Local to you
Reading born and based, in Tilehurst since 2003.
Surefire is run by Sean, a Gas Safe registered engineer with over 30 years on the tools, working out of Tilehurst (RG30). He's City & Guilds Level 3 qualified, British Gas trained and fully insured, and he's been running the firm here since 2003. Being local to Reading means we're rarely far away. We're on streets across town most weeks, from Caversham to Earley, Calcot to Woodley.
Sean's son has now joined the business, so it stays a proper family firm, but whether your boiler's packed up, you need a new one fitted, or you're a landlord chasing a gas safety certificate, you still deal with the same engineer every time. No call centre, no faceless chain, just a proper local firm that turns up when it says it will.
As Sean puts it: "We offer a professional, but friendly and polite service. We take great pride in our work and are always fair and honest with our customers." That approach has kept us in The Little Green Book Directory of Excellence since 2015, and it's why so much of our work in Reading comes from customers passing our name on.

Why Surefire
Why Reading homeowners and landlords call us first
Reading has everything from Victorian terraces in the centre to new-builds out in the suburbs, and we've worked on all of them. That experience means we diagnose faults quickly and fit the right boiler for the property, not the most expensive one going. We're manufacturer-approved by Vaillant and Glowworm, so the boilers we fit come with up to ten years' free manufacturer's warranty.
For Reading landlords, our automated reminder system keeps every annual gas safety certificate on time. We email you before each one is due, arrange tenant access and get the job done, with the paperwork sent over electronically, taking the hassle and the legal risk off your plate.
