Two names on the van · one standard
The M and V are Matthew and Vijay — and they're the ones who turn up.
MV Plumbing & Heating is run by Matthew and Vijay, co-owners and fully qualified heating and plumbing engineers with more than 27 years of experience between them. From a new boiler to a full bathroom, you deal with the people whose names are on the business — not a call centre and not a subcontractor.
The reviews tell the same story every time. When a customer's hot water failed completely, the reply was simply 'we'd better come round and sort this out' — and by teatime a new boiler was fitted and working. Radiators replaced across a whole house in a single day. And the owner spotted, mid-job, patiently teaching an apprentice he'd brought along. It's why the Google rating sits at 4.9 stars, and why customers keep recommending MV by name.

Why customers feel safe letting MV in
Registered, certified, insured — and owner-led.
Anyone can call themselves a plumber. Here is exactly what stands behind MV Plumbing & Heating, and what each of these things actually means for you.
Qualified & registered
Gas Safe Registered
By law, only a Gas Safe registered engineer may work on your boiler, gas appliances and flues. Every gas job we do — installs, repairs, servicing and Landlord Gas Safety Certificates — is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
G3 certified for unvented cylinders
Unvented, mains-pressure hot water cylinders must be installed by a G3-certified engineer. We're fully trained and certificated to fit them safely and to Building Regulations.
27 years' combined experience
Co-owners Matthew and Vijay are both fully qualified heating and plumbing engineers, with over 27 years of hands-on experience between them across the Harrogate district.
Safe to have in your home
Fully insured
The business is fully insured, so you and your property are protected in the unlikely event that anything goes wrong while we're working with you.
Owner-led jobs
Matthew or Vijay attend the work themselves rather than sending it out to a stranger. Reviewers describe the owner turning up in person — and even patiently tutoring an apprentice on site.
Trusted brand partners
We install and configure controls from Honeywell (including Evohome), Danfoss and Google Nest Generation 3, and fit boilers backed by manufacturer guarantees — kit we trust in our own customers' homes.

Recent jobs
The job, and what the customer said.
No hot water at breakfast, a new boiler by teatime
The problem — A customer's hot water boiler had failed completely, leaving the household with no hot water at all — and it wasn't easy to get anyone out at short notice.
What MV did — MV were straight on it: 'we'd better come round and sort this out.' Mid-morning, three of the team turned up including the owner, and by teatime a new boiler was fitted and working — efficiently, with minimum disruption and at a great price, all while the owner patiently tutored an apprentice on site.
“As good as his word, our problem was sorted and by teatime we had a new boiler fitted and working. The job was efficiently completed, causing minimum disruption, and at a great price. It was also pleasing to see the owner patiently tutoring an apprentice he had brought with him.”

Every radiator in the house — replaced in a day
The problem — A homeowner needed every radiator in their house replaced, and understandably didn't want the disruption stretched out over days.
What MV did — Matthew and Vijay planned it so the whole set could be swapped in a single day — draining down, replacing each radiator and valve, balancing the system and getting the heating back on, all in one visit.
“Matthew and Vijay were really helpful with replacing all of the radiators in our house, amazingly doing all of these in one day! Would recommend.”
