Gas Safe Registered 24/7 Emergency Call-Outs Free, No-Obligation Quotes Nearly 20 Years at British Gas
Much of our work comes through word of mouth and recommendations from customers across Sittingbourne, Swale and Kent. Here is why that reputation sticks:
Nearly 20 years at British Gas taught David how to do a job properly. In 2019 he went independent, bringing that training straight to the homes and businesses of Sittingbourne and the Swale as Downs Plumbing & Heating.
Gas Safe registered and based locally, David handles everything from a dripping tap and a blocked gutter to a full bathroom refit or a new boiler install. When he's not on a job, he competes as a powerlifter, well known on the local lifting scene. Heavy lifting, literally and figuratively, has never been a problem.
He's joined by a second engineer, also called Dave, so between two vans and two Daves, DPH covers more ground across Kent without losing the personal service of a genuinely independent local business.

"Dave came out to quote to remove and replace a very old boiler I had at a house in Maidstone. He recommended what was needed, quoted and completed the complex job quickly and efficiently at a reasonable price. Dave was recommended to me by 2 people and having used him now myself I too can now recommend him highly."
Lucy Tipples, Maidstone
"Dave has been to us twice now. Once for a new shower to be fitted and secondly for a leak from our radiator which ended up being a challenge as the radiator was upside down. But Dave was fantastic and put it right for us. He is very professional, friendly and is a fantastic plumber who we highly recommend. He is very tidy, nothing is a problem and we will definitely have him back."
Jenny White
