Plumber from Hemel Hempstead is highly commended in The Plumber Awards 2026
Tom Twomey, owner of Gas Tech Heating Ltd in Hemel Hempstead, has been highly commended in The Plumber Awards 2026.
Tom entered a project completed on a two-bedroom new build property where he completed heat loss calculations then recommended a heat pump with underfloor heating. The system can be monitored using an app which both Tom and his customer can use to keep energy bills as low as possible.
His entry was praised by the judges for its technical expertise and design of an ultra-efficient low-temperature heating system and demonstrating best practice in modern heat pump installation.
Tom said: “I work with many customers in Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding areas and exceptional service is something I pride myself on. Whether it’s fixing a plumbing or heating issue through to designing a new system for a home, as a family-owned business, we always make sure we go above and beyond to ensure every client feels valued, listened to, informed and supported.”
The inaugural awards - brought to the market by the same team as the long-running Heating Installer Awards - celebrate the very best plumbers in the UK, who go above and beyond for their customers and deliver fantastic work, every time.
Winners were selected by a panel of industry experts, professional associations and experienced plumbers during a day-long judging process held at Polypipe Building Products. The judges commented that entries were of an incredibly high standard, setting a high bar in the awards’ first year.
The free-to-enter awards celebrate the best plumbers in the UK and not only give tradespeople the chance to be recognised for their amazing work, but also to win fantastic prizes from sponsors including CT1, Kingsbridge, Polypipe Building Products, Powered Now, the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering and Refresh.
The awards are for plumbers working on domestic projects only, and to be eligible, they must be 18 years old or over and hold an NVQ 2 or 3 in England, Wales and NI or an SNVQ3 only in Scotland as a minimum.
The winners will be announced on 24th June 2026 at InstallerSHOW, taking place at Birmingham NEC.
