Plumbing and Heating Services in Port Talbot
RH Plumbing and Heating serves Port Talbot and its neighbourhoods with dependable, high-quality plumbing and heating solutions. From the traditional terraced streets of Sandfields and Taibach to the newer estates around Baglan, we bring professional workmanship and honest service to every property type in the area.
Our Services in Port Talbot
Port Talbot has a broad range of housing, from compact terraces in the town centre to spacious family homes in Baglan and Margam. Whatever your property type, we have the experience to deliver the right plumbing and heating solution at a price that represents genuine value.
Many homes in Port Talbot's established neighbourhoods such as Sandfields and Taibach were built in the mid-twentieth century and may still have original boilers or ageing pipework. We are experienced in upgrading these older systems to modern, energy-efficient standards, helping you reduce heating bills while improving comfort and safety.
New Boiler Installation in Port Talbot
Port Talbot has a strong industrial heritage and a housing stock to match: rows of mid-century terraces in Sandfields and Taibach, post-war semis around Margam, and newer detached homes in Baglan. Many of these properties still have older back boilers or floor-standing units long past their best, and upgrading to a modern A-rated boiler is one of the single most effective ways to bring down running costs.
We install all the major boiler brands across Port Talbot, including Worcester Bosch Greenstar, Vaillant ecoTEC, and Baxi ranges. Worcester Bosch combi boilers are the most popular choice with our Port Talbot customers, particularly for the terraced homes of Sandfields and Aberavon where the compact wall-mounted unit replaces an old back boiler and frees up valuable living space. For larger family homes around Baglan with multiple bathrooms, a system boiler with an unvented cylinder gives stronger, more consistent hot water flow at peak times.
A back boiler conversion is one of our most-requested jobs in Port Talbot. It typically involves removing the old appliance from behind the fireplace, capping off the redundant gas supply, removing or rebricking the chimney breast as needed, and fitting a new wall-mounted combi boiler in the kitchen or utility area. Every Port Talbot boiler installation we carry out includes a full system flush, a magnetic filter, modern controls, and full commissioning to manufacturer specs. Our engineers are Gas Safe registered, City & Guilds qualified, and NICEIC approved, and we handle the Building Regulations notification for you.
We also work with Port Talbot landlords managing rental properties across Aberavon, Sandfields, and Margam, scheduling new boiler replacements alongside annual gas safety certificates so the property stays compliant and warm for the tenant.

Upgrading from an Older Boiler in Port Talbot
If your boiler is more than ten or fifteen years old, chances are it is well below the efficiency of a modern A-rated unit. For homes across Port Talbot, Aberavon, and Sandfields, that difference can translate into noticeably lower heating bills and far fewer breakdowns. Here is what to think about.
Back Boiler to Combi Conversion
Common in Sandfields and Taibach terraces. We remove the old back boiler from behind the fireplace, fit a wall-mounted combi in a more sensible location, and tidy up the redundant pipework.
Floor-Standing to Wall-Mounted
Older floor-standing boilers take up valuable kitchen or utility space. Replacing with a compact wall-mounted A-rated unit recovers floor space while improving efficiency.
System or Regular to Combi
Removing tank-fed systems and converting to a combi boiler simplifies the heating system and frees up loft and airing-cupboard space across many Port Talbot homes.
Like-for-Like Replacement
Where a system or regular boiler still suits the property, we can carry out a like-for-like replacement with a modern A-rated equivalent and full system upgrade.
Magnetic Filter & Inhibitor
We protect every new Port Talbot boiler installation with a magnetic system filter and a fresh dose of system inhibitor, helping the new appliance run cleanly for longer.
Manufacturer-Backed Warranty
As accredited installers we register your new boiler with the manufacturer on the day of completion so the warranty cover begins immediately, backed by our own workmanship guarantee.
Welsh homeowners and private tenants on qualifying benefits or a low income may be able to access help towards a replacement boiler through schemes such as Nest Wales and ECO4. Eligibility depends on benefits, household income, and your property's EPC rating, and we are happy to point you towards the official scheme guidance if you think you might qualify.

Mark W.
Port Talbot
“Our old back boiler finally gave up. Rowan removed it and installed a brand-new combi boiler in the kitchen. The difference is night and day. The house heats up so much quicker now and we have instant hot water. Wish we had done it years ago.”
Julie A.

“Had a beautiful walk-in shower room fitted by RH Plumbing. From the initial quote to the final finish, everything was handled professionally. The attention to detail was outstanding, with marble tiles, black fixtures, and LED niches. Could not be happier.”
