Professional Oil Boiler Installation Across Hampshire
Using premium-grade oil-fired boilers, high-efficiency burner units and OFTEC-compliant installation standards, MBW Plumbing & Heating fits systems engineered for rural Hampshire properties. We cover tank siting (bunded or double-skin), insulated pipe runs, frost protection, burner commissioning and flue termination. Every install finishes with full commissioning paperwork, OFTEC documentation and clear handover notes for homeowners off the mains network.
— Our Process
How It Works
Site survey & design
A founder-led engineer surveys the property, assesses tank siting, run lengths, frost risk and access, then specifies boiler, burner and pump arrangements tailored to the home.
Installation & commissioning
We fit the boiler, burner, flue and tank (bunded where required), install insulated pipework and pumps, complete burner setup, and carry out OFTEC-standard commissioning checks.
Handover & certification
You get full OFTEC documentation, commissioning certificates, operation guidance and advice on servicing intervals — plus options for a service plan and 24-hour support.

Why Choose us for Oil Boiler Installation?
OFTEC-registered technical competence
Work carried out to OFTEC standards by a qualified team — installations include correct flue termination, burner setup and certified commissioning paperwork.
Rural-focused installs
Practical experience with bunded tanks, long pipe runs, frost protection and pump arrangements ensures reliable performance for cottages, farmhouses and outlying properties.
Honest, founder-led service
16 years' hands-on experience from owner Mike Walton means clear recommendations, no unnecessary upsell and practical maintenance options including Bronze/Silver/Gold plans.
Tank siting and pipework are as important as the boiler itself. For rural installs we advise on tank location, bunding requirements, fill point access and protected pipe runs to avoid frost damage. Long oil runs need correctly sized pipework and anti-syphon arrangements; we specify pumped or gravity-fed systems depending on site constraints.
Every installation is completed to OFTEC standards. That includes correct flue termination, burner calibration, safety checks and a full commissioning record. MBW provides the paperwork you need for insurance and future servicing, plus practical handover notes so you know how the system operates and how to maintain your tank and burner between services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bunded (double-skinned) tanks are recommended and often required by insurers for above-ground oil storage. They provide secondary containment in the event of a leak. During the site survey we'll advise whether bunding, extra containment or a different siting is necessary for your property.
