Boilers & Maintenance Your burner system is crucial, so we think it needs looking after. That’s why we created BurnerCare. We just think it adds up –

How do you make sure that your burner operation is efficient and reliable?

Burner commissioning – on site start up service to ensure maximum efficiency.

Plus Annual service agreements – planned maintenance, discounted service visits and cost effective spare parts pricing.

Plus 24/7 breakdown response – single visit solution for most emergency call outs.

Plus Spare parts – comprehensive stockholding for virtually any gas burner system.

Plus Gas flow measurement – supply and installation of gas flow meters.

So whatever your question about burner efficiency and reliability, we think total burner care from Lanemark is the answer.
