Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 18 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Ollie originally came to give my church advice and a quote for a new boiler and radiators. While he was there we noticed a leak in the toilet, Ollie set to and tried to fault find the cause, he gave his time graciously found the fault and had an engineer back within a few days. I found his manner polite and informative clearly explaining any questions I had on the heating quote, a true professional someone I would not hesitate to use again.”
“Ollie along with his colleague Chris undertook the plumbing on one of my recently finished extension jobs. New underfloor heating was fitted throughout the ground floor. Their work was to a very high standard, they were very tidy and always reliable. Highly recommend!”
“Ollie and his team did a fantastic job of converting our old boiler system into a new combi into the attic. From start to finish everything was so efficient and the job was completed excellently with no interruption to our daily lives. I would thoroughly recommend Ollie and the Essentials Group for any heating works you have in your house. All information given to me was really informative and the work is too knotch!”

Gas work is restricted by law to Gas Safe registered engineers. If they'll touch a boiler or any gas appliance, confirm they're currently on the register before you hire - it's free and takes a minute.
Check the Gas Safe RegisterBy law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register. Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
