The service
We find the fault others miss.
A boiler that locks out, drops to low pressure, makes a noise or leaves you with no heating or hot water usually has one root cause, and finding it quickly is a skill. With over 30 years repairing every make and model, British Gas trained and manufacturer-approved by Vaillant and Glowworm, Sean finds the actual fault rather than throwing parts at it.
We're experts in fault diagnosis on most makes and models of boiler, and we carry a wide range of spare parts on the van so we can find the fault and fix it the same day wherever possible. For boiler repair in Reading and across Berkshire that means an honest assessment, upfront pricing, and, where we can, the boiler back up and running the same visit. If a part has to be ordered we'll tell you straight and get it sorted fast.

- Same-day where we can: no heat or hot water treated as a priority
- Honest advice: we'll tell you if a repair isn't worth it
- Every job guaranteed: all our work guaranteed. Sean stands behind it

Repair, or is it time for a new boiler?
Sometimes a repair is the sensible call. Sometimes you're better off putting the money towards a new, efficient boiler with a long warranty. We'll give you a straight answer either way, never a hard sell.
If a replacement makes sense, we're manufacturer-approved by Vaillant and Glowworm and can register up to ten years' free manufacturer's warranty. We'll quote that for free alongside the repair so you can decide.
