Your Local Help Wanted: Seeking Recommendations for Heating, Plumbing, and Electrical Services

Hi everyone!

I’m moving to Reading and my new place has a malfunctioning boiler. I’m considering installing underfloor heating with a heat pump, especially since there’s a grant available for the installation.

Could anyone recommend local heating engineers, plumbers, or electricians? I’d really appreciate your help! Thank you!
