Local Plumbers in Reading
Hoopla Heating has been looking after homes and businesses across Berkshire for years, and our plumbers in Reading handle everything from a dripping tap to a full bathroom refit. We are a small, friendly team, so you deal with people who know the area and take pride in the work.
Everyday Plumbing, Done Properly
Leaking pipes, faulty taps, toilets that will not stop running and showers with no pressure are the jobs we see every week. Our plumbers find the cause rather than patching the symptom, so you are not calling someone back a month later.
Qualified, Accredited and Local
Nicky runs the business and Andy, our head engineer, has worked locally since 2009. The team holds Gas Safe registration 584307, which you can check on the Gas Safe Register, and we are Worcester Bosch accredited too.

Emergency Plumber in Reading
Some plumbing problems cannot wait until Monday. Our emergency plumbers cover Reading 7 days a week, so if water is coming through a ceiling or a pipe has burst, call us and we will tell you honestly how soon we can be there.
What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Burst or leaking pipes, water coming through a ceiling, a toilet that is overflowing and no running water at all all need fast attention. So does any leak near electrics. If you are not sure, call anyway and we will help you decide.
What to Do Before We Arrive
Turn off the water at the stopcock, which is usually under the kitchen sink. Switch off the heating and hot water, and turn off the electrics at the fuse box if water is near sockets or lights. Move what you can out of the way and catch drips in a bucket.
Fixed First, Then Made Good
Our first job is to stop the water and make things safe. Once that is done, we explain what failed and give you a clear price for the permanent repair, whether it is a burst pipe repair or a replacement fitting.
Hoopla Heating features a full range of plumbing, heating and air conditioning services, all carried out by our own Gas Safe registered engineers. Whatever you need, call 01491 520226 for honest advice and a clear price.

Power Flushing in Reading
If your radiators are cold at the bottom or your boiler sounds like a kettle, sludge in the system is the likely culprit. A power flush clears it out and gets your heating working efficiently again.
How a Power Flush Works
We connect a pump to your heating system and push water and cleaning chemicals through the pipes and radiators at high flow. The sludge and debris are flushed out, and the system is refilled with clean water and inhibitor.
Signs Your System Needs One
Cold patches on radiators, slow warm up times, dirty water when you bleed a radiator and a noisy boiler are the most common signs. Left alone, sludge can damage the pump and heat exchanger.
Book Your Power Flush
Most power flushes are completed in a day, and we can fit a magnetic filter afterwards to help keep the system clean. If your boiler also needs attention, we can arrange a boiler service in Reading on the same visit. Find out more on our power flushing page, or call us to book.
