When we needed a new boiler, TM Hughes supplied and fitted it promptly and efficiently. The heating/hot water system was checked thoroughly after installation, including existing radiators, and the kitchen cleared and tidied afterwards. I have used this company for a number of years for boiler and hot water cylinder checks and maintenance, and can recommend them to others.

TM Hughes has serviced and worked on correcting my boiler installation (from a different and poor company) for 5 years. They have always been very professional and, importantly, turned up on time. The work is reasonably priced, and I have never had an issue with what they have done for me.

During a recent boiler fault, which was hard to diagnose, Terry, the owner, became involved and was absolutely great in helping me to resolve this with Glowworm under warranty. Very friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and gives honest advice that a customer can trust.

I highly recommend TM Hughes and will use them for years to come and do recommend them to my friends, family, and anyone reading this review!

Paul Blakeley

Can't speak highly enough of Terry & his staff. Terry gave a very competitive quote for the work needed & fully informed me of what was involved. He was more than happy to answer any questions i had regarding the job, which was very helpful. Alex installed my new boiler, i was impressed with his time keeping & he worked non stop all day long. He also cleaned up as he went along. The quality of his work is excellent i am very impressed, its great to have peace of mind that you have a plumbing company like this that you can call on if & when needed.

Excellent service and quality of work. A highly recommended company that offers outstanding value

Jeff Collins

15:33 09 Oct 25

Absolutely first class service, although he was very busy he still found a bit of time to take a look and see why we had no heating or hot water. I thought that this level of customer service died out a long time ago but totally impressed by the "above and beyond" dedication that was shown to try and help us. I cannot recommend them high enough, if there was a facility to give a 'perfect 10' then Terry would easily get it. As they say, Forget the rest, just call the best

Sanand Jemma

10:01 09 Oct 25

Terry and Alex were amazing at helping us with our boiler. Making an effort to fit us in at short notice and working on a Saturday to install a new one so that we weren’t long without hot water / heating. Terry is also very communicative and willing to help over the phone and unsociable hours! I would recommend.

Paul Franklin

20:03 08 Oct 25

Terry and his crew are knowledgable and efficient. They are friendly, helpful and reasonably priced. I have used Terry for many years and always been very pleased with the work he has done. I have tried many plumbers in the past but TM Hughes had always been the best.

Ben Whitney

19:16 08 Oct 25

Great service and nice guys! I had a complex underfloor heating issue. They came out and assessed it. A week later came with all the parts and fixed it. Gave some great advice on how to maintain the system and made some cost saving recommendations. Definitely would use them again.

CMAgeo

Booked T. M. Hughes for our annual boiler service. Terry arrived in the time we were told he’d be at our address. Service was completed well and advice given on status and age of boiler, any issues that we could expect in years to come.
We have used T. M. Hughes for a number of years now and are very happy with the service we receive.
We will continue to use them and can thoroughly recommend to anyone needing gas and/or plumbing services.

Magda Izzard

John Smith

16:07 06 Oct 25

Terry from TM Hughes was an absolute super star when originally dealing with my 90 yr old Mum and since then with myself, in dealing with a thermostat issue with her under floor heating.

Colin Dunn

This company is absolutely amazing! I’ve been using them for many years for standard boiler servicing but in the last couple of months I’ve needed urgent assistance with my disabled mums boiler.
Terry is always very responsive, knowledgeable, and focuses on finding the best solution. Nothing is too much trouble. He takes pride in the company’s work and genuinely cares about his customers.

Air Conditioning Installation

We install a range of Air Conditioning systems. Whether you’re looking to cool a small office or a large residential property. We possess the experience and expertise to deliver the optimal solution.

Installation of split, multi-split, and central systems
Systems tailored to property size and layout
Full survey and quote
Experienced engineers
Expert installation to the highest standards

Types of Air Conditioning Systems We Install

We offer several types of Air Conditioning systems, each with its advantages. Systems include:

Split systems
Multi-split systems
Central/ducted systems

Split System Air Conditioning

Split systems are ideal for cool single rooms and smaller spaces. Split systems feature an outdoor and indoor unit connected by refrigerant pipes, making them easy to install and highly effective at controlling temperature in specific areas of your home or business.

Multi-Split Systems

Multi-split systems are an excellent solution for properties with multiple rooms which require individual temperature control.

Multi-split systems include multiple indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit. They can cool multiple rooms without needing multiple outdoor units. Energy-efficient and ideal for those with limited outdoor space.

Central Air Conditioning

For larger properties or those who want a discreet solution, central Air Conditioning systems are an excellent choice. Central systems cool multiple rooms or an entire building by distributing cool air through ducts installed in the ceiling. Ducted systems provide even temperatures throughout your space, with zoning flexibility for different areas of your property.

The Installation Process

Personalised assessment to match your needs
Thorough site evaluation for best unit placement
Careful, efficient installation of all equipment
Full compliance with regulations and energy standards
Rigorous system testing after fitting
Professional installation for long-term reliability

Personalised Assessment

The installation begins with a survey to understand your requirements and assess your property. We consider factors such as the size of your property. The number of rooms. The overall layout is used to determine the best system for your specific needs.

Thorough Site Evaluation

We conduct a full site evaluation. This includes determining the most suitable location for indoor and outdoor units, ensuring optimal airflow and avoiding potential obstructions. Following the survey, you’ll be provided with a no-obligation quote.

Careful and Efficient Installation

The installation involves securing the units, connecting the necessary refrigerant and electrical lines, and installing ductwork.

Compliance and Energy Efficiency

We ensure everything is aligned with building regulations and energy efficiency standards throughout the installation.

Rigorous Testing

Once the system is installed, we perform testing. Ensuring your system runs correctly and will maintain a cool space.

Long-Term Reliability

Professional installation ensures the long-term reliability of your Air Conditioning system. Incorrect installation can cause inefficiency, higher energy costs, and potential breakdowns.

High Standards of Service

At TM Hughes & Son, we ensure every installation is completed to the highest standard, fitting an air conditioning system which delivers optimal performance and energy efficiency for many years.

Air Conditioning Servicing

Regular servicing is essential to keeping your Air Conditioning system running efficiently and reliably.

Servicing ensures your system runs properly. Helps prevent unexpected breakdowns. Improves energy efficiency. And increases the lifespan of your system.

Why Annual Servicing Is Important

Annual Air Con servicing is important for several reasons:

Prevent Costly Problems

Annual servicing prevents minor issues from turning into major problems. By identifying potential faults early, we can address them before they become expensive issues.

Servicing ensures your Air Conditioning runs smoothly and efficiently. Reducing the likelihood of costly future repairs.

Improve Energy Efficiency

Another important aspect of servicing is energy efficiency. As your system accumulates dust, dirt, and debris over time, it will become less efficient and require more effort to maintain a comfortable temperature. Which means increased energy consumption and higher energy bills.

Servicing keeps your system clean and running at peak efficiency. Saving you money on energy bills.

Maintain Good Air Quality

Servicing is also vital for maintaining good air quality. Over time, filters and coils will accumulate dust and allergens, reducing the air quality circulating in your home or business.

Regular cleaning and filter replacement ensure your Air Conditioning system continues to provide fresh, clean air.

What Our Servicing Includes

Our Air Conditioning servicing includes:

Checking and cleaning filters, coils, and refrigerants for optimal airflow
Inspecting for wear, tear, or potential future issues
Calibrating the system and adjusting the thermostat for accurate temperature control

Air Conditioning Repairs

Air Conditioning systems sometimes develop issues which require repair. We understand the inconvenience of a broken Air Conditioning system, especially during hot weather. That’s why we offer swift and reliable repair services to get your system back up and running as quickly as possible.

Common Air Conditioning Problems

Common Air Conditioning problems include:

Inadequate Cooling

One of the most common problems with Air Conditioning systems is inadequate cooling.

If your system isn’t cooling your space properly, low refrigerant levels, dirty filters, or malfunctioning components could be the culprit.

These issues can result in inconsistent temperatures and poor air circulation, making your space uncomfortable.

Water Leakage

Water leakage occurs when the condensate drain is clogged or the unit’s components are frozen, causing water to accumulate and leak from the system.

Leaking water can damage your home and the Air Conditioning unit itself.

Electrical Issues

Electrical issues, such as faulty wiring and fuses, or malfunctioning thermostats, can also occur in Air Conditioning systems. Electrical issues can cause the system to run erratically or stop working.

Refrigerant Leaks

Refrigerant leaks are another issue which can affect cooling performance. If the refrigerant level is low, your system will struggle to maintain efficient cooling of your space. A leak can even damage the air compressor.

Fast & Efficient Repairs

We take a thorough approach to diagnosing air conditioning issues. Our engineers inspect your system. They’ll identify the source of the issue and provide a precise and accurate diagnosis.

Once the issue is identified, we undertake fast and efficient repairs.

We fit high-quality replacement parts to ensure your Air Conditioning system runs effectively after the repair.
