About Guildford Plumbing & Heating
A Guildford heating business, built by one engineer and now run by the next generation of the same family.
It started with one engineer and a van
Guildford Plumbing & Heating grew out of CGR Plumbing & Heating, a Guildford business built up over years by one Gas Safe engineer doing careful work and letting word of mouth do the advertising. That approach produced a Checkatrade rating of 9.67 out of 10 across 266 verified reviews, which is not a number you can buy.
The business has since been taken over by the next generation of the same family and relaunched as Guildford Plumbing & Heating. Same engineers, same standards, same customers — a new name, a proper website and the capacity to take on more work than one van ever could.
The reason for the change was simple. The reputation was already there. What was missing was a way for people who had never met us to find that out, get a price without a sales visit, and book us without playing phone tag for a week.
What we will not do
- Sit at your kitchen table for two hours
- Offer a discount that expires at midnight
- Quote a price and then find extras halfway through
- Sell you a boiler when your house needs controls
- Recommend a repair on a boiler that is finished
The engineer behind it
Chaudhry is our lead Gas Safe engineer and the person who built the reputation the business runs on. If you read through our reviews you will find his name in a lot of them, usually next to a comment about explaining things clearly and leaving the place tidy.
That is the standard every job is now measured against. It is also why we would rather grow slowly and keep the rating than take on more than we can do properly.
What we hold
- Gas Safe registration for all gas work
- G3 qualification for unvented cylinders
- F-Gas qualification for air conditioning refrigerant work
- Full public liability insurance
- Vaillant Advance installer accreditation
Happy to show you any of these before you book. If a company will not show you its Gas Safe card, do not let it near your boiler.
Where we are heading
Two things are changing about heating in this country, and we would rather be ready for them than caught out by them.
Cooling is no longer a luxury
Surrey summers have changed and air conditioning has stopped being something only offices have. We now install it for homes, and because a modern unit heats as efficiently as it cools, it earns its keep in January as well as July.
Heat pumps are coming
We are working through MCS certification so we can install heat pumps and handle the government grant properly. Until that is in place we will give you honest advice on whether your house suits one rather than pretending we can do the paperwork.
Trusted by hundreds of homes across Surrey and London
Every review here is a verified Checkatrade review, left after a real job. Many were written under our previous name, CGR Plumbing & Heating — same engineers, same standards, new name.

Boiler and radiator fault repair
★★★★★
I had a boiler fault that was actually caused by an airlock in my central heating. Chaudray identified the potential issue quickly and clearly communicated the steps required to fix it. He carried out the work then and there, and the problem was solved. He was very courteous and tidy, too.

Quality of work, clarity and tidiness was excellent. Chaudray was clear about all the steps of work, fixed some historical issues as part of solving the job to the best standard, but checked, explained and gave options as he went.
