We think Dundee Plumbing & Heating is one of the top plumbing services in the local area. For one thing, they are open 24/7 unlike other plumbing services.

Not only can you book them during irregular working hours, you can also call them up for emergency plumbing services. For burst pipes or sudden, uncontrollable leaky faucets, we think they would be a reliable option.

As proof of their expertise, they are Water Regulations Approval Scheme (WRAS)-certified, meaning they have attained a suitable quality and standard of plumbing work. 

They are also Gas Safe-approved, allowing them to legally carry out gas work.

Installing thermostatic showers– showers that automatically revert to your set temperature– can be a bit tricky. However, this is one of their specialisations, which is great for those interested.

Another speciality they have is installing electric showers, which is quite handy. An electric shower uses a hot water cylinder with your cold water supply, and it needs to be done right to avoid electrical shocks or short-circuits.

On top of these specialisations, they also offer boiler installation. They can even offer you boiler financing if you cannot pay for the service upfront, which we feel is quite accommodating on their end.

On the other hand, their prices for labour are comparatively pricier than their competitors. For instance, a simple outside tap and fit would set you back £100, while other companies offer the same exact service at lower price points.

We also empathised with some of their customers who took time out of their busy schedules only to be apparently “ghosted” by them. Not showing up for scheduled work is highly-inconvenient, so we hope they address this issue soon.

With over 25 years of plumbing experience, W.H. Donachie Plumbing & Heating Limited seems to be one of the most well-trusted plumbing services in Dundee. 

We like that you can ask them to come over for a free no-obligation quote, which speaks of their willingness to provide initial recommendations on your plumbing issues.

Not only are they Gas Safe-approved, but they are also (Warm Home Discount) WHD Gas Care-approved. This is helpful for low-income households, as this means they are authorised by the government to provide energy rebate discounts.

They also specialise in full-range bathroom installations, which is ideal for those who are doing extensive home improvements or those building their home from scratch. 

One thing that sets them apart is that they can provide disabled access in wet rooms. This entails special installations such as shower seats with side grab bars, wheelchair-friendly sinks and tubs, non-slip flooring, and low doors for showers.

You can also call them up for emergency services. However, since they are not open 24/7, their response time might not be as quick as their competitors.

Also, you cannot book them for regular jobs during weekends since they are closed. Thus, those who have work during weekdays might need to juggle a few things around.

Lastly, we heard reports of customers being charged call-out/consultation fees despite their free estimate claims. We think this is unfair, and that they should honour their no-obligation promise.

As a family-run business established in 2004, Domestic Plumbing & Heating is a go-to plumbing company for those in Dundee.

We respect the fact that they are Gas Safe-approved, certified as a Dundee trusted Trader, a Building Standards Approved Certifier, and part of The Scottish and Northern Ireland Plumbing Employers’ Federation (SNIPEF).

In our eyes, these accreditations cement their credibility. We are also assured that they’d be able to perform their work with a high level of quality.

Unlike other companies, they do offer free home visits, wherein you can use their expertise to assess your plumbing issue at no cost to you.

On top of that, they also provide 24/7 emergency call outs, which will be charged on an hourly basis. For blocked drains, burst pipes, and toilet overflows at two in the morning, we reckon they’d be your best bet in handling the situation.

They also specialise in disabled adaptation services, which not all plumbing companies do. They work with the Dundee City Council and local architects to help make bathrooms, pool houses, or saunas safe and accessible for disabled persons.

For those who want a boiler but cannot afford to install one right now, you’d be happy to know that they have various boiler finance options. You can get qualified for 0% finance for over 2 years or 9.9% finance between 3-10 years.

Unfortunately, they cannot be booked on weekends, which is typically when working customers would want to schedule house repairs.

Also, we were dismayed to hear from some of their customers that their plumbers caused permanent water damage. When they complained, the company did nothing to fix these issues.

AquaMac Plumbing & Heating Ltd is another solid Dundee-based plumbing service that is open 24/7 hours. Not only do they offer emergency plumbing, they also have 24/7 live support if you just have some queries about their work.

We admire the fact that they are certified and accredited by notable organisations . Not only are they Gas Safe-approved and Dundee Trusted Traders, they are also Energy Saving-recommended, and their work is covered by the Water Bylaws 2000 Certificate.

One unique service that they offer is their landlord plumbing services. In fact, they are the go-to plumbing company for many landlords in the region, and they do regular maintenance, repairs, and installations. 

They are also known to have highly-competitive pricing. For instance, you can hire them to do an outside tap supply and fitting for only £85, while this service is more expensive elsewhere.

A downside to this company is that customers have complained of them not showing up for emergency call outs. Some even waited for them for days before finally giving up and hiring someone else.

Also, they have limited plumbing services compared to other companies. Those looking for specialised work such as disabled access or full-range bathroom installations would need to get someone else.

First off, we were floored to learn that William Ree & Partners has over 60 years of industry experience. This proves that they already know the ins and outs of the plumbing industry quite well.

Thus, it comes to no surprise that they’d have a multitude of prestigious memberships and affiliations. These include Gas Safe, SNIPEF, ConstructionLine, SAFEcontractor, and Worcester Bosch, which show their guarantee of quality and safety.

They also offer free estimates, meaning you don’t have to pay them for coming out and assessing your concern, unlike other companies that charge consultation fees.

Another great thing they offer is a warranty service for their boiler and water heating systems. For £13.99 per month, this seven-year warranty includes annual services and safety checks, hot water cylinder, circulating pump and valves, pipes and fittings.

This low price seems like a good deal for those who are constantly using these systems, protecting them in the event of breakage.

Unfortunately, this company does not do emergency call outs. For sudden plumbing issues, you’d need to call another company.

Also, they are quite pricey. For instance, an outside tap and fitting with the same quality of materials could set you back £190, which is almost double than what other companies charge.
