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

Quoted over £400 to fit 2 spare parts

Quoted over £400 to fit 2 spare parts, when they came to fit the parts,another issue was spotted,that meant the boiler was beyond economic repair,so basically £400 down the pan,had a quote for a new boiler from them, which i did not go ahead with, i chose to buy elsewhere.

New boiler

Needed new boiler and had several quotes. Darren from DD Wilson was open and honest. The guys who did the work, Ant, Brian and Tommy were all polite, friendly and really hard working. Talked us through everything and were really clean and tidy. The only problem was the previous installation, badly done piping and they sorted this out aswell. Can't recommend highly enough

Was quoted a competitive price for a new combi boiler installation, when I accepted the quote , I was given a instillation date in a couple of days time, the gas fitter came on time and worked hard all day , the old boiler was taken out of the cupboard it was in and the new one fitted in , the mess was cleaned up and the cupboard put back together around the new boiler, all the radiators were checked to see if they were working properly, a good job all round

Had a new boiler fitted today

Had a new boiler fitted today. Keith did an excellent job. We had glass splasback and thought it would need romving to get to tge pipes which would have cost us more money and we had not had them fitted that long. Keith managed to sort it out without splashbacks having to be moved and no damage. We also have had new radiators fitted and a service done. Excellent staff and manager would definitely recommed.

Great service received

Great service received. I called on the Wednesday evening for someone to come and have a look at an issue with my boiler, someone arrived at 10am on Thursday morning assessed the problem, clearly explaining the issue to me and giving me a few options of solutions to consider, after deciding to go with a new boiler I called up Friday morning to order my boiler and schedule an installation date, they said they could fit me in on Saturday. Someone arrived at 7am Saturday morning, and installed my new boiler, finishing around 3.30pm, clean, polite and friendly. Very happy with the overall service and experience provided, will definitely be using them again. Thank you.

Many thanks to John who called in to help me on his way home. He really knew his stuff and calmed me down as I was upset and very cold! He talked me through troubleshooting over the phone and quickly diagnosed what the problem was. Thank you!

Great

Daughter and partner recently moved into their 1st home which had a very dated central heating system in, called Darren who came out to give us a quote for a new full system (combi, radiators and pipe work) explained everything fully and went through everything, no pushy sales talk, liked his work ethic and he also came recommended by friends. Told us he could start work couple of days later and he even arranged for engineer to come out and remove old radiators so we could paint behind and fill any holes etc… before work commenced, Engineers Stu and Sean?? turned up when expected and were really professional and very helpful throughout the installation, they even said to ring when the room had been decorated and they will come back to box pipework in. The engineers spoke highly of Darren and had a lot of respect for him which I think is great and obviously shows in the company’s success, would definitely recommend this company

Very good service, highly recommended

Very happy with the service we have received from the first contact with Darren the owner, through Jo in the office,to both of the gas safety engineers. All our questions have been answered straight away and in full details. The installation of the boiler took only 3 hours and the engineer has left the place spotless, they even have their own hoover.
I would definitely recommend using DD WILSON GAS AND HEATING ENGINEERS LTD

Very helpful and quick quality installation

Came out to us to check our old boiler at 7pm due to constant loss of pressure was deemed dangerous (installed by previous house owner looks like on the dodge) and had to be condemned, due a new one anyway and was installed by 2pm the next day, good correspondence from the owner Darren who was helpful through the whole process. Would highly recommend this company very professional. 👍🏼

New gas boiler fitted

We had a leaking hot water tank removed and a new gas boiler fitted in one day. The fitting team worked really well and removed all the redundant equipment same day.
I can really recommend this local company.
