About Us

Taylor Fuel Control is part of “The King Group” organisation. Founded in 1912, the KING name has become synonymous with industrial boiler plant and associated equipment.

The company has grown steadily and we are particularly proud that over 72% of our turnover is repeat business.

We believe that continued success is due to our special customer relations. The KING group is one of the UK’s most successful privately owned engineering organisations. With specialist divisions covering a whole range of engineering services we are able to provide our clients with a complete package.

We believe the key to this success is the commitment to provide a friendly, personal service and value for money over a range of engineering services.

Without a past there would be no future, and the KING history is a proud one. The story began when Langham King, the present Chairman’s grandfather, provided a well-boring and pump repair service within his local Lea Valley area. This was expanded in 1946 when his son, Leonard F. King took the business into the repair of steam boilers, agricultural traction engines and industrial boiler plant. “L.F. King & Son Ltd” was formally incorporated in 1958.

During WWII the Lea Valley became increasingly important, providing the country with much of its fresh salad produce. A large part of the Lea Valley’s Nursery Greenhouse industry had Pipe work installations carried out by Kings. The Lea Valley also had numerous factories geared to Aircraft Repairs, Furniture Manufacture, Agro-Fertilisers, as well as Power Stations and Breweries.

L.F. King & Son Ltd. provided pipe work and engineering services to most of these industries, and in doing so extended its engineering experience into a range of differing types of engineering production facilities
