Why choose AH Plumbing and Heating?

AH Plumbing and Heating is owner-led by Aaron Humphries. Aaron has been hands-on with tools from a young age, growing up around the trade with his father a builder, and he always wanted to run a business that helps people in his local community. Every job benefits from that personal attention.

The business started around three and a half years ago. Aaron worked for a local firm from leaving school, built his skills and experience, then made the jump to go out on his own, and has not looked back since.

We are built on quality workmanship, honest advice, reliable service and pride in every job we take on. We believe in doing things properly, treating customers fairly, and delivering heating and plumbing that stands the test of time.

When the work is done you get a clean site, a clear handover and a team that is still here if you need us. We build long-term relationships with our customers across Bude and North Cornwall, not one-off jobs.

What are your working hours?

Our standard hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:00. For boiler installations we will work out of hours where needed so you are not left without heating, and we agree any out-of-hours arrangements with you in advance.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payment can be made by BACS bank transfer or by card. A deposit for materials is required before work begins to secure your booking and cover initial material costs, with the balance due on completion of the agreed work.

Are you insured?

Yes. We hold public liability insurance and take care to protect your property while we work. All labour comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee covering defects due to workmanship, with materials covered by the manufacturer warranty where applicable.

How long will the installation take?

With AH Plumbing and Heating we will work out of hours in order to ensure your new boiler is back up and running in one day, so you are not left without heating or hot water.

What does an oil boiler installation cost?

Do you remove the old boiler?

Yes. Removing and disposing of your old boiler is included as part of the installation. We disconnect it safely, take it away and leave the site clean, so you do not need to arrange anything separately.

Is the new boiler under warranty?

Yes. The boiler carries its manufacturer warranty, and our labour is covered by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. We will explain the warranty terms before you commit so you know exactly what is covered.

Will I be left without heating during the work?

No. We plan the installation so your new oil boiler is back up and running the same day, working out of hours where needed so you keep your heat and hot water.

Who arranges the warranty?

We register and sign the warranty in-house to ensure the customer has a stress-free experience. You do not need to chase any paperwork; the cover is sorted from the day the boiler goes in.

How much does a gas boiler installation cost?

Do you remove and dispose of the old boiler?

Yes. Old boiler removal and safe disposal is part of the service. We disconnect and remove the old unit and leave everything tidy, with nothing for you to arrange separately.

Do you tidy up after the work?

Yes. We protect the work area, keep things clean as we go, and remove all waste from site when the job is finished, so your home is left as we found it.

Are you able to make a design for us?

Here at AH Plumbing and Heating we like to ensure the customer gets the best vision first before any commencement of work. We offer a free bathroom design at no hidden cost so you can plan the layout, fittings and finish with us before work starts.

Do you handle the whole job, including tiling?

Yes. We take care of everything from stripping out the old bathroom to first-fix and second-fix plumbing, tiling, fitting and finishing. One trusted team stays with the project from start to finish.

Is the bathroom design really free?

Yes. The bathroom design is free with no hidden cost. We want you to see the best vision of your bathroom before any work begins, so the design comes first and is agreed with you before we start.

How long does a bathroom installation take?

Most full bathroom installations take one to two weeks depending on the size of the room and the work involved. We give you a clear timescale with your quote and keep you updated as the job progresses.

Who does the ground works?

We carry out everything in-house, from the base being dug out to the transferring of oil. One team owns the whole job, so there is no juggling different trades.

Who gets rid of the old oil tank?

We remove all waste from site, and the old oil tank gets decontaminated and recycled responsibly. The job is left clean, safe and complete.

Am I going to be without heating and hot water?

We will never leave our customers without heat or hot water, which is why we install a temporary oil tank while the work is carried out, so your home stays warm throughout.
