The Team Behind Every Job

David — founder of Leak and Heat Heroes, plumber in Coventry
Founder & Lead Engineer

Hi, I'm David

Founder · Leak and Heat Heroes

I started Leak and Heat Heroes because I wanted to build something I'd be proud to put my name on. A specialist team — properly qualified, properly equipped — where every customer gets the same level of care, whatever the job. As founder, I'm not just the person behind the company — I'm on the tools every day, making sure the standard I set from day one never slips.

I hold G3 certification for unvented cylinders and APHC Accreditation. All gas work is carried out by our Gas Safe registered engineer. Between us, we cover everything from a dripping tap in CV7 to a full heating system in CV3.

That's why over 350 of our customers have left us a five-star review, and why most new enquiries come from word of mouth.

Advanced Services Most Plumbers Can't Offer

Beyond standard plumbing, our team holds specialist expertise that requires dedicated training and professional equipment — setting us apart from most contractors in Coventry.

Non-Invasive Leak Detection

A hidden leak can go unnoticed for months — quietly rotting floorboards, growing damp patches and driving up your water bills. By the time it's obvious, the damage is already done.

We use professional thermal imaging camera, trace gas detection and acoustic equipment to find the exact source — without tearing apart your home. We then fix it and provide a full written report with photographs, ready to submit directly to your insurer.

Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating done properly transforms how a home feels. Done badly, it's an expensive problem hidden under your floor.

We design and install wet underfloor heating systems compatible with every floor type — tile, wood, screed, LVT — for new builds and full renovations alike. Every system is designed around your specific home and integrated with smart controls for room-by-room management from your phone.

New Build Installations Retrofit Systems All Floor Types Manifold Systems Smart App Control

Unvented & Vented Cylinders

If your shower pressure is disappointing or your hot water runs out too quickly, an unvented hot water system could completely change your experience at home.

Unvented cylinders deliver mains-pressure hot water to every tap and shower simultaneously — no cold spots, no weak flow upstairs. G3 certification is a legal requirement to install them, and our team holds this qualification.

Leak & Heat Heroes provided an excellent service and fixed a long-standing underfloor heating issue. Dawid replaced the old manifold with a brand new one, installed a new pump, and now everything works perfectly.

120m² underfloor heating installation — Coventry
★★★★★
We had 120m² of underfloor heating installed using an overlay system, and the level of service was outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the workmanship was to a very high standard, and the overlay system was the perfect choice — minimal disruption and an excellent final result. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely customer-focused.

Water softener installation — Coventry
★★★★★
My family recently changed address to a hard water zone and were having issues — particularly on our 9 month old baby. Created a Checkatrade ad and within an hour was contacted by this team. They came out a couple of days later and fit our water softener. Even worked around our last minute requests and got the job done as expected. Nice clean result. So far so good!

local knowledge

Plumbing & Heating in Coventry — What We Know

Coventry's housing stock is among the most varied in the West Midlands. The city has a substantial core of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing — particularly in CV1, CV2 and CV6 — built between 1880 and 1930 to house workers from the ribbon-weaving and watchmaking industries. Streets across Hillfields, Foleshill, Radford and Holbrooks frequently still have original lead supply pipes and lead stopcocks, which should be replaced as a matter of priority for water safety.

The post-war rebuilding programme that followed the 1940 Blitz created a second layer of housing — largely 1950s semi-detached and terraced properties across CV3, CV4 and CV5 — many of which now have ageing back boilers, gravity-fed copper cylinders or early combination boilers approaching the end of their service life. Newer estates in Canley, Tile Hill and Cheylesmore tend to have more modern systems, though even these are now of an age where regular servicing and planned replacement become cost-effective.

Water hardness in Coventry is classified as moderately hard (approximately 200–250 mg/l as CaCO₃), which means limescale accumulation inside boilers, unvented cylinders and shower heads is a real long-term maintenance concern — particularly for properties on mains-pressure systems without water softeners.

What this means for Coventry homeowners
  • Lead supply pipes and stopcocks common in pre-1940 properties across CV1, CV2 and CV6
  • Post-war semi-detached stock often has ageing back boilers or conventional systems due for upgrade
  • Moderately hard water accelerates limescale build-up in boilers and cylinders
  • Unvented cylinders increasingly popular in CV5 and CV8 where mains pressure is good
  • New builds in CV3 and CV4 increasingly specify wet underfloor heating systems
  • Victorian terraces in CV1 frequently have original cast-iron radiators requiring replacement
frequently asked questions

Common Questions About Our Coventry Service

How quickly can you reach me for an emergency in Coventry?
We aim to reach any Coventry address within 60 minutes of your call — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays. Call 07934 844 936 and we'll give you an honest ETA straight away.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Coventry?
No — our quotes are completely free. Just send a few photos or a short video and we'll price the job honestly over the phone. There's no call-out charge to assess the problem, and no obligation to proceed. You only pay what we agree upfront, before we start.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?
Yes. All gas work — including boiler repairs, boiler installations, gas safety certificates and any work on gas appliances or pipework — is carried out by our Gas Safe registered engineer. We never allow unqualified personnel to touch gas.
My boiler pressure keeps dropping — could I have a hidden leak?
Quite possibly. Constantly dropping boiler pressure is one of the most common signs of a hidden leak in a central heating system — often in underfloor pipes or behind walls where it can go unnoticed for months. We can carry out a non-invasive leak detection survey to find the exact source without unnecessary damage to your home.
Are lead stopcocks common in Coventry, and can you replace one?
Yes to both. Lead stopcocks are widespread in older Coventry properties — particularly Victorian and Edwardian terraces in CV1, CV2 and CV6, many built between 1880 and 1930. Lead can leach into drinking water over time and should be replaced as a priority. We carry the parts on the van and can often complete the work the same day you call, across all CV postcodes.
Do you carry out plumbing work in dental practices and healthcare facilities?
Yes — this is one of our specialist areas. We service RODI systems and unvented cylinders in dental practices and healthcare facilities across Coventry, working to the hygiene and sterility standards that clinical environments require. We also handle ongoing maintenance and emergency callouts. If you manage a dental practice or clinic and need a reliable plumber who understands the compliance requirements, give us a call.
Can you install a smart thermostat with my existing boiler?
In most cases, yes. We install and configure Hive, Nest and Tado smart thermostats and can advise on the best fit for your existing setup. We also upgrade older systems to full smart control — including multi-zone underfloor heating managed from a single app on your phone.
Can you install underfloor heating in my Coventry home?
Yes — we design and install wet underfloor heating systems for new builds, extensions and retrofits across Coventry. UFH works with all floor types including tile, wood, screed and LVT, and integrates with smart controls for room-by-room management.
What is an unvented cylinder and do I need one?
An unvented hot water cylinder delivers mains-pressure hot water to every tap and shower in your home — no cold showers, no weak pressure upstairs, no cold water tank taking up loft space. Installation legally requires a G3-qualified engineer, which our team holds.
Can you provide a Gas Safety Certificate for my Coventry rental property?
Yes. We issue CP12 Gas Safety Certificates for landlords across all CV postcodes. Landlords are legally required to renew annually, and we can set up automatic renewal reminders so your certificate never lapses and your property stays compliant.
Do you work weekends and bank holidays in Coventry?
Yes — 7 days a week, 365 days a year including all bank holidays. If you have a plumbing or heating problem, we're available. Just call 07934 844 936 and we'll give you an honest ETA.
Do you provide written reports for insurance claims?
Yes. After every leak detection survey we provide a full written report with photographs documenting the source and cause of the leak. These reports are accepted by all major UK insurers and are designed to support your claim directly.
Can you service a Vaillant, Worcester or Glow-worm boiler in Coventry?
Yes — our Gas Safe registered engineer works across all major boiler brands including Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Baxi, Ideal, Glow-worm and Potterton. We carry common spare parts on the van and aim to complete most repairs on the first visit.
