About Us

At BAT Plumbing and Heating, we’re proud to be your local plumbing and gas experts, based right here in Englefield Green. Run by James Tobin, a fully qualified and Gas Safe registered engineer (653015), we bring over 15 years of experience and a no-nonsense approach to every job.

BAT Plumbing and Heating was founded by James Tobin. James began his career through a traditional plumbing apprenticeship, learning the trade the right way: with real-world experience, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. He then went on to work in social housing for 5 years, and then a further 10 years working for various homeowners and estate agents all across London where he gained invaluable experience solving a wide range of plumbing and heating issues in busy, fast-paced environments. It’s where he learned the importance of clear communication, reliable service, and treating every home with respect.

Came to my rescue and diagnosed a leak in my bathroom almost instantly. Was honest and upfront regarding pricing before he came, and was prompt and on time as arranged. A really friendly and warm gentleman. The problem was diagnosed and fixed, with a new part sourced and fitted almost instantly. A absolute life saver, and a honest workman who is a credit to his industry.
