Please read on to see our qualifications and accreditation.
The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering is the professional body for the UK plumbing and heating industry, to which we are accredited. All of our plumbing and heating engineers are fully qualified when they complete their NVQ level 2 & 3 during their apprenticeships.
As a Gas Safe qualified company, our engineers are certified to work on any of the domestic gas appliances in your household, including new installations, breakdowns, repairs, servicing, and Gas Landlord Safety Certification in both natural gas and LPG. It is a legal requirement that anyone who works on any type of gas appliance or pipework is Gas Safe registered, so you can have the confidence that any work carried out is fully compliant. Our engineers are also qualified to install both vented and unvented hot water cylinders. We also have commercial gas qualified engineers, meaning we can offer the same service on commercial systems.
Being based in the countryside and surrounded by small towns and villages, it’s important that we’re qualified to work on oil boilers and systems where there is no local gas. OFTEC (Oil Firing Technical Association) is the governing body for oil burning appliances. By having OFTEC registered engineers we are able to install and commission new oil boilers and oil tanks.
HETAS (Heating Equipment Testing and Approvals Scheme) is the governing body for approving biomass and solid fuel heating appliances, fuels and services. Predominantly, we use our HETAS qualification for the supply and installations of wood burning stoves for our domestic customers.
As Worcester Accredited installers (WAI) for over 10 years, we are able to offer the platinum standard on all new Worcester Bosch installations, including technical support, extended warranties and full certification and registration.
We are Mitsubishi Electric Accredited Installers which, much like Worcester Bosch, enables us to offer certain installation advantages and warranties to our customers. More commonly, we install the Ecodan air source heat pump systems which require low maintenance, are quiet to run and can be discreetly placed outside homes.
We are part of the Nu Heat registered installer network, specifically with underfloor heating systems and heat pumps. Nu Heat offer a huge variety of underfloor heating systems which we are able to supply and install.
We have recently become part of Grant UK’s G1 installer programme following some successful visits to their factory in Ireland. We have specifically joined forces with Grant to use their oil products for our rural domestic customers.
We work with Citation for all of our company health & safety requirements and HR employment systems – all of which are accessible for our customers and clients to view on request.

What our customers say
We have used Thompson Heating & Plumbing since our business started, nearly 10 years ago. We have never felt the need to use anyone else, they have never failed to give us, and more importantly our clients a top quality service. Their flexible approach has been invaluable, with the inevitable last minute builders panic or emergency, even out of hours. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them as our go to Plumbers and Heating Experts.
We have worked with Thompson Heating & Plumbing over a number of years, on several projects of varying size and complexity and have found them to be exemplary. Their engineers are all highly experienced in their field, covering both new builds and more intricate refurbishments within old existing buildings. They have fitted in well with our team and been attentive with our clients, overcoming hurdles with ease as and when required. I cannot recommend them more highly.
Stuart Barr CDR have been working with Thompson Heating & Plumbing for several years now. Throughout that time our organisations have developed a close relationship based on trust and shared values. The team have always been incredibly accommodating – especially when we are working to tight deadlines and meeting complex challenges involving multiple third parties.
I have used Thompson Heating & Plumbing ever since starting my own company – I have found them to be extremely efficient, knowledgeable and attentive in all of their work. I wouldn’t use anyone else.
