What we do

Our services

From a dripping tap to a full heating install, we keep it in the family rather than passing you between subcontractors.

01

Boiler Repair & Installation

Fault-finding, repairs and full replacements on most major boiler brands, with honest advice on repair versus replace.

02

Emergency Callouts

Burst pipes, no heat, no hot water — we prioritise emergencies and aim to have someone with you the same day.

03

Bathroom Plumbing

New bathroom installs, leak repairs, shower and tap fitting, and re-plumbing work carried out cleanly and carefully.

04

Central Heating

System design, power flushing, radiator installs and full central heating upgrades for warmer, more efficient homes.

Started the firm on Foundry Lane in 1994

A family firm that still answers its own phone

Whitfield Plumbing & Heating was founded in 1994 by Ray Whitfield, working out of a van and a small workshop on Foundry Lane. Today the business is run day-to-day by his son Danny, with the same approach Ray started with: turn up when you say you will, explain the job in plain English, and charge a fair price for it.

Over thirty years on, we're still based in Ashcombe, still family-run, and still doing the unglamorous work that keeps a house warm and its water hot — properly, and without the upsell.
