If you’re looking for a boiler installation in Reading, Earley, Woodley, Caversham or anywhere across Berkshire, the installer you choose genuinely matters. My father, A. L. Fletcher, has been fitting boilers for over 40 years. His approach has never changed: do the job properly, take pride in the work, and look after people long‑term. When a boiler is installed the right way, it should run for years — helped along by a 10‑year manufacturer warranty and a yearly service to keep everything healthy.
That level of care is what our family business is built on.
* You get real craftsmanship from someone who knows your home
* Your heating system is designed around your property, not a template
* You deal with one engineer — not a call centre
* Controls are set up properly (zoning, weather/load compensation, smart thermostats)
* You get long‑term support from someone who actually remembers your system
* Friendly, local service from a family business
What we specialise in
* Older or more complicated heating systems
* Larger homes and multi‑zone setups
* Hot water cylinder upgrades
* Smart thermostat and control integration
* Heat‑pump‑ready improvements
* Fixing comfort and efficiency issues
* Ongoing care and continuity
A good engineer doesn’t just “fit a boiler”. They build a system that’s reliable, efficient and set up to last. That means proper pipework, system filters, flushing, and making choices that protect your boiler for the long run.
Think of it like a car: passing an MOT is fine, but if you never service it, problems will catch up with you.
Companies like BOXT, Heatable and WarmZilla have grown fast. Their model is built around convenience — and for simple jobs, it works.
Why Online Installers Appeal:
* Quick online quotes
* Attractive fixed prices
* No home survey
* Huge networks of installers — the “Amazons” of the heating world
Because many of their installers are paid per job, not per quality, neither they nor an online form will pick up on things like:
* Undersized pipework
* Poor system balancing
* Old S‑plan/Y‑plan wiring
* Bad thermostat placement
* Radiators that never heat properly
* Missed opportunities for zoning or weather compensation
These are the details that affect comfort, running costs and long‑term reliability — and they’re exactly the things a local engineer spots straight away.
