R and M Wheildon have recently replaced our heating system and redesigned/refitted/retiled our bathroom. We’re doing this at a distance, and Wheildon’s have been incredibly helpful…..coming out at weekends to advise, and managing related issues (like the gas supply) on our behalf.
And they have done a first rate job.
So helpful, reliable and trustworthy – we are really pleased with R and M Wheildon’s work.
Many Thanks

Following a site survey, it was decided that the biomass log burning boiler would provide the best renewable heating solution for our clients.

Designed new pipe runs. Run new pipes for cold water to bathroom and mains pipes, fit new radiators, valves and connect to pipework. Run cables from the house to the barn.
Biomass Log Burning Boiler and plant: Following the survey, the log burning boiler and necessary plant was installed in the garage. The floor was leveled in the garage and the boiler put in position. Point the stonework on the soil stack. Fit cylinder and boiler into place. Fit flue to the boiler and breakthrough the roof. Install pipe work to boiler and lag pipes. Replace lead slate in the roof. Install pipe work to boiler dump store and cylinder. Fit hopper head and finish pipe work in boiler room for heating and hot water.
House Bathroom Renovation: Renovation of house bathroom including building joinery and plumbing work. Knock out old soil stack and replace with new, re-stone and point.

En-suite Bathroom Renovation: Run hot and cold pipe to en-suite bathroom. 1st and 2nd fix bathroom.
Snug / Dining room: Install new radiator. Drain heating system alter pipe work hand and connect new radiator.
Utility Room and Kitchen: Knock off and re-bond utility room wall. Chase radiator pipes into the kitchen wall and re-plaster.
We needed to replace an old, inefficient and expensive to run oil system in a farmhouse that could be very cold but stayed warm once it had some heat put into it. Mains gas was not an option and so we contacted Wheildon’s, plumbers we have used and trusted for many years, to look at the situation and give us some advice. Living on a farm there is always some fallen wood around but there are also other family members who want some for their fires. We wanted to make use of this but are aware that we may also have to buy some in to supplement our own supply.
Wheildon’s assessed the situation and after considering ground source heating against a wood log boiler they recommended the latter and researched the best one for our situation.
Wheildon’s planned where to site the boiler and tanks and the installation itself went smoothly. The two heating engineers installing the system were very professional, polite and trustworthy. They worked hard with the project, which looks to us very complicated, taking care that all insulation within the system was up to standard and they were prepared to adapt and modify their plans if necessary. At the beginning we were anxious this system was the right one as it was a size-able investment, however with Wheildon’s workmanship and the running of the boiler so far we feel this has been the right choice.

I am writing to say how pleased we are with the work done by your company on our property. We are pleased with the very professional finish both the bathroom and en-suite look lovely and function well and the heating system installed is super. However, we were also very impressed with the way the work was carried out with all the different staff being very friendly helpful and patient – with Mick deserving a special mention!
In addition to which your staff always came when they said they would and always did their utmost to keep our rather lengthy job moving. From Mick’s first visit to finishing off I had confidence in the company and wasn’t disappointed.
Regards
Debbie

I’ve worked with Roger and his team for several years. As I rent a number of properties I need a fast, reliable and competitive response to boiler and plumbing problems and working with Wheildons I have received all of the above. His team are friendly helpful and professional. I am happy to recommend their services (and often do!) to both friends and family.
Yours Sincerely

Boiler Repair
The team here at Leighton Hall Estate have been using Wheildons for all their plumbing requirements from the day that we found them in the yellow pages…….nearly 6 years ago now. When we had an emergency the Wheildon “Boiler Boys” came to the rescue, and after an hour they had worked their magic and got the Hall warm again. We have found them always to be reliable and to manage expectations about how and when a job can be resolved.
Yours Sincerely,
Lucy Arthurs – Leighton Hall.

Testimonial:
The work carried out on our house by Wheildon’s last year was of an outstanding quality.
We were kept informed at every stage of the operation. The trench digging and installation of the slinkies was done quickly and efficiently – and a year on there is no evidence of any disturbance to the land around us! We required our boiler house to be demolished and replaced: this was done in such a way that it fits well with the look of our home. It is amazing that so much has been done to our property without leaving any evidence of that huge amount of work.
There was also a lot of work internally with pipes and tanks etc. The men who worked in the house were always kind and courteous, and very efficient in what they did. My wife, who was working from home at that time, was only minimally disturbed by the work that had to be done in the house, which is remarkable given the extensive nature of the task.
The after care service we have received has been excellent. The fine-tuning of the system was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Roger and Mick, in particular, have been very good about keeping us informed about the most efficient use of the new system.We are delighted with our new heating, and very pleased with the excellent service provided by Wheildons. We heartily recommend this company to anyone who is considering renewable energy systems.
Thank you all very much.
