About Us

As a plumber in Colchester we offer a reliable, affordable and proffesional Plumbing and Heating Service to Colchester and the surrounding areas. We specialise in boiler changes both gas and oil, but offer a full Plumbing and Heating service from repairing a dripping tap to installing a full central heating system.

We started our own Company in 1990 after completing a comprehensive 5 year apprenticeship working for a local Company within the Colchester area and continued to gain further experience with the same Company for a further 2 years.

We have now employed our youngest son (Matthew) into the family run business.  He is fully qualified and Gas Safe registered following a 4 year,  day release apprenticeship at Colchester Institute.

Dear Tracey,

Thank you for your lovely email. Invoice duly paid and as always we thank you for an excellent job and sound and helpful advice.

Everyone’s happy and it just remains for us to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a well-deserved rest!

With our best wishes

We just wanted to add a bit of feedback. The service from start to finish was excellent; you replied promptly to the initial enquiry, arranged a date to asses the work, Paul turned up (sounds obvious, but others didn’t), provided a quote (again obvious but others didn’t) and arranged a date for the work. 

On top of that the young man who carried out the work – your son I believe – was prompt, courteous and a genuine pleasure to deal with. 

Rest assured now that we have found you we will not look at Check-a-trade for plumbing or heating help ever again!

Dear Paul Tracey & Matthew

Just to say thank you for all your help and advice you have given me  over the years.

John and I always appreciated the re-assurance of knowing that you would keep our heating and hot water working in all the many houses we lived in over the years.

I Know I will miss our chats and will find it difficult to find a replacement as reliable and friendly as you are.

Are you sure you can’t manage a yearly trip to Yorkshire?.  It would be good to see, maybe bring your gear just in case.

With very best wishes

Margaret Shannon Brightlingsea 27/9/18

We are writing to say ‘Thank You’ for arranging our boiler installation earlier than originally scheduled.  We do appreciate your help and John was so pleased to have the heating on over the weekend as he recovers from his shoulder operation and not able to move about as much as he would like yet.

Please pass on our thanks to Paul and Norman – a job well done – they were considerate and courteous throughout the whole installation.

Waylen – Manningtree 24/9/18

“I write to thank you for the excellent job that you have done for me on the new boiler and ancillary work connected with it. I found the price to be very competitive with others that I received and the work was carried out with no mess or problems. It was also completed in the time stated with a happy attitude, both my wife and myself will have no hesitation recommending you to others.

Thank you for dealing with our boiler change so efficiently, we would be willing to recommend your services to anyone.

Paul and Tracey, I have to inform you that my mother has now moved permanently into a care home.
I want to thank you for all the assistance you have given me and particularly for the urgent repairs and replacements you carried out, working sensitively around my mother and ensuring her safety. I would be very happy to recommend you to any future customers.
I have passed on your contact details as well as all the documentation relating to the central heating boiler and hopefully new owners will want to make use of your services.
Once again, many thanks – I would have been in real difficulties without your help.

Best wishes to you both for the future,

With kind regards.
