Real work, around Reading, this year.
A few of the jobs we've finished lately. Photos and details shared with the customer's ok.
Boiler install Tilehurst · One day
Back boiler swapped for a combi
1980s back boiler and a loft tank removed, a Worcester combi fitted in the airing cupboard. Reclaimed the space, sorted the pressure, warranty registered. Heating back on by tea time.
Bathroom Woodley · Ten days
Full family bathroom refit
Stripped back to brick. New layout to fit a proper shower, floor-to-ceiling tiling, underfloor heating and brushed brass fittings. Same two engineers throughout.
Powerflush Earley · Half a day
Eight radiators flushed
Cold spots across the house and a boiler cutting out under load. Full powerflush, magnetic filter fitted, and a side-by-side of the water before and after for the customer.
“Pipe went under the kitchen sink on a Friday night with the kids in bed. Dave answered the phone himself, talked me through turning the water off, and was here within the hour. Fixed and tidy by the morning. Couldn't fault them.”
“Got three quotes. Hartley's wasn't the cheapest but they were the only ones who actually explained why we needed a bigger boiler. Old one out, new one in, all done in a day and they registered the warranty for us.”
