Read what real families across Herne Bay, Canterbury, and Whitstable say after their install.
Nick came out the same day I called. A new boiler was fitted the next morning. Warmest winter we've had in years — couldn't be happier.
Quoted us a fixed price on the phone and that was exactly what we paid on the day. Straightforward, honest and brilliant from start to finish.
They were finished by 3pm and left the kitchen spotless. Professional from the moment they arrived. I would recommend it to anyone in Whitstable.
The finance option made this genuinely affordable for us right now. Survey to full installation completed in under 48 hours. Exceptional service.
I had two other companies quote before Good Plumbing. They came in at a better price with a superior boiler. Nick walked us through everything clearly and patiently. Absolutely no pressure.
Annual service booked and completed within the week. Always punctual, always professional. Good Plumbing is the only heating company we will ever use.
Here's Exactly How It Works
Fixed price to finish installation — we keep it straightforward, every step of the way.
Tell us about your home and your current setup. We give you a fixed price straight away — agreed upfront, in writing, before anyone arrives. Every cost confirmed from day one.
Not sure which boiler suits your home? Our engineer works that out for you. We install Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal — and we recommend only what your home actually needs. Finance available if you would prefer to spread the cost.
Your Gas Safe registered engineer arrives, installs your new boiler, clears everything away, and walks you through how it works. Most installations are completed within the same working day. Heating and hot water are restored before we leave.
Most homeowners wait until it breaks. By then, you’re paying for a breakdown, paying for a repair, and still paying too much on bills. Here’s what running an old boiler actually costs you.
Old G-rated boilers waste up to 35% of the fuel they burn. An A-rated replacement typically saves £840+ per year on energy bills from day one. That’s real money back in your pocket, not your radiators struggling.
Boilers over 10 years old don’t slow down before they fail — they just stop. A freezing January morning. No heating. No hot water. Kids late for school. That’s not a risk. It’s a matter of when.
One call-out becomes two. Two becomes a pattern. Every repair is money spent on a system already past its useful life. A new boiler installation from £1,699 ends that cycle for good.
Carbon monoxide leaks. Pressure faults. Ventilation failures. These aren’t worst-case scenarios — they’re documented risks that increase every year an ageing boiler runs past its lifespan. A new install removes them entirely.
Our available slots fill up, especially heading into the colder months. The longer you wait, the longer you’re paying for a system that’s working against you.
Good Plumbing was built on one simple belief — every homeowner deserves the same standard of care we'd want in our own home. That belief hasn't changed since day one.
