Our Services
Heating systems designed around how your home actually runs
Every home uses heating differently. That is why we do not recommend systems from a brochure or over the phone. We start with a proper survey, then explain your options clearly so you can choose what actually suits your property and how you live.
New Boiler Installation
A correctly sized boiler for your home, not a standard recommendation. Installed properly to run efficiently and last.

Our Approach
Heating engineers in Reading who get it right first time
Most heating problems come down to systems that were never set up properly. Poor sizing, rushed installs and shortcuts during commissioning all lead to issues later on.
Every job starts with a proper survey, so your system is designed around your home, installed correctly and set up to run as it should from day one.
The result is a heating system that works reliably, runs efficiently and does not need constant fixing or ongoing adjustments. Most correctly installed heating systems should run reliably for years without ongoing issues.

FAQs
Questions customers often ask
How much does a new boiler cost?
The cost depends on your property, the type of system required and how complex the installation is. After a home survey, you receive a fixed price based on what your home actually needs, rather than a rough estimate.
Should I repair or replace my boiler?
This depends on the age of the boiler, the type of fault and how often issues are occurring. You will be given clear advice on whether a repair is sensible or whether replacement is the better long-term option.
How long does installation take?
Most standard boiler installations are completed within one to two days. More complex systems, including unvented cylinders or underfloor heating, may take longer depending on the scope of work.
How disruptive is the work?
Disruption is kept to a minimum with clean working practices and clear planning. You will be told in advance what access is needed and how long parts of the system will be offline.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes, surveys and quotes for new installations are provided without obligation. This allows the system to be properly assessed before any price is given.
Is there a call-out fee for repairs?
A diagnostic fee applies for repair visits, which is usually deducted from the final repair cost if you go ahead with the work.
What warranties do I get?
Manufacturer warranties of up to 5 to 12 years are available on approved installations, alongside a standard workmanship guarantee on labour.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover Reading and the surrounding areas, as well as wider coverage across Berkshire, Surrey and parts of Hampshire.
How quickly will you respond to my enquiry?
Most enquiries are responded to the same working day where possible, or the next working day if received outside business hours.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Most work is booked a few weeks in advance. This allows time to plan the job properly rather than rushing installations.
