THE search is on to find the best heating installer in the town.

As part of the heating installer of the year awards, judges are inviting residents to put forward candidates to put them in with a chance of winning a top prize.

The ceremony will recognise the top tradesmen and women across the region, with the winner to be announced next March.

Judges, which include supporters and industry experts, will be searching for installers who can demonstrate an 'exceptional job' was done.

Plumbers and heating engineers will be rewarded for their work which subsequently helped 'shine a spotlight' on the industry.

The awards are sponsored by Continental Underfloor in conjunction with top magazine for the trade, Installer

Chris Ingram, managing director of Continental Underfloor, said: "It's about time that we recognised the installers who work tirelessly, day-in day-out, to ensure homes across the north west can be heated to the standards that we all now expect as consumers."
