What's the problem?
New boilers in Reading: worth knowing
Because most water in the South East is hard, ask installers how they'll protect a new boiler from limescale, for example with a scale reducer, and whether that affects the warranty.
At the 2021 Census, 31.9% of households in Reading Borough rented privately, up from 26.1% in 2011, and 50.4% owned their home. Landlords replacing a boiler should keep the installation and commissioning paperwork with their gas safety records.
