Tewkesbury Plumber and Heating Engineers
Searching for a heating engineer near Tewkesbury who’s confident with Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) and the wider range of low-carbon kit? Our engineers are Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accredited, which covers us for new installs, ongoing servicing, repair work, and applying on your behalf for schemes like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) so the grant money actually lands. You’ll get a slot we turn up to, a price agreed before the spanners come out, and a workmanship promise that doesn’t expire the moment we leave. Fifteen-plus years in, that approach hasn’t changed.
Priority One Plumbing operates out of Churchdown, a short run down the A38 from Tewkesbury, so we’re on the doorstep when something goes wrong. The credentials behind the van: Gas Safe registration, City & Guilds qualifications, OFTEC accreditation, and approved-installer status with Vaillant. Jobs range from small repairs to designing and fitting a complete heating system, in houses, flats, shops and commercial sites alike.

Local Knowledge for Tewkesbury Properties
Tewkesbury and its surrounding villages have a property mix that’s noticeably different from Gloucester or Cheltenham.
Plenty of central Tewkesbury is on mains gas, the surrounding villages, on the other hand, are off-grid and running on oil. There are also barn conversions and period homes around the Abbey, and listed buildings we need to think about.
A few things we look out for on Tewkesbury jobs:
- The Flood plain. Quite a few properties around Twyning, the Mythe and the Severn-Avon confluence have flooded in recent years. Boilers, manifolds and oil tanks need to be sited carefully and we know what insurers want to see.
- Off-grid fuel choices. We service and install oil boilers, and we’ll give you a straight comparison if you’re weighing oil vs heat pump.
- Listed buildings. Quite a bit of central Tewkesbury is listed, and external work needs to be signed off.
- Older oil tanks. Replacing single-skin tanks with bunded ones to meet current regulations and insurance requirements.
Areas we Cover Around Tewkesbury
We work across all Gloucester postcodes including Tewkesbury and the surrounding villages like Twyning and Forthampton.
We also cover Cheltenham.
Accreditations and What They Mean
Heating and gas work is regulated for good reason, and the wrong qualifications mean the wrong kind of cover when something goes wrong. What we hold:
- Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). This ensures compliance with the UK quality standards for installers of small scale renewable technologies, such as heat pumps.
- Gas Safe registered. Required by law for any gas work in the UK. Every engineer carries an ID card you can check.
- OFTEC accredited. Required for oil installations and servicing, which matters for off-grid Gloucestershire properties.
- City & Guilds qualified. Plumbing and heating qualifications across the team.
- Vaillant Advance accredited installer. We can install, service and repair Vaillant boilers & heat pumps
- Trust a Trader member. Independently verified reviews from Gloucester customers.
- Worcester Bosch accredited installer. Lets us register the extended manufacturer guarantee, up to twelve years on the Greenstar range.
How we Quote and What we Charge
For small jobs (a leak, a tap, a service) we’ll usually give you a price over the phone and a straight time-and-materials quote when we arrive. For anything bigger we send an engineer out to survey the property properly. No phone-quote nonsense for boiler installs, heat pumps or bathroom refits, because the right price depends on what we actually see.
You’ll get a written quote and if anything changes mid-job (it sometimes does on older properties), we’ll talk to you before doing the work, not after. No surprise extras at the end.
Why Tewkesbury Homeowners Choose Priority One Plumbing
We’re a local firm working across Tewkesbury and the surrounding villages; not a national chain.
You get: a proper survey before any non-trivial quote, a fixed price written down, engineers who arrive on time, put dust sheets down, take boots off and are polite. We service what we fit and we’ll remind you when annual servicing is due, which keeps the manufacturer guarantee valid.
