About Us
About Ability Plumbing & Heating
Ability Plumbing & Heating is a Gas Safe registered plumbing and heating company based in Sevenoaks, Kent. For over 15 years, we have provided boiler servicing, repairs, smart thermostat installations, power flushing, and unvented cylinder services to homeowners and landlords across the region.
We started this business because we believed local homeowners deserved better than the experience most people associate with calling a tradesperson — missed appointments, vague pricing, and work that needs redoing six months later. From day one, our approach has been straightforward: turn up when we say we will, quote a fair price before starting, and do the job properly the first time.

Where We Work
We are based in Sevenoaks and serve a wide area of Kent and the London borders. Our regular service areas include Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Orpington, and Edenbridge, along with the many towns and villages between them.
Being a local company means we understand the area. We know that many properties in Sevenoaks have older heating systems due to conservation area restrictions on external modifications. We know the mix of Victorian terraces and newer estates in Tonbridge, and the larger period homes in Tunbridge Wells that often need specialist heating solutions.
For homeowners in the Maidstone area, we are proud to work alongside other reputable local firms such as Central Heating Maidstone, who share our commitment to professional standards and reliable service across the county town.
Similarly, homeowners in Tonbridge and the wider Kent area may also find Boiler Fit Direct Kent a useful resource for boiler installation and heating services across the region.
We believe that a strong network of qualified, trustworthy heating engineers benefits everyone in Kent. Homeowners get more choice, and standards across the industry improve when good companies hold each other to account.
Our Approach
We keep things simple. When you call us, you speak directly to someone who can help. We arrange a visit at a time that works for you, we arrive on time, and we give you an honest assessment of what needs doing. If a repair is not worth the cost, we will tell you. If your system is fine and just needs a service, we will not invent problems.
Every quote we provide is written, detailed, and given to you before any work starts. There is no pressure to accept, no call-out charge for the assessment, and no hidden extras added to the final bill. The price you agree to is the price you pay.
After the work is complete, we clean up after ourselves and talk you through what we have done. For boiler services, you receive a written report. For repairs, we explain the fault, the fix, and any follow-up recommendations. We want you to understand your heating system, not just trust us blindly.
