Plumbing & Heating Services
Boiler & Gas-System Coordination
Boiler or gas-related work can be coordinated where required, but regulated gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for the relevant category.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor-heating interfaces for extensions, new builds and refurbishments, with the selected system design and electrical, plumbing or heat-source responsibilities confirmed per project.
Central Heating Systems
Heating distribution and upgrade work, including pipework, emitters and controls where included in the agreed project scope.
Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing
Water, waste and drainage plumbing for bathroom and kitchen installations, with fixtures, service alterations and making-good responsibilities stated in the quotation.
Drainage & Waste
Internal and external drainage or waste work where included, with investigation, access and specialist survey requirements confirmed for the actual issue.
Urgent Plumbing Guidance
Urgent leak or pipework availability depends on location, safety, cause and contractor availability. Immediate gas or carbon-monoxide risk must use the appropriate emergency gas route.
Before Plumbing or Heating Work Begins
Agree the scope, relevant safety requirements and any documentation that applies. Gas work must be carried out by an appropriately Gas Safe registered engineer.
Plumbing & Heating FAQs
Gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is qualified for that category of work. Confirm the responsible registered engineer or business before gas work begins; TCM's own Gas Safe status is not asserted on this page.
TCM can coordinate building-related scope around a heat-pump project where agreed, while heat-loss design, equipment selection, MCS/BUS responsibilities and specialist installation remain with the appropriate provider.
Urgent plumbing availability is not guaranteed and depends on the location, safety, cause and contractor availability. Suspected gas leaks or carbon-monoxide risks should use the appropriate gas-emergency route rather than a normal building enquiry.
Discuss Your Plumbing or Heating Project
Contact TCM by telephone, email or the enquiry form.Assessment, specialist responsibility, regulated-work route, availability and quotation terms remain project-specific.
Plumbing and heating scope can include water services, pipework, sanitary connections, heating distribution and coordination with bathrooms, kitchens, extensions and refurbishments. Gas work is a separate regulated activity: work on gas fittings must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for the relevant category. TCM may undertake general plumbing scope directly or coordinate appropriate contractors and specialists, with responsibilities confirmed for the individual project.
Leaks, pressure changes, uneven heating or equipment faults can have different causes. Do not diagnose or dismantle a boiler or gas fitting from website guidance. For a suspected gas leak or carbon-monoxide risk, leave the affected area and use the appropriate emergency gas-safety route rather than a normal building enquiry.
What You Need to Know
Boiler and Gas-Related Work
Boiler and gas-fitting work is regulated. Any work on gas fittings must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for the relevant category. The responsible gas business or engineer must be confirmed for the project rather than inferred from TCM's general service page.
Central Heating and Distribution
Heating upgrades can involve radiators, pipework, controls, underfloor heating and interfaces with the existing heat source. The design and specialist responsibilities depend on the property and selected system.
Bathroom and Kitchen Plumbing
Plumbing for bathrooms and kitchens can include water supplies, waste, drainage and hot-water connections. The quotation should state the fixtures, alterations, testing, making good and specialist work included.
Leaks and Urgent Plumbing Guidance
Urgent plumbing availability and any first visit depend on location, cause, safety and contractor availability. A normal TCM enquiry is not a substitute for the emergency gas-safety route where gas or carbon monoxide is suspected.
Everything Else You Should Know
Understanding Plumbing & Heating Costs
Cost depends on the existing system, fault or upgrade, access, materials, specialist work, testing or certification, making good, VAT and exclusions. Compare quotations on the same defined scope rather than relying on a generic per-job price.
Regulations and Safety Responsibilities
Gas work must use the Gas Safe registered route. Other regulated electrical or specialist work should use the appropriate competent provider. The written scope should name the responsible provider and the documentation supplied on completion where applicable.
What Homeowners Can and Cannot Safely Do
Routine observations such as noting where a leak is visible can help describe the problem, but this page does not provide instructions for gas fitting, boiler dismantling, live electrical work or other reserved procedures. Use the appropriate registered or competent professional.
Information to Confirm Before Work Starts
Confirm the fault or upgrade scope, isolation requirements, who supplies fixtures or equipment, specialist responsibilities, access, testing, commissioning, completion documents, making good and any exclusions before the work begins.
