Plumbing Installations
We design and install complete plumbing systems for new builds and renovations. Our Gas Safe engineers handle water supply, drainage, and gas fittings to current building regulations. Commercial clients benefit from our experience with large-scale mechanical systems while homeowners receive tailored solutions for bathrooms and kitchens.
Heating Systems
From boiler replacements to underfloor heating, we supply and install efficient heating systems. Our Worcester Bosch Platinum accreditation ensures extended warranties and technical support. We specialise in retrofitting modern systems into period properties while maintaining architectural integrity.
Bathroom Design
Our dedicated bathroom division offers full design and installation services. Using 3D visualisation software, we create custom layouts with mood boards for material selection. The team manages projects from small en-suites to luxury wetrooms, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Servicing & Maintenance
Regular maintenance keeps systems operating efficiently. We provide boiler services, gas safety checks for landlords, and emergency repairs. Our engineers carry common replacement parts to resolve issues during first visits, minimising disruption for residential and commercial clients.
Renewable Energy
We install solar thermal systems, air source heat pumps, and biomass boilers. As Nu-Heat registered installers, we integrate underfloor heating with renewable technologies. Our OFTEC-certified engineers maintain oil-fired systems for rural properties without mains gas access.
