Boiler often won't start or cuts out

Frequently (though not all the time) our oil fired boiler fails to "kick into action" and we need to push the reset button to get it to fire up or it cuts out after being in use for a period of time. It's frustrating to have to dive out first thing in the morning to restart it but the boiler is serviced regularly and the plumber has tested all the parts but can't find any obvious problem. We keep the temperature fairly low but increasing it didn't resolve the problem - suggestions welcome please!

Get it serviced by a more experienced service engineer.
