    Malcom Bidwell plumbing and heating, would highly recommend.

    Posted 3 days ago

    Alastair did the annual service on our combi boiler recently. As in the past Alastair was very thorough and made no fuss , The work was done neatly with all the appropriate paper work. Alastair always communicates well explaining what he is doing and why. He is a very pleasant young man. Would certainly recommend Alastair for boiler repairs, new boilers installed and domestic plumbing jobs.

    Outdoor Tap fixed swiftly and efficiently

    Posted 3 days ago

    Alistair arrived promptly and prepared with a variety of components he required to repair my outside water tap. He kept me informed at each step the checks he had conducted and what he would attempt next to solve the problem. He very logically and efficiently resolved the problem and cold water was restored and the tap is now working. He was very polite and a pleasure to meet and I will be calling him again should I require any other plumbing, heating or air conditioning services. He came highly recommended from a friend's neighbor and he did not disappoint.

    Excellent plumber with a nice manner

    Posted 08 June

    We asked Alastair to do our yearly boiler inspection as well as checking the heating and fireplace. We also had a problem with a leaking outflow pipe that needed fixing. He finished all these jobs to our full satisfaction. We would highly recommend Alastair.

Domestic WorkFree EstimatesInsurance Work Undertaken

Established in 1986.


We are a local, reliable, approachable, hardworking and a dedicated family-run business.


With 20 years' experience and 70+ years of knowledge in the gas, plumbing and heating industries.


I have recently expanded into domestic air conditioning and so am pleased to offer home, home office or man cave cooling solutions to overcome our ever-changing climate.


I undertake all aspects of plumbing, from bathrooms/ensuites/ cloakrooms, and installations of kitchen appliances, to tap installations, and dripping taps.


Central heating; from entire central heating system replacements/ boiler breakdowns to heating controls and pump replacements.


LPG/ Natural gas; from gas range/ cooker installation to boiler and gas fire maintenance and servicing, specializing in Vaillant & Glowworm boilers.

Domestic air conditioning; installations only.


I am happy to take on insurance work covering plumbing/ heating/ gas leaks and repairs.


I offer a same-day/next-day service for genuine plumbing, heating & gas emergencies only, where possible.


I also provide free quotations, and no job is too small.


Unfortunately, I don't currently hold the correct accreditations to install, service, and maintain oil boilers or solar hot water/ heating systems.

Nor do I work on underfloor heating or install or maintain wall-hung Wc pans, and I can only do domestic work, so no commercial premises.
