DDWilson is proud to have attained various awards and industry recognitions that solidify our reputation as a leading boiler installation provider. These distinctions include winning the UK Enterprise Awards and showcasing our commitment to outstanding service and enterprise excellence. DDWilson is a "Vaillant Mastertech Accredited," ensuring our customers uphold the highest boiler services standards. One of our most recent achievements was winning the "Global 100 Winner 2022." This recognition and other accolades affirm our commitment to high-quality service provision in the boiler installation industry. Our commitment to elite quality service has also granted us an affiliation with the Guild Of Master Craftsmen from 2020 to 2023. Finally, our team holds Gas Safe Certification, a mandatory qualification for UK professionals working on gas appliances. DD Wilson gas engineers have been in the industry since 1998. Started as Wilson Gas in 2006, initially as a sole trader with an old Ford Escort 55 diesel and 100 business cards relayed to an old dial house phone. The vision and mission were clear. We wanted to be the premium local service company that became the household name for people living in the Merseyside Cheshire and North Wales area when their heating or hot water problems should arise. We wanted our people to think of us immediately and choose us as their best option for boiler repairs or installations. The company's name came from the founder and the secretary's children, Darren and Dylan. We started our spare box room inside our family home. The boys were on the floor, under the table, as their mum was working 7 am till 9 pm daily to earn the loyalty and trust we are renowned for. All this while Darren, the dad, was alone on the road, delivering the results and creating the relationships with our customers we still have today. From strength to strength In 2008, we decided to form DD Wilson Sole Traders with a vision that one day, the boys would be able to help Dad and keep the business with our family for centuries to come. In 2018, we formed DDwilson Gas Engineers Ltd and moved into our Big Unit in Knowsley Industrial Park, where we now take on 12 full-time staff, including a gas apprentice and admin apprentice. We're as accurate and as genuine as they come. Regulars always ask how the kids and dogs are doing, as they are forever with us. If they are not in school, they are undoubtedly in our friendly office or the van with Dad occasionally, meeting the customers and earning their pocket money. Our message is clear: we give you "No Stress and No Mess." Using quality products and premium service with aftercare from a family that does care. We provide installation service and repairs to all domestic gas appliances, mainly Central Heating and Boilers. We do loads for the local people where and when we can, and it's "Nice to be Nice". We sponsor Carla Lane Animal Rescue in Melling because we love the animals. We have given so much to our community directly from us to them when we encounter the challenges they face. Our business has stepped in to improve their lives, and we take great pride in this. "YOU KNOW THE ONE" We sponsor local football teams and often give out lots of freebies for local charities and people we find that are in need. We don't just take the money and leave. We create a personal relationship with each of our customers, which helps us grow. In 2020, we were awarded, "The 2020 SME Business Awards (Best Boiler & Heating Installation Service Northwest). The same year, we became the 5-star reviewed boiler company on Trustatrader in the Northwest. It has taken a lot of hard work and effort to ensure our customers have the same service and are giving us the correct feedback. This has helped us to grow as a company, as Trustatrader only use customer reviews from genuine customers. We are so proud of all our staff and customers for making this happen. With 2020 being one of the most challenging times, DD Wilson carried on supporting our customers and helping out where we could. After being recognised and awarded "Guild of master craftsmen 2020", we haven't looked back. Our plan is straightforward: keeping you guys happy for decades to come. You only care how much we know. When you know how much we care. Thanks for reading about us. We hope we get to meet you soon. Darren & Claire

DD Wilson’s Exceptional Boiler Service

From making contact with the company, Jo and Darren’s customer service skills were exceptional. They advised us the best boiler to suit our needs and stated do not hesitate to contact them if we had any issues and they would address them. The Engineer who carried out the work was on time, very efficient and professional. I would highly recommend this company for any new boiler installation and service.

Deservedly award winning team

Darren and his team are expert in what they do but, more importantly, they do what they say they are going do to when they say they are going to do it. In my experience, for this type on company, that is a very rare quality!

Brilliant & reliable company

I recommend DD Wilson Gas And Heating Engineers Ltd very highly to everyone. They are a wonderful company who came to our rescue. We needed a new boiler as ours (which was well over 10 years) finally packed in- we had no heat or hot water. Darren & Claire were absolutely amazing. They were very quick to answer, they came out the next morning and booked us in the next day. They were very thorough and detailed with everything that got discussed/explained with several options to choose from- all which was then sent via email. Their prices are brilliant and unbelievably reasonable. Paul the engineer was absolutely lovely, he was on time, very clean & tidy, took pride in his work and done a fantastic job. I wouldn’t go to anyone else now.
I can’t thank them enough and I recommend them so highly to everyone.

We cannot recommend this firm highly enough.. excellent service, from the start. Our elderly dad with serious health condition was without heat or hot water as the boiler failed. Darren was amazing from the start, I called them in the afternoon n it was sorted for fitting the next day.. efficient, knowledgeable, very caring in regards to our situation. Aftercare I'm confident in too. Absolute 5⭐.. Thanks Darren, Mick n son..

New quote and fitted within a few days

My old boiler broke, DD Wilson came out and gave me a very good quote, they also fitted it for me within a few days, I couldn't be happier. The boiler is brilliant, the service was first class, from the lad who came to do the quote and the engineer who fitted it. Very clean and professional. DD Wilson were recommended to me by a previous customer, and I can see why. I am very happy to recommend them to anyone, you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much.

Great service

I received an excellent service this week when plumber came out to replace my mums shower tray. I have tried to get this sorted for months now and been let down by people several times. Claire, who dealt with the job, was brilliant and sorted this out so the job was done the next day. The job was done to high standard and I have a happy mum . Many thanks for your help .Five stars !

DDWilson what a excellent company.

DDWilson kept us up-to-date with when they were coming. Turned up on time and worked till late to get the job done to a high standard.
Talk through all controls and even gave advice about replacing electric shower.
They took away all rubbish and redundant pipe work, back boiler, tanks etc.
Would highly recommend the company to anyone.

Had a new boiler fitted today

Had a new boiler fitted today, cant praise this company enough! I have used them before and they didnt disappoint again today fixing my problem. They came out gave me advice and several options including replacement parts and several quotes for a new boiler. I opted for the boiler and it was installed today, very professional work by a really pleasant engineer, who worked fast and left my home exactly how he found it as if he had never been here at all installing the boiler. Excellent! Overall experience from first consultation to job done was just days as this company order parts and fix problem in record time. They also keep the customer updated with friendly office staff making courtesy calls. Every member of this company are extremely pleasant and professional to work with, And the cost of all the work including boiler was cheaper than any other company, I will never use any other company only than DD Wilson!

System to Combi boiler conversion

Great job converting our system boiler to a Combi. All done in one day, Paul did an excellent neat & tidy job. Price wise, excellent again, we had a couple of other quotes that were almost 50% more expensive. I particularly liked the way it was explained to me exactly what they needed to do and the benefits at the point of my initial enquiry and that I was able to choose the exact day that I wanted the job doing. I would certainly recommend DD Wilson to anyone that needs a replacement or even just a repair or service.

Top-notch service. Highly professional.

We were recommended DD Wilson Gas and Heating Engineers by a neighbour after our boiler broke down.

Right from our initial phone call, we experienced friendly and helpful service from a real person, not a bot or answering machine. Darren and his team promptly responded to inspect the issue. They were incredibly friendly and professional, taking the time to explain in detail why our boiler had failed and why repair wasn't the best option economically.

They provided us with reasonable quotes for a top-quality Vaillant boiler and even included a carbon monoxide detector, when my wife expressed concerns about safety.

The installation engineer arrived the next day and completed the installation smoothly. He was also friendly, helpful, and very professional. The installation was carried out without any issues, and they ensured everything was left tidy and provided all necessary paperwork.

Overall, we received excellent service from DD Wilson Gas and Heating Engineers. We will definitely use them again in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.

Go to company for any plumbing/heating problems
Honest and reliable these guys turn up when they say and carry out their work to an incredibly high standard
I have used them on multiple occasions from fitting a new boiler and designer radiators to my latest job which was diagnosing a hot water leak in my system then finding and repairing it in difficult circumstances
This was done in a super quick timescale
Try them honestly you will not find better

Prompt, professional, honest and communicative

Excellent service from Darren and the team. As a landlord, I urgently needed a new boiler to enable my new tenants to move in. Darren had assessed, installed and tested everything within 2 days which was incredible. Honest, diligent, prompt with updates, etc. Couldn’t have wished for more. Cheers
