Our Installation Process

At McGhie’s Plumbing and Heating, we believe every customer should know exactly what to expect. Whether you need a small plumbing repair, an annual boiler service, a new heating system or a renewable energy installation, our process is designed to be clear, straightforward and transparent from start to finish.
For larger projects, such as boiler installations, heat pumps and underfloor heating, you’ll typically follow the five-step process below. For smaller repairs and servicing, some stages may be combined, but we’ll always explain the costs and agree the work with you before carrying out anything beyond the initial appointment.

01

Estimate or Initial Enquiry

Every project starts with an estimate or an initial enquiry. Where available, simply complete one of our online estimate tools to receive an instant guide price in just a few minutes.
For services without an online estimate, simply contact our team. We’ll discuss your requirements, explain our pricing and guide you through the next steps.

02

Survey or Call-Out

For larger installation projects, we’ll arrange a survey to assess your property, discuss your requirements and gather the information needed to prepare your quotation.
For repairs, servicing and smaller plumbing jobs, we’ll arrange a call-out to assess the issue and recommend the most appropriate solution. If any additional work is required, we’ll always discuss it with you and obtain your approval before proceeding.
