Climate, water hardness, building age and infrastructure all leave fingerprints on a heating system. These are the patterns we see week in, week out. ### Victorian terrace pipework restricting modern boiler output RG terraces along Oxford Road and West Reading often have legacy 1/2-inch copper that throttles modern combi flow. We re-pipe primary runs in 22mm and measure flow before quoting. ### Green Park-area apartments with strict block rules Modern apartment blocks have block-management rules covering flue positions and working hours. We pre-agree everything before booking the install. ### Tilehurst estate boilers needing power flush before swap Many post-war Tilehurst systems have run for 25+ years without a flush. We power flush and fit magnetic filters before fitting a new boiler, protecting the warranty and the investment. ### Town-centre commercial heating neglect We service and replace commercial cascades and warm-air heaters for Reading businesses, Powrmatic, Reznor, Combat and Remeha units. Our process ## Same system every job. No improvising on your floor. 1. 01 ### Free site survey We look at the actual property, the mains supply and the existing system before we quote. 2. 02 ### Fixed written quote Itemised, no vague allowances, no commission upsells. Take it home and read it. 3. 03 ### Scheduled install Slot booked in writing.
