🎒 A BIG DAY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF D.D. WILSON! 🎒

Today is our little man Layke’s first day at his new school after graduating from nursery! He’s only three, but he walked in like he owned the place—probably wondering where his van, uniform and first job sheet were! 😂🔧

Meanwhile, Harmony, aged 10, is starting her final year in juniors, and Melody, aged six, is heading into her second year in infants. Three children, three different stages and one very proud mum and dad. ❤️

Building a business teaches you that nothing worthwhile happens overnight. You grow, learn, make mistakes, solve problems and keep moving forward—and raising a family is exactly the same… only with more packed lunches, missing shoes and last-minute chaos! 😂

As D.D. Wilson Gas & Heating Engineers continues to grow, our children are growing alongside it. They’ve watched the long days, hard work and sacrifices, but they’ve also seen what can be achieved when a family pulls together and never gives up.

The business is part of the legacy—but these three are the real reason we’re building it.

Good luck, Layke, Harmony and Melody. Work hard, be kind, enjoy every minute—and please try not to get expelled before Dad finishes work! 😂💙

🚨 DANGEROUS COMMERCIAL GAS APPLIANCE MADE SAFE – MERSEYSIDE HOTEL 🚨

We received an urgent call today from a local hotel in Merseyside regarding a commercial Andrews natural-gas hot water heater.

📞 Call received 🚐 Engineer on site within 45 minutes ⚠️ Serious safety concerns identified 🔥 Gas appliance immediately isolated and made safe

The video shows exactly what our engineer found on arrival.

When it comes to commercial gas appliances, warning signs cannot be ignored. A fault with a commercial water heater can potentially have very serious consequences, which is why the appliance was taken out of service immediately.

The hotel will now require a replacement Andrews commercial water heater, or a suitable equivalent, correctly sized and installed for the building's hot-water demand.

This is exactly why commercial gas appliances need to be properly serviced, maintained and inspected by suitably qualified commercial Gas Safe engineers.

At DD Wilson Gas & Heating Engineers, we cover:

🔥 Commercial gas emergencies
🔥 Andrews commercial water heaters
🔥 Commercial boiler & water-heater replacements
🔥 Fault finding & repairs
🔥 Commercial servicing & maintenance
🔥 Gas safety inspections & certification
🔥 Emergency isolation and make-safe works

45 minutes from the call to an engineer being on site and making the appliance safe.

Commercial gas problem? Don't take the risk — call DD Wilson Gas & Heating Engineers.

🔥 THEY THINK THEY’RE JUST HELPING DAD OUT FOR THE SUMMER… ❤️

But there’s a bit more to this picture than that.

The kids have been helping out at DD Wilson Gas & Heating Engineers during the summer holidays, and they’re standing underneath a Les Brown quote that has been part of my journey since the very beginning:

“If you want a thing bad enough, go out and fight for it, work day and night for it…”

When I first started DD Wilson, I didn't have everything figured out.

But I had ambition. I had a family to provide for. And I had an absolute determination to make something work.

That quote became a reminder to me.

Through the long days.
The 7-day weeks.
The mistakes.
The pressure.
The knock-backs.
And all the times when things didn't go to plan.

Keep going.

Years later, we're still here. We've built a team, a reputation and a business I'm incredibly proud of — and now my kids are spending their summer holidays coming in and seeing what goes on behind it all.

The funniest part is they've heard that Les Brown speech so many bloody times they can practically recite it backwards. 😂

But maybe that's not such a bad thing.

Because whether they ever work for DD Wilson or go off and build something completely different for themselves, I want them to remember one thing:

Nobody owes you the life you want.

Dream big. Work hard. Take the knocks. Get back up. And if you genuinely want something badly enough, go after it.

I started this business to build a better future for my family.

Now they're standing underneath the very words that helped me build it.

That means more to me than they probably realise. ❤️

Happy sunday social media !

Ever wondered what you are actually paying for when one heating quote comes in cheaper than the others?

This. 👇

A screw through a brand new herringbone floor and straight into a central heating pipe. The pipe had been notched into the joist too shallow, so it sat higher than the timber, and there was no steel plate over it to stop anything coming down from above.

The floor is now coming up. The ceiling below is coming down. Two insurers are paying for it, and the rooms the homeowner had just finished are out of use.

The parts on a heating quote are the same wherever you go. It is the labour under the floor that you never see.

Ask one question before your boards go down. How does the pipework cross the joists?

See the video, and we have created a free guide. You don't even need to put your email in; we just want to make sure these types of situations don't happen to our

Full story here.

The house is a Grade II listed property in Prenton, one of a stone-built pair from around 1840 under a Welsh slate roof. The owner had moved in and was living downstairs while her belongings sat upstairs, and that is a sensible way to run a big renovation: finish the ground floor, move into it, then...

🔥 PLUMBING, HEATING… AND A BIT OF BAGPIPES! 🎶

No two days are ever quite the same at DD Wilson Gas & Heating Engineers — especially during the summer holidays when you’re juggling work, customers… and keeping an eye on the kids at the same time! 😂

This week’s mix has included:

🔥 Underfloor heating
🌡️ Heating controls
🔧 Domestic & commercial plumbing
💧 Finding leaks and faults in pipework that’s been in place for 50+ years
🛠️ Tracking down parts for older systems
🚿 Unvented hot water cylinders & G3 work
🔥 Installing premium-quality boilers
👨‍👧‍👦 And doing all that while the kids are off school for the summer!

And if you’re wondering why there are bagpipes blasting away in the background… there’s no technical explanation whatsoever.

I just absolutely love bagpipes. 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎶

Old pipework or brand-new heating system, domestic or commercial — we love getting stuck into the jobs that need proper experience, fault-finding and quality workmanship.
