  • Bathroom tiling repair

    9.25Verified Review

    Not his usual line of work but Nigel completed a tiling repair in my bathroom that many had shyed away from, wanting to do the whole room. He was friendly, efficient and quickly finished work for a reasonable price. Nothing too much trouble, even when I called him back to check something. Genuine tradespeople are hard to find and Nigel is one I'd recommend.

  • New boiler

    10Verified Review

    Nigel fitted a new boiler for us today. Everytime we've contacted him he's there to help. 7 years trying to find a reliable plumber and now we've found one. Highly recommended

  • Fitting new boiler

    10

    Nigel came and assed the job, phoned and got a price for the new boiler and gave a quote. A date for the insulation was agreed, he came on time and carried out the work methodically. It took about the time he had expected, Nigel kept the work areas clean and tidy, he was very polite. The new boiler works fine and looks very neat.

    Great communication, answered all of my 'first time' questions on the task and others about the heating/water system at my house. Would definitely recommend to others and ask again for plumbing services.

Company info

Hello, my name is Nigel and I’ve been working in the plumbing industry for 30 years. I’ve gained a wide range of experience, from building site work to private boilers and bathrooms. Over the last year I’ve taken a new direction and started my own company; N R Bates Plumbing and Heating!


Small jobs or large ones are equally welcome. I take pride in my work and enjoy providing a quality service to my customers, appreciating the importance of reliability and tidiness.


I am fully insured and Gas Safe registered. Please ask me for a free estimate* if you need any of the following (or if you have an interesting job not listed!) and I would be happy to meet you.

  • Central heating
  • Boiler Changes
  • Bathroom Installations/refit
  • Landlord Certificates
  • Gas Hob Installation
  • Underfloor Heating 
  • Kitchen Sinks and Taps

* Please note that although I will visit you to give a free estimate for future works you may require, this is NOT the same as when you call me out to fix/diagnose an immediate problem. In such cases there will be a charge for my time on site.

Also, sometimes customers in the process of purchasing property will ask me to visit the property, inspect the central heating system and write a report. I am happy to do this, but this is a chargeable service which is not covered by the free quote offer.
