Boat Plumbing and Heating Services
Red Van Plumbers provide specialist boat plumbing and heating services for narrowboats, canal boats, river boats and leisure craft across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and along the River Thames.
Marine Plumbing and Heating Services for Leisure Boats
Boat heating and plumbing systems need a different approach to domestic work. Compact spaces, LPG appliances and the specific demands of life on the water all require engineers who understand marine systems. Our team provides practical, reliable support for leisure boats along the Thames and beyond.
Marine Heating Services
Our engineers service and repair LPG boat boilers, water heaters and marine heating systems across a wide range of leisure vessels. Whether you need a routine annual service, help diagnosing a fault or a repair to get your heating back up and running, we can usually advise over the phone before booking a visit. We work on many common systems found on narrowboats and river vessels, so if you are unsure whether we cover your setup, just give us a call.
Marine Gas and LPG Engineer Services
Any boat fitted with LPG appliances needs regular safety checks from a qualified engineer. We carry out inspections, testing and servicing on marine LPG systems for leisure boats and narrowboats, and issue a combined Leisure Industry Gas Safety Record and LPG Safety Record on completion.
The inspection covers:
- LPG appliance checks
- Ventilation checks
- Gas soundness testing
- Pipework inspection
- Safety recommendations where required

Boat Plumbing Services
Boat plumbing is often tucked into tight, awkward spaces, and small faults can cause bigger problems quickly if left unattended. Our engineers handle water pipe repairs, leaking fittings, pump issues and general plumbing maintenance on leisure vessels. We approach every job methodically, diagnose the root cause first and give you a clear picture of what is needed before any work begins.
Bubble Tester Installation
Bubble testers give you a quick visual check for gas leaks in LPG systems. We can install them as part of a wider LPG inspection or marine plumbing visit. Contact us for pricing details.
