Rick's journey into the trades began at 16 when he joined a trade school with his best friend..

Learning a variety of skills including electrics, bricklaying and plumbing. He decided to focus on plumbing and enrolled in a dedicated course.

Two years later, seeking onsite experience, he proactively contacted companies and secured a job through a successful interview. Excelling in his college course, he was offered a gas course and by 19 he was a fully qualified engineer with his own apprentice.

His reputation for quality work grew, leading to more private jobs. With his boss’s permission, Rick transitioned to
self-employment part-time and eventually went full- time.

For five years Rick specialised in boiler installations, working seven days a week.

His reputation for quality and reliability fueled growth and during the
COVID-19 pandemic the workload doubled, leading to the expansion of their team. He founded Prime Plumbing and Heating in 2015.

By 2020 Rick shifted his focus from hands-on work to business management. Prime Plumbing and Heating now boasts a team of 6 qualified engineers, 2 apprentices and 3 admin staff in a brand new office at Orsett Hall. Our success is built on word-of- mouth, good reviews and referrals, reflecting our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.

5 star review for Prime plumbing and heating. We had a really old boiler system that needed replacement. We used the Worcester Bosch ( WB) fast track service to have a local WB accredited engineer come out and do a survey and provide a quote. We were lucky enough to be allocated Prime Plumbing and Heating and Ricky came out to look things over. He spent about 20-30 minutes reviewing our boiler and advising us on our options. He really knows what he’s talking about and is so professional and also a really nice chap, we felt in capable hands and so it proved. The team he sent out to do the work were all excellent, they worked so hard over 3 days and were all highly skilled and very courteous and professional. Their work was very clean and tidy. In our experience Prime Plumbing and Heating provided a service that exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much to the whole team.

FAQ's

At Prime Plumbing & Heating, we believe in making heating solutions simple and transparent. We understand that navigating new installations, routine maintenance, and safety compliance can be complex, especially for landlords. We have compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions across three key areas—new boiler installations, essential boiler servicing, and gas safety responsibilities—to provide you with clear, trustworthy guidance.

Boilers

Q: Why does my boiler pressure drop?

Common reasons include water leaks, bleeding radiators, faulty pressure relief valve, issues with the expansion vessel, and temperature changes.

Q: Which boilers are most efficient?

Condensing Boilers: Over 90% efficiency by extracting additional heat from exhaust gases.

Combi Boilers: Efficient as they eliminate the need for a separate hot water tank.

Biomass Boilers: Use sustainable organic materials and have high efficiency ratings.

Heat Pumps: Highly efficient in moderate climates, using air, ground, or water sources.

Solar Thermal Systems: Efficient in sunny regions, converting sunlight into heat.

Q: When do boilers need replacing?

Consider replacing if it's 10-15 years old, frequently breaks down, shows decreased efficiency, makes strange noises or smells, has leaks or corrosion, increases energy bills, or poses safety concerns.

Q: What pressure level should my boiler be on?

1 to 1.5 bar: Ideal range when cold. Below 1 bar: Indicates low water; may need repressurizing. Above 2 bar: Over-pressurized; may need bleeding.

Boiler Servicing

Q: What does a boiler service include?

Visual inspection, checking controls and settings, flue inspection, cleaning, safety checks, water pressure and circulation check, seals and gaskets inspection, efficiency test, and documentation.

Q: How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Annually, to ensure safety, efficiency, and reliability, and to comply with guarantees.

Q: Can I have the heating on before a boiler service?

Yes, it helps the engineer assess the system’s performance.

Q: How long does a full boiler service take?

Typically 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Q: Can I backdate a boiler service?

No, but schedule one ASAP if missed to ensure safety and efficiency.

Landlord

Q: What does a landlord check include?

Inspection of gas appliances, flues, and ventilation, gas pressure and flow tests, combustion analysis, gas safety record issuance, repair recommendations, and record-keeping.

Q: What is a CP12 certificate?

A Gas Safety Certificate issued after a gas safety check on rental properties.

Q: How long does a landlord check take?

Usually 30 minutes to 1 hour.
