Heating Engineer
Serving Berkshire
We cover East Berkshire regularly — Slough, Windsor, Maidenhead, Bracknell and closer parts of Reading and Wokingham — for boiler installation, repair, servicing, CP12 landlord certificates and complete central heating upgrades.
Working in Berkshire,
not just passing through.
East Berkshire has two very different housing profiles side by side. Windsor, Ascot and Maidenhead skew towards larger detached and period family houses — usually system boiler and unvented cylinder territory. Slough and closer Reading, by contrast, are dense terraced and semi housing — often combi replacements and CP12 landlord work.
We're on the M4 and A308/A404 corridor regularly, so booked installs and servicing in these areas rarely attract any travel premium.
Same standard as every job: Ian personally attends, Gas Safe 952303 on every certificate, twelve-month follow-up included.

What we see
most often in Berkshire.
Berkshire properties present a distinctive mix of heating faults, driven by hard water, a wide housing-stock range and heavy landlord activity in the terraced belt.
Hard-water scale across the Thames Valley
Berkshire water is genuinely hard. Combi heat exchangers scale quickly without scale-reduction kits on the cold feed. Symptoms are hot-water temperature swings and eventual noisy failure — preventable with a proper install spec.
Terrace combi swaps in Slough and Reading
Tight service cupboards, awkward flue routes and shared party-wall gas runs make Slough and Reading terrace combi swaps a design job, not a phone-quote job. We assess on site and quote in writing.
Unvented cylinders in larger Windsor and Ascot homes
System boiler and unvented cylinder is the standard configuration in the larger Windsor, Ascot and Maidenhead housing. G3 qualified installation and annual servicing are essential — we hold the G3 certification.
Landlord CP12 batching
Landlords with portfolios across Slough and Reading often batch CP12 renewals on a single visit day, particularly during summer void periods. We coordinate multi-property visits.
Cold conservatories on family homes
Conservatories and glazed extensions across Maidenhead and Wokingham often need dedicated heating rather than being tapped onto the existing circuit. We size and install correctly.
