The family business

A van, a loan and a start in 1972

Roger and Margaret Wheildon founded R & M Wheildon Ltd, trading as Wheildon’s, in 1972. A £500 loan for a company van and the guarantee of a few weeks of plumbing and heating work gave the business its beginning.

Today, Wheildons brings together heating, plumbing and renewable energy services for domestic and commercial customers. That breadth covers everything from general plumbing to boiler installations, bathrooms and heat pumps.

Looking ahead

Established skills. New ways to heat.

Our work extends beyond conventional boilers to ground source and air source heat pumps, as well as solar thermal hot water systems.

Choosing a system starts with understanding the property. Insulation, available space, hot water demand and existing radiators or underfloor heating all matter when weighing up renewable options.

Whether you are updating an existing building or planning a new installation, speak to our team about the heating and hot water you need.
