About Reading
Victorian industrial terraces through to Lower Earley (from 1977, one of the largest private housing developments in Europe) and ongoing modern town-centre development
Reading is the largest town in the whole service area, and its two-river confluence means ground-floor heating equipment (boilers, cylinders) in properties near the Thames/Kennet meeting point should be sited with flood exposure genuinely in mind — this is a confirmed, documented flood-plain area, not a general precaution. Lower Earley's housing, now approaching 50 years old, is a common source of first- or second-generation heating-system replacement calls.
