AGA & Rayburn Specialists in Newbury & Berkshire — FAQs

Do you service both Aga and Rayburn oil-fired cookers?

Yes. Our OFTEC registered engineers service and repair oil-fired Aga and Rayburn range cookers across Berkshire — including burner servicing, combustion analysis and replacement of nozzles, photocells, electrodes and filters.

How often should an oil-fired Aga or Rayburn be serviced?

Annual servicing is recommended for oil-fired range cookers that run continuously. Regular maintenance helps prevent smoke, poor combustion, lockouts and rising fuel consumption — especially before the winter months.

Why is my oil-fired Aga not heating properly?

A worn nozzle, blocked filter, failing photocell, thermostat problem or burner fault can reduce heat or stop the appliance. Our OFTEC engineers use combustion analysis and component testing to diagnose the cause properly.

Can you repair Aga controls, thermostats and timers?

Yes. We diagnose and repair control, thermostat and timer faults that cause inconsistent oven temperatures, hot plate issues or unexpected shutdowns on oil-fired range cookers.
