Taking Care of Boilers

Taking Care of Boilers: heating and plumbing in the South West of England and the West Midlands

Taking Care of Boilers is a heating and plumbing company based in Herefordshire that operates with technicians spread across the South West of England and the West Midlands. Its origins date back to Manor Heating and Plumbing, founded in the early 1990s by Tim Clarke, who trained as a plumber and set up a boiler and heating system repair and maintenance business. The company adopted its current name after its founder's trip to the United States, where he visited Elvis Presley's home and saw the slogan "Taking Care of Business".

The business focuses on domestic customers and covers the repair, maintenance and replacement of heating systems, as well as breakdowns and emergencies that leave homes without heating or hot water. The company states it has more than twenty years of experience providing heating, plumbing and gas services in Wiltshire and nearby areas, and notes that it also operates in the West Midlands.

The company also states it handles commercial heating up to 200 kW, solar water heating systems, heat pumps and biomass heating, as well as air conditioning systems and oil tank replacement.
