About The Plumb Doctor

A family business, built on doing the job properly.

Steve and his son, The Plumb Doctor team

The Plumb Doctor is a proper family business. Steve started out learning the trade the hard way, on the tools, sorting out cold radiators and leaking pipes for people across Leicester, and over the years he built a reputation for turning up, being straight with people, and getting the job done right first time. These days his son works alongside him, and between them they cover everything from a full boiler installation to a dripping tap that has been driving you mad for weeks.

Being father and son means something in this trade. It is not a franchise with a call centre and a rotating cast of subcontractors, it is two people who know each other's work inside out, who take pride in the same standards, and who both have their name on every job that goes out the door. When you call The Plumb Doctor, you are speaking to the people who will actually be stood in your kitchen or airing cupboard, not a booking system passing you along a chain.

Gas Safe registration is not optional in this line of work, and it is something they take seriously on every single boiler job, whether that is a swap, a service, or a full new install. Customers seem to notice the difference too. A 10/10 rating on Checkatrade from 131 reviews and a full 5.0 stars on Google do not happen by accident, they come from years of showing up, doing honest work, and treating people's homes with respect.

Glen Parva is home, and Leicester is where the business has grown up. Whether it is a boiler that will not fire up on a cold morning or a blocked drain that needs sorting before it gets worse, Steve and his son are the two people you will find at the door, ready to help.

Had a new boiler fitted. Extremely respectful of your home, tidy up as they go along, and even registered the boiler warranty for us.
