Berkshire Heating Solutions

Gas Safe heating engineers serving Ascot and Berkshire

Berkshire Heating Solutions is a team of Gas Safe registered heating engineers specialising in domestic boiler installation, service and repair. The company is based in Ascot and works throughout Berkshire, with primary coverage of Ascot, Bracknell, Wokingham, Crowthorne, Windsor, Maidenhead and the surrounding areas. It works directly with domestic homeowners.

The business was founded in November 2020 by Jon, its director, after 15 years in the industry, most of them at British Gas. He began as an apprentice and later became a lead technical engineer, specialising in boiler and central heating repairs, fault finding, servicing and wiring, and helping to train new apprentices. The company describes its aim as offering a professional service with a more local and personal touch.

Boiler installations and central heating

The installation side covers straight boiler swaps, conversions to a new combi boiler system and full upgrades of central heating and hot water systems. The company states that it looks for the best and most efficient fit for each property, with a view to saving energy over the lifetime of the system. New boiler installations are primarily carried out by Elliot, Mike and Joel, all with more than 10 years in the industry; their specialisms include new boilers, central heating, unvented hot water installations and power flushing. Elliot is described as senior installation engineer.

Servicing, repairs and system maintenance

Routine servicing is presented as a way to keep an existing boiler in top condition, alongside a repair service for when a boiler breaks down. Ray, the service and repair engineer, has over 20 years in the industry and covers servicing all brands of gas and LPG boilers. The company is qualified to work with both natural gas and LPG (propane) boilers.

Power flushing is offered using a specialist machine and chemicals to break up and remove magnetite (sludge) from radiators and pipework, leaving a cleaner, more efficient heating system and prolonging the life of the boiler. Joel covers boiler installation, radiator replacements and power flushing.

Smart heating controls

For customers seeking efficiency, the company advises on smart heating technology that allows a heating schedule to be optimised from a phone. It presents the combination of efficient boilers and smart controls as a way to make energy savings year on year.

Guarantees and manufacturer accreditations

Berkshire Heating Solutions offers a 12-month guarantee on workmanship and up to 12 years on boiler installations. It is an accredited partner with Worcester Bosch and a Vaillant Advance and Glowworm Club Energy installer, which it says allows it to offer the strongest guarantee on the boiler most suited to each customer. The company is Gas Safe registered under number 654561.

Team and customer feedback

What began as one man in a van had grown to a team of four by the time of the source material, with a focus on providing a first-class service at a fair price. The company states that it is highly rated on Google, with over 500 customer reviews showing a five-star rating. One published testimonial describes the installation of a new Worcester boiler, praising the explanation provided from the start, the communication and the clean and tidy work of the installers.
