About SC Plumbing and Heating

SC Plumbing and Heating is a family-run plumbing and heating business based in Monkton, Prestwick, covering Ayr, Kilmarnock, Irvine, Troon and most of Ayrshire and South West Scotland. Founder Steven Cowan has more than 25 years of experience, and the business was built to bring that expertise to homes across the area while giving his son Blaine the start to his own career through an apprenticeship.

We are Gas Safe registered and a Worcester and Vaillant accredited installer. These are not just badges on a website. They mean every gas and heating job is carried out safely, correctly and in line with the standards your home deserves. We keep our training and qualifications current so you can have complete confidence in the work.

Reliability, punctuality and trust are at the heart of how we work. We communicate with every customer through clear text updates, the night before a job and again when we are on our way, then follow up once the work is finished to make sure everything is exactly as it should be.

All of our work is guaranteed, and we treat every customer the way we would want to be treated. Dust sheets down first and lifted last, boot covers worn when required, and the property always left clean and tidy. That high standard is what our customers tell us they value most, and it is reflected in the reviews we are proud of.

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Yes. We are Gas Safe registered under registration number 578163, and we are a Worcester and Vaillant accredited installer. Every gas job is carried out safely and to the legal standards required, and we are happy to show our Gas Safe ID at any time.

What are your opening hours?

We are available seven days a week, Monday to Sunday from 08:00 to 21:00. That flexibility makes it easy to arrange a visit around your day. Call or message us and we will find a time that suits you.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for boiler installations and heating work. Call us on 07508 966818 or fill out our online form and we will come back to you with a clear, transparent price and no hidden extras.

How do you keep me updated during a job?

We communicate with every customer through text updates, the night before your appointment and again when we are on our way to your property. Once the work is finished, we follow up to make sure you are completely happy with the service you have received.

How long does a boiler installation take?

Most boiler installations are completed within a day. More involved system upgrades can take a little longer, and if that is the case we will let you know the timescale up front so you can plan around it.

How much does a new boiler cost?

A new boiler supplied and fitted typically costs between £2,500 and £4,000. The exact price depends on the boiler you choose, the size and layout of your system, and any extra work needed. We give you a clear, fixed quote after surveying your home.

What boiler brands do you install?

We are a Worcester and Vaillant accredited installer, and we also fit other quality brands such as Ideal, Glow-worm and Alpha. We will talk you through the best option for your home and budget, and explain the warranty that comes with each one.

What is included with a new boiler installation?

Every new boiler installation includes a free magnetic filter and a full chemical flush to protect your system and keep it running efficiently. We also remove and dispose of your old boiler, commission the new one, and register the manufacturer warranty on your behalf.

Do you offer a guarantee on your work?

Yes. All of our workmanship is guaranteed, and every new boiler comes with a manufacturer warranty, which can be up to 10 years depending on the brand and model. We explain the warranty terms clearly before any work begins.

Do you remove the old boiler?

Yes. Removing and safely disposing of your old boiler is included as part of the installation. We handle everything, disconnecting the old unit, taking it away, and leaving the area clean and tidy, so there is nothing for you to arrange separately.
