating the burner so you get less cycling.
