Iam really just interested in doing this work in my free time I dont really want to take on multi million pound companies. Do I need to get qualifications to work on oil boilers?

 

[Keefy]

Is it oil or gas you want to get into?

Edit: Nevermind, you said oil.

 

[xboilx]

Oil I suppose to start with

Are there many people using oil boilers in the area you want to provide your service to?

 

[xboilx]

Yes 90% of the people in my town are still on oil.

 

[lame plumber]

its not something you go out and learn in your spare time, if you want to work in oil the sort of investment my well put you off, i expect my tools would cost around £5k to replace if not more and spares in the van were over ££2k last time I checked. With out seeming rude, youre idea is somewhat insulting to say the least.

 

[xboilx]

I really didnt expect that much money to be involved in the tools.

 

[Keefy]

Yes 90% of the people in my town are still on oil.

May I ask what area is this?

 

[xboilx]

Northern Ireland

Co Down

 

[lame plumber]

sorry you need more than a mixer and a bucket of trowels!

 

[REDSAW]

you need to check the competition in your area and further like dunstable, aylesbury etc as folk will travel to those jobs like bg.
no good if your not cheaper!

Will I need qualifications to work on oil boilers?
