Fire Safety Services in Tilehurst
Tilehurst
Tilehurst is a large and well-established suburb on the western edge of Reading, Berkshire. With a population spread across a number of residential pockets, it’s a vibrant and diverse community that blends village charm with city access. Historically known for its brick and tile production, Tilehurst has grown into a sought-after place to live and work, thanks to its green spaces, friendly neighbourhood feel, and handy location.
Getting around from Tilehurst is straightforward. The local train station offers regular services into Reading in just a few minutes, with onward connections to London Paddington, Oxford, and beyond. Buses along the A329 keep things moving locally, and for drivers, the A4, A329(M), and M4 are all close by—making Tilehurst a great base for commuters and businesses alike.
Economically, the area is varied. There’s a strong presence of professional and managerial roles, as well as skilled trades and service businesses. You’ll find local shops, independent tradespeople, small offices, and care providers scattered throughout the area, many around the busy Tilehurst Triangle or dotted through nearby commercial units. Green spaces like Prospect Park and Arthur Newbery Park add to the area’s appeal for employees and customers alike.
Tilehurst also benefits from strong connections to neighbouring areas. Reading is just to the east, while Purley on Thames and Pangbourne lie to the north, and Theale and Sulham are to the west. This makes it easy to collaborate, attract staff, or serve customers from across the wider region.
At ESI, we work with businesses throughout Tilehurst and the surrounding towns to ensure they stay safe and compliant. From electrical testing and fire alarm servicing to emergency lighting and full audits, our experienced team delivers the peace of mind you need—so you can get on with running your business.
