About
A family firm where the directors are the engineers.
Guildford Plumbing and Heating Ltd is run by Matt and Phil Camp. They are the people who look at the job, set the price and carry out the work — and the people you ring afterwards if anything needs a second look.
Guildford · family-run, directors on the tools
A limited company where the directors still turn up in the van.
Guildford Plumbing and Heating Ltd is run by Matt and Phil Camp, and the reason that matters is visible in the reviews: customers do not write about "the team" or "the office", they write about Matt explaining the job from beginning to end, and about Phil quoting the work and getting it done quickly. The person who prices your job is the person who carries it out and the person you ring afterwards.
The range is deliberately wide, because most Guildford houses do not have a heating problem or a plumbing problem — they have one of each. Boiler servicing and replacement, powerflushing a sludged system, tracing a leak nobody can see, a bathroom or wet room start to finish, an unvented cylinder, a commercial kitchen, or a tap that has been dripping since March. One firm, one number, one set of people who already know the pipework.
In plumbing, the tell is rarely the finished tiling. It is whether the pipework behind it was run by somebody who expected to be judged on it — which is why one customer describing a loft conversion said the pipe work was a work of art, and why that line is worth more than any badge on a website.
The person who quotes it is the person who does it
Matt and Phil Camp are the active directors of Guildford Plumbing and Heating Ltd and the engineers named in the reviews. You are not handed from a salesperson to a subcontractor, and the engineer who saw the job is the one who comes back if anything needs a second look.
Leak detection with nothing to pay if it is not found
The firm's standing promise on leak detection is exactly that: find the leak, or there is nothing to pay. Tracing water under a floor or inside a wall is the one plumbing job where you can spend money and end up knowing nothing, so the risk sits with the engineer rather than the customer.
Gas work by Gas Safe registered engineers
Every gas appliance — boiler, hob, fire — is worked on by Gas Safe registered engineers, and landlord safety certificates are issued off the back of that. Ask to see the ID card before any gas work starts, and check the registration yourself on the Gas Safe Register. Any honest firm will expect you to.

Where the work happens
Guildford and Surrey, worked out of Worplesdon
Check it at Companies HouseBoth of those can be checked in a minute: the company on the Companies House register, and the gas registration on the ID card the engineer carries at your door and on the Gas Safe Register. That is deliberately more useful than a row of logos.
Registrations, qualifications and insurance
These are the registrations, qualifications and cover the firm states it holds, written out rather than turned into a wall of logos. A badge on a website proves nothing on its own — the card at your door, the public register and a current insurance certificate do.
Gas Safe registered engineers
Gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, and the firm publishes registration number 591545 on its own certification page. The right way to satisfy yourself is the same for any heating firm: ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card at the door — it lists the specific appliances they are signed off for and carries an expiry date — and look the registration up yourself on the Gas Safe Register.
Gas qualifications: CCN1, CEN1, CKR1, CPA
The core domestic gas competencies listed on the firm's certification page — core gas safety, central heating boilers, cookers and gas pipework. These are the assessments behind a gas engineer's card rather than a badge, and they are what the ID card at the door actually records.
City & Guilds Level 3 — Energy Efficiency for Domestic Heating
Listed by the firm on its certification page. It is the qualification behind the efficiency side of the work: correct boiler sizing, controls, zoning and system design rather than simply swapping like for like and hoping the bills fall.
G3 — unvented hot water systems
Also listed on the certification page. G3 is the building-regulations competence required to install or work on an unvented hot water cylinder — the sealed, mains-pressure type — which is not something an unqualified plumber should be touching.
Public liability insurance
The firm states it carries full public liability cover. Ask for the certificate and the expiry date before a large job starts; any established firm will send it over without fuss.
Where Matt and Phil work
Guildford first, Surrey after that.
The firm describes its patch as professional plumbing and heating services across Guildford and Surrey, and works out of Worplesdon on the north-west edge of the town. Guildford itself and the villages around it are the bulk of the diary; wider Surrey work is taken on too, so if you are not sure whether you are in range, it is one phone call to find out.
Guildford
The town itself — boiler services, breakdowns, leaks and bathroom work across the centre and the surrounding roads, which is where most of the diary sits.
Worplesdon & the villages
The firm works out of Worplesdon on the north-west edge of Guildford, so the lanes and villages around it are the shortest run in the van.
Surrey
Wider Surrey work, in the firm's own words: professional plumbing and heating services across Guildford and Surrey. If you are near the edge of that, ring and ask rather than guessing.
Mon–Fri, 7.30am–6pm · closed Saturday & Sunday. Those are the hours on the Google business profile. Matt and Phil are engineers first, so the phone is often answered between jobs rather than at a desk — if it rings out, leave a message or email a photo of the appliance and the fault code, and you will get a call back.
