YEARS TRADING

HOW IT STARTED

Hi, I'm Daniel

When I first started DC Plumbing and Heating, I never imagined we'd grow into the business we are today.

Three years on, and I'm incredibly proud of how far we've come. From long days on the tools building the business up, to earning a reputation across three counties for reliability, professionalism, and high-end workmanship.


I'm lucky to have an amazing team by my side now. We all work to the same high standards, and we all share the same commitment to looking after our customers properly, from the first phone call right through to the final handover.

"Every job, big or small, gets the same care and attention. We'll always go the extra mile to deliver work we're proud to put our name on."

Whether it's a dripping tap or a full central heating system, a single radiator or a complete bathroom, we treat your home the way we'd treat our own. That's the promise, and it's what keeps our customers coming back and recommending us to their friends and neighbours.

WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE US

The three things people complain about most, and how we're different

Everyone's had a bad experience with a tradesperson at some point. Here's how we make sure you don't have one with us.

COMPLAINT 1

"They don't turn up or turn up late."

We agree a time and we stick to it. If anything changes, you'll know straight away. No waiting around wondering where we've got to.

COMPLAINT 2

"The quote was vague and the final bill was a shock."

Every quote we send is detailed, clear and branded, spelling out exactly what's included, VAT, warranty info, and payment terms. Three clear options, no hidden extras.

COMPLAINT 3

"They left the place in a mess."

We work clean and we leave clean. Dust sheets, tidy pipework, full clear-up, and a proper handover so you're not left with chaos after we've gone.

If you've had a bad experience before and want a team that actually does what it says it will, we'd be happy to help.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

The way we do things

We answer the phone

We know how frustrating it is when nobody calls back. We guarantee to pick up or return your call, every single time.

We keep you informed

From first call to final handover, you'll always know what's happening, when it's happening, and why. That's our communication guarantee.

We do honest work

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions we get asked a lot

  • Are you Gas Safe registered?

    Yes. DC Plumbing and Heating is Gas Safe registered under number 926168, and every engineer carrying out gas work holds current Gas Safe qualifications. You can check our registration yourself on the Gas Safe Register website before we start any work.


    We're also OFTEC registered under number 502569 for oil heating, which matters across a lot of rural Somerset, Devon and Dorset where homes are off the gas grid. Any engineer working on gas in the UK must be Gas Safe registered by law, and we're always happy to show our ID card on the doorstep.

  • What areas do you cover?

    We cover Somerset, Devon and Dorset from our base in Chard. Because Chard sits within a few miles of all three county borders, we can reach a wide area easily, from Taunton and Yeovil across to Exeter, Sidmouth and the Jurassic Coast.


    Towns we work in regularly include Chard, Ilminster, Crewkerne, Yeovil, Taunton, Langport, Axminster, Honiton, Seaton, Sidmouth, Exeter, Bridport, Beaminster, Lyme Regis and Sherborne. If you're just outside that, give us a ring on 01460 357021 and we'll tell you honestly whether we can get to you.

  • How long have you been trading?

    DC Plumbing and Heating has been trading for three years. Daniel started the business on his own and it now runs as a small family team working across three counties.


    Three years is long enough to have built a reputation locally and short enough that the person who answers the phone is still the person who'll be in your home. Every job goes through the same standards, whether it's a dripping tap or a full heating system.

  • What is a Worcester Bosch Accredited Installer?

    A Worcester Bosch Accredited Installer is an independent engineer who has completed Worcester Bosch's own training and been assessed on installation standards and customer service. The main benefit to you is access to extended guarantees that other engineers can't offer.


    Standard guarantees on Greenstar gas boilers start at five years. Fitted by an accredited installer with a Greenstar system filter, that extends to ten years, and up to twelve on the Greenstar 8000 range. The guarantee needs the boiler servicing annually to stay valid, and exact length depends on the model, so we'll confirm what applies to your installation before you commit.


    Accreditation sits on top of Gas Safe registration rather than replacing it.

  • Do you do one-off small jobs or only bigger projects?

    Both. We take on everything from a leaking tap or a single radiator through to full bathroom renovations and complete heating systems. Small jobs get the same care as large ones.


    Plenty of our bigger projects started as someone calling about something minor. We'd rather do a small job properly and be the people you call next time than turn it down for being too small.

  • How do I get a quote?

    Call 01460 357021 or send an enquiry through the website and we'll come back to you within one working day. For anything substantial we'll arrange a visit to see the job properly before quoting, because accurate quotes need eyes on the work.


    Every major quote comes as three clear options, Basic, Standard and Premium, so you can see exactly what changes at each level. Prices include VAT and set out what's covered, the warranty and payment terms. No hard sell, and you'll be speaking to Daniel or the team rather than a call centre.
