Boiler Servicing
Regular boiler servicing ensures safety and efficiency while extending equipment lifespan. Our Gas Safe engineers perform comprehensive checks on gas, oil, and LPG boilers, identifying potential issues before they become major problems. This essential maintenance helps prevent carbon monoxide leaks, maintains manufacturer warranties, and improves energy efficiency to reduce fuel costs.
Central Heating Installation
We design and install complete central heating systems using high-efficiency condensing boilers from leading brands. Our installations comply with current building regulations and include system boiler options, smart controls, and thermostatic radiator valves. All work includes Gas Safe registration and 12-month workmanship guarantees for complete peace of mind.
Bathroom Design
Our full bathroom installation service covers complete design, supply, and fitting of modern sanitaryware. We project manage all aspects including tiling, electrics, and plumbing, working with premium brands like Ideal Standard and Grohe. Each installation includes a water compliance certificate and meets current building regulations for safety and efficiency.
Landlord Gas Safety Checks
We provide essential annual gas safety inspections for landlords, including appliance checks and certificate issuance. Our Gas Safe engineers ensure compliance with legal requirements, maintain service records, and offer reminder systems for upcoming inspections. This service covers all gas appliances and flues in rental properties.
Power Flushing
Our power flushing service removes sludge and scale buildup from central heating systems, improving efficiency and extending system lifespan. This specialist process restores proper circulation, reduces boiler noise, and enhances heating performance. We recommend installing magnetic filters to maintain system cleanliness after flushing.

Bathroom and Cloakroom Refurbishment. We recently had both our bathroom and cloakroom refurbishment carried out by David Lowe Plumbing & Heating Ltd. What a great job they did. The finished article was exactly what we had asked for and had envisaged. The guys doing the work were smart, professional and helpful. They kept any mess to a minimum and always cleared up after themselves before leaving. We could not recommend David Lowe Heating & Plumbing highly enough. A job well done, a job we were very pleased with. We would not hesitate using them again in the future.

We've used David over a number of years from minor plumbing repairs to bathroom and boiler replacements. He has a great eye for detail and design in the bathrooms and the work was done to a very high standard. On the rare occasion we've had a problem, he's been back quickly to fix it. While he's busy, once he's committed a time/date he sticks to it.

We have used David Lowe for many years now and always find the service to be impeccable. They installed a complete new bathroom and supervised the refreshing of our property and have always been very responsive to dealing promptly with issues when they arise. Would highly recommend.

Great company - never use anyone else! This visit was for our annual boiler repair, but they've done lots of other jobs for us over the years - new boiler installation, repair of leaky loos, new taps, etc. etc. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you!

If you are after a great plumber, David Lowe is the right company for you. Highly recommend, we had a boiler replaced and out of the quotes we received they were the most professional and offered great advice - the boiler has been in for 3 years now and no issues. We recently had an issue with our hot water tank - David personally came out and fixed it on a Sunday so that we had hot water on a cold day. Great service, reliable and honest.
