15+ Years on the Tools, Bringing Real Heating & Plumbing Experience to You.
“That’s me working on a radiator installation. When you're on the tools every day, you quickly learn what actually holds up, what leaks, and what advice genuinely saves time and money.”
Hi, I’m Adam, the founder of PlumbGrade. For over 15 years, I’ve been on the tools day in, day out as a qualified plumbing and heating engineer across the UK : inside real homes, fixing emergency burst pipes, fitting heating systems, balancing radiators, and testing nearly every wrench, cutter, and fitting on the market.
Over the years, I noticed a frustrating problem online: plumbing advice was either guarded behind impenetrable trade jargon, or mass produced by generic websites whose writers had never held an adjustable wrench or drained a system in their lives. Meanwhile, tool and product reviews were saturated with sponsored hype instead of honest jobsite durability.
Whether you’re a homeowner trying to silence a noisy radiator or stop a drip before calling out an engineer, a DIYer taking pride in your own renovation, or an apprentice mastering the trade, you deserve straightforward, trustworthy advice.
That’s exactly why I created PlumbGrade. No fluff, no sponsored bias, and no gatekeeping : just real world experience, reliable tool breakdowns, and practical plumbing knowledge you can actually trust.
