Plumbing
Our plumbing services cover repairs, installations, and maintenance for domestic and commercial properties. From leaky taps to burst pipes, our Gas Safe engineers deliver durable solutions using high-quality materials. With 30+ years of experience, we handle both routine maintenance and complex emergency plumbing issues efficiently.
Boiler Installation
We specialise in Gas Safe boiler installations for combi, system, and conventional boilers. Our engineers assess your heating needs to recommend energy-efficient models that reduce running costs. All installations include system checks and safety certifications to ensure optimal performance and regulatory compliance.
Blocked Drains
Using high-pressure jetting and CCTV surveys, we clear blockages in drains, toilets, and gullies. Our diagnostic technology identifies root causes like tree root intrusion or pipe collapse. Emergency drain services restore functionality quickly while providing long-term solutions to prevent recurring issues.
Gas Repairs
We repair and service gas appliances including boilers, cookers, and heaters. As Gas Safe registered engineers, we conduct safety checks, issue CP12 certificates, and fix gas leaks. Our services ensure compliance with UK regulations while maintaining system efficiency and household safety.
Heating Services
Our heating services include powerflushing, radiator installations, and smart thermostat integration. We optimise system efficiency through chemical cleaning and component upgrades. Regular maintenance reduces breakdown risks while extending the lifespan of heating infrastructure in residential properties.

We'd never used this company before, in the past British Gas have looked after us, but they left us without heating or hot water and couldn't come out for ages. We rang Rod Friday evening and he was at our place Saturday morning, all fixed and back to normal in an hour or so. Absolute life saver!!

Rod came round within the hour to sort out and fix blocked pipes issue.
Cant recommend highly enough. Quick, professional, and very reasonable price. Can be a minefield when trying to find contractors, but after my experience, its such a relief to find one like Rod. Would only use him from now on for any similar situations that would arise, and would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family. Thanks again Rod.

I called Mayday plumbing after being Quoted 499 for a heat exchanger for my gas boiler by another gas engineer.
Mayday plumbing attended and it transpired that the heat exchanger was blocked.
Having flushed it through my boiler is now fully working at a fraction of the above price. I cannot thank Mayday plumbing enough. I am so impressed and would definitely recommend them.
