The 5 best plumbers in Newcastle for reliable repairs and installations
A few months ago, mum called saying the kitchen tap wouldn’t stop dripping. By the time I got there, water was running steadily down the sink.
We ended up wrapping it in a towel and putting a bowl underneath to catch the water while I looked for the best plumbers in Zurich. Because when something leaks or clogs up, you need someone who actually shows up and fixes it properly.
I did my research, and it took a bit of time. Luckily, I also got some great recommendations along the way. So now I’m sharing them with you… the experts to call when something goes wrong.
How much do plumbing services cost in Newcastle?
Plumbing services in Newcastle typically cost £60-£90 for fixing leaks, while a full bathroom installation can reach £2,000 or more. Prices vary depending on the job’s complexity and the time required.
1. EcoFlow Plumbing Services Ltd
Address: 21 Grosvenor Way, NE5 1SE
Contact: +44 191 743 1915
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
When a pipe burst in my kitchen late at night, EcoFlow Plumbing came through quickly with their 24-hour emergency plumbing service. Their quick response and professional setup instantly calmed the chaos.
What impressed me most was how they tackled the root cause instead of applying a quick fix. They traced the issue to a hidden joint, replaced it with quality parts, and pressure tested everything to ensure no lingering leaks.
Later, they upgraded sections of my plumbing system and improved drainage to prevent future blockages.
I also appreciate that EcoFlow’s team is insured and professionally trained. They only employ qualified plumbers with extensive experience.
Their holistic mindset shows that they care for long-term efficiency. They recommended water-saving upgrades and preventive maintenance for my home.
My only minor gripe was a short delay in non-emergency scheduling, which could be improved with better scheduling systems.
Joe arrived and completed the installation quickly
“Joe from EcoFlow completed an estimate to replace a very old cylinder water heater that had sadly expired. He provided the estimate within a couple of hours having sourced a modern replacement. I was happy with the price. Joe arrived when promised and completed the installation quickly. Both Joe and his colleague were friendly and polite. Once complete Joe talked me through how to use the new heater and so far it’s working perfectly. I was so happy I asked him to provide an estimate for a new shower before he left. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thanks Joe”

2. Forest Hall Plumbing & Heating
Address: Stable Cl, NE12 7BJ
Contact: +44 797 678 3432
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
Forest Hall Plumbing & Heating is a great full-service partner for plumbing and heating, covering everything from boiler installations to tap work and outdoor plumbing.
Their 24/7 emergency service and no call-out charges make them accessible when homeowners need urgent assistance.
I was impressed by their dual focus approach. They keep core systems like boilers and radiators reliable while also managing plumbing “edges” such as taps, leaks, and outdoor setups.
Their fully qualified and insured team gives confidence, especially when handling gas and heating systems. A neighbour had them repair a significant leak, and it hasn’t recurred, highlighting their use of quality materials and thorough work.
Forest Hall delivers dependable, wide-ranging plumbing and heating services with attention to detail. It makes them a solid choice if you want peace of mind.
On the downside, they’re not the cheapest company in the city. Some services cost more than those offered by other companies.
Really appreciated the job being prioritised, even though not an emergency
“Job was to fix a bathroom leak, replace sink mixer tap and pipework, and install two new isolation valves. Communications were clear and concise. Really appreciated the job being prioritised even though not an emergency. Arrived in good time, and completed the work quicker than originally estimated, which was great. Price was as estimated. Left the place clean and tidy. Very happy to recommend. Will definitely come back for any other work in the future. Many thanks!”

They put everything into correcting any issues
“Extremely reliable plumber. Had 2 x jobs done in kitchen and bathroom. Sorted out 2 x leaks and drainage block in kitchen sink very quickly. My elderly neighbour had a bad job from previous plumber and they came out and fixed it all very quickly for her, she was delighted also by the job. Will be using them again for peace of mind since they put everything into correcting any issues. 5 stars 🌟”

3. Newcastle Plumbing Company
Address: 12 Westlands, West Denton, NE5 5AE
Contact: +44 191 814 4348
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Sunday: Closed
When my toilet sprang a leak in the middle of the night, Newcastle Plumbing Company came through like heroes. They began by assessing whether it was a burst pipe, clogged drain, or faulty fixture.
They injected specialist sealing compounds for leaks and replaced failing taps and valves with top-grade parts. This gave me peace of mind, knowing I won’t have any problems in the future.
I also added water service installation, and they finished the job with utmost precision. They upgraded my pipes and fittings to improve water flow and ensure a safe supply throughout the house.
From under-sink connections to whole-house systems, their licensed plumbers tailored the installation to my property. They made sure all connections were secure and efficient.
The only minor hiccup was that scheduling the water installation took longer than expected, perhaps because it was a non-urgent job.
At last, a company that knows what they’re doing
“Highly recommend this company.
After 3 years of problems with a shower and water pressure-at last a company that knows what they’re doing.
Joe came out to see the issue,quote was sent through and a date arranged that suited me.Even sorted out an electrician as well.
Job was carried out quickly and smoothly.
Great price and great service provided,communication from christine-first class.
Lovely and friendly-put you at ease.
Have booked my next job already.”

Probably the most efficient workman I have ever used
“Fantastic service. I have to say probably the most efficient workman I have ever used.
Outstanding job from start to finish.
I just wish we found Joe sooner as using a flaky workman prior to fix our shower would have saved us £200 after having to buy a dodgy part for our shower which only lasted 2 months.
Then we found Joe. Job priced up straight away.
Communication was so refreshing. A text the day before as a reminder they were coming the next day with a time which he was very prompt. ( I was super impressed with this )
The shower was replaced with a gorgeous new hot shower that works like a dream. The fitting looks great on eye so tidy, neat and very modern. We are over the moon.
Look no further and use this great company as we will now for all our plumbing needs. I would give it 10* if I could.
I was beginning to believe all tradesmen were unreliable and now my faith is restored that they aren’t all the same with this great company.
Thank you Paula”

4. Elite Heat
Address: 15 Meridian Way, Cochrane Park Ave., NE7 7RU
Contact: +44 771 056 4650
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
My cousin recently called in Elite Heat when their boiler started failing and some radiators weren’t heating properly.
From the start, the team impressed with their professionalism. Their Gas Safe-registered engineers conducted thorough safety checks and used only quality parts for all repairs.
They replaced faulty components and installed a smart thermostat so my cousin could easily control the temperatures in every room.
What really stood out was how carefully they handled the job: minimal disruption and excellent communication throughout.
Pricing was fair, reflecting the quality of work. The company handles everything from small plumbing fixes to full central heating installations. My cousin also appreciated the peace of mind from warranties on new boilers and high professional standards.
The only downside? Some of the on-site work required multiple visits to complete, which extended the project timeline beyond expectations.
Highly professional in all aspects of his work
“Much deserved 5 stars to Elite Heating for squeezing in a late pre Xmas appointment to investigate the cause of a water stain on a first floor bedroom ceiling. Frankie arrived as scheduled. After a preliminary assessment he proceeded to access the loft to look for the source of water ingress,which I thought may have been to do with the CH cold water storage tank pipework. However, after closer inspection, as Frankie initially suspected, the problem was not a plumbing matter at all but due to a leak around a roof tile vent.
Frankie recommended several roofing contractors who could undertake the necessary work,which I was pleased to follow up.
Based on my unique experience Frankie is highly professional in all aspects of his work in my opinion and therefore I have no hesitation in strongly recommending Elite Heating services.”

The engineers are very skilled, friendly and kept me updated in all aspects
“After many years of heating system gremlins, the guys came out and assessed the potential causes, very detailed reports given, including advice and a range of solutions including differing price solutions. The engineers are very skilled, friendly and kept me updated in all aspects of the job. They’re competitively priced and defintley will be having them back. They quickly identified likely culprit of the heating issues we had and installed a much needed new pump and diverter valve, they even took the time to tidy up some wiring that was poorly installed previously. Amazing job and we’re so happy to have efficient and responsive heating. If you need some professional, affordable and knowledgeable heating engineers, you can’t go wrong with Elite Heat. Thanks guys”

5. ATS Plumbing & Heating Ltd
Address: 18 Highfield Pl, Wideopen, NE13 7HW
Contact: +44 786 079 5154
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
You’ll often see ATS Plumbing and Heating referenced when looking into plumbing and central heating services, and for good reason.
When I asked a neighbour who had recently had their boiler replaced by ATS, they raved about how much warmer their house felt in winter. They also liked how ATS handles pipework and system balancing.
I was pleased to know that they provide services beyond plumbing. These include boiler maintenance and even power flushing.
Their promise of quality work using the best materials and excellent reputation further solidified their appeal.
Their no-obligation quote policy is a strong plus, letting clients see what services are available without paying anything upfront.
One downside to note is that my neighbour had to wait a couple of weeks for a reply regarding a pipe that ATS replaced. It would be better if they sorted out a more organised email reply system.
Thorough and polite team
“I contacted Alan to ask if he could take out my existing gas fire and install my new one. He came around to look at the job and give me a quote the same day. Alan returned a day later to complete the job. He was very thorough, polite and tidy in his work. The job turned out to be a little trickier and took longer than he previously thought, this was no problem to him at all and his quote remainded the same. Very fair prices, I would not hesitate in using Alan again and i have saved his number in my phone for future reference. If you require an honest, fair tradesman than this is the company for you!”

A very clean, efficient job
“Alan came initially to fix a leak on a radiator and a leak on our combi boiler pipe work. Once the leaks were fixed however , we were still having to re-fill our boiler system daily. Upon further inspection, Alan told us that the boiler was on it’s way out. (Knackered heat exchanger) So we needed a new boiler. Alan sourced a Baxi combi boiler (10 year guarantee) Alan and Scotty fitted it within a half day. No fuss, a very clean, efficient job . We’ll certainly recommend ATS plumbing to friends and family.”
