Ascot · one van, one engineer
A sole trader, which is exactly the point.
Matt Wennington runs this business on his own, out of Ascot. That means the person who picks up the phone is the person who comes to look at the job, the person who prices it, and the person who's still there at five o'clock making sure the boiler fires and the joints are dry. There is no call centre, no rota of unfamiliar faces, and no one to pass the blame to.
The work runs from gas — repairs, servicing and installation on both natural gas and LPG — through heating installation, fault-finding and repairs, into bathrooms, tiling and the everyday plumbing every house eventually needs. When something goes badly wrong, emergency call-outs are available seven days a week.
The clearest description of how that feels from the customer's side comes from Paul Charlish, who had a boiler replaced after the old one failed for good: Matt "explained everything clearly and completed all the work to a high standard." That is the whole business in one sentence — tell people what's actually happening, then do the job properly.
What Matt does
Gas, heat, water — and the room it all ends up in.
Gas repair, servicing & installation
Domestic gas work on both natural gas and LPG — repairs, annual servicing and new installations, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Heating installation, fault-finding & repairs
New heating systems installed, and existing ones diagnosed properly — cold radiators, noisy boilers, no hot water, pressure that won't hold.
Plumbing
All plumbing works — leaks, taps, tanks, toilets, pipework, and the awkward jobs other people talk themselves out of.
Bathroom installation
Complete bathrooms fitted — strip-out, first fix, fitting and final connections, with the tiling handled as part of the same job.
Tiling
Wall and floor tiling — bathrooms, en-suites, cloakrooms, splashbacks and wet areas, set out properly before the first tile goes on.
Emergency call-outs, 7 days a week
Burst pipes, uncontrolled leaks, no heat or hot water, a boiler that has locked out — emergency call-outs are available every day of the week.
Why people ring Matt back
You are not booking a company. You are booking a person.
A lot of heating firms are a phone number attached to a rota. You explain the fault to someone in an office, a van arrives with a name you've never heard, and if it isn't right the second visit is a different face and the same explanation all over again. This isn't that. Matt quotes the job, Matt does the job, and Matt is who you ring afterwards.
- The engineer who prices the work is the engineer who carries it out
- Gas Safe registered — ask to see the ID card before any gas work starts
- Natural gas and LPG both covered, which not every local engineer does
- Tiling in-house, so a bathroom is one job rather than two trades
- Emergency call-outs available seven days a week
A boiler replacement, in the customer's words
“Matt explained everything clearly and completed all the work to a high standard.”
★★★★★ — Paul Charlish, via Google
There is one written review on the Google profile and this is it, quoted in full below. The profile is rated 5.0. Nothing else on this page pretends to be a testimonial — a small business either has the reviews or it doesn't, and inventing them is how you end up not deserving the ones you get.
“Matt fitted a new boiler for us after our previous one developed a terminal problem and did an excellent job. Matt explained everything clearly and completed all the work to a high standard. Very pleased with Matt's work.”
The work
What the job actually involves.
A boiler past saving, replaced and explained
The situation — An existing boiler developed what the customer described as a terminal problem — the point at which repair stops being sensible and the honest answer is a replacement. The anxiety in that situation is rarely the boiler itself; it's not knowing whether you're being told the truth about it.
How Matt handles it — Matt fitted a new boiler and, just as importantly, talked the customer through what was happening at each stage rather than disappearing behind the cupboard door for a day. The work was completed to a high standard and the customer was, in his own words, very pleased.

The radiator that's cold at the bottom
The situation — A radiator that's hot at the top and cold at the bottom is the classic misdiagnosis. Bleeding it does nothing, because the problem isn't air — it's sludge, magnetite that has settled out of the system water and built up along the bottom of the panel where the flow should be.
How Matt handles it — The fix depends on how far it's gone: a power flush or chemical clean on a system that's salvageable, a replacement panel where the radiator is beyond it, and a magnetic filter fitted afterwards so the same sludge doesn't quietly rebuild over the next five years. What matters is being told which of those your system actually needs.
Worth reading before you ring
Two guides, written to save you a call-out.
Guide 01
Boiler servicing: what actually happens
What a proper service covers, what the engineer is really looking for, the warning signs worth ringing about, and the questions to ask any gas engineer before they start.

Guide 02
Emergency checklist: what to do before Matt arrives
Burst pipe, gas smell, no heat, boiler locked out — the right first five minutes for each, including the one situation where you should ring the gas emergency line instead of a plumber.
Read the checklistHow it works
Three steps, no middlemen.
01
Ring, text or WhatsApp
Call 07581 733592, or message on WhatsApp if it's easier — a photo of the boiler badge, the leak or the bathroom saves a trip. Matt answers his own phone, so you're talking to the engineer from the first minute.
02
A look, then a free quote
For anything bigger than a repair — a boiler change, a heating install, a bathroom — Matt comes out, looks properly, and gives you a free quotation with the options explained, including where the cheaper route would do the job just as well.
03
Booked in and done properly
One engineer on site from start to finish. Gas work is carried out and tested to the standards a Gas Safe registered engineer has to meet, everything is demonstrated to you before he leaves, and the place is left clean.
