A local plumber for Crediton
I'm David, the owner of Absolute Plumbing & Heating. I've been plumbing in and around Exeter since 2010 and I live in Stoke Canon, about 20 minutes from Crediton. When you ring, you speak to me, and I'm the one who turns up.
Crediton is an old market town with plenty of period property in the centre and post-war housing spreading out from it. Many of the surrounding farms and hamlets are off the gas grid and run on oil, and I trained with OFTEC for those boilers (not currently OFTEC registered), with gas work in the town carried out with P Harman, Gas Safe registered. Oil boiler services in Crediton have their own page.

Crediton plumbing FAQs
How quickly can you get to Crediton?
During working hours, Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm, usually the same day. I'm based in Stoke Canon, about 20 minutes from Crediton. Ring 07766 501664 and I'll give you an honest arrival time rather than a promise I can't keep.
What do you charge for a callout in Crediton?
£110 for an emergency callout, which includes travel, finding the fault and the first hour of work. After that it's £75 to £85 an hour. Booked, non-urgent jobs are quoted up front, and parts are always priced before they're fitted.
Are you Gas Safe registered?
I work with P Harman, a Gas Safe registered engineer, who carries out and signs off the gas work: boiler installations, repairs and annual servicing. We work together on projects, so you get one point of contact and the gas side certified under a current registration. His ID card is shown at the door and his registration can be checked on the Gas Safe Register. For oil boilers I trained with OFTEC and have years of hands-on experience, though I'm not currently OFTEC registered, so I'll tell you plainly if a job needs a registered installer to sign it off.
Do you do evenings and weekends?
My hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Outside those I can sometimes help by arrangement, so it's always worth a call. If I can't, I'll say so straight away.
