Empro Plumbing is Gas Safe Registered, allowing us to safely work on domestic boilers and gas appliances. Whether your boiler has stopped working, you’ve lost your heating or hot water, or you simply need a trusted local plumber in Folkestone, you’ll deal directly with an experienced plumbing and heating engineer who takes the time to understand the problem and recommend the right solution.
We believe choosing a plumber should be straightforward. That means turning up when agreed, communicating clearly, treating your home with respect and being transparent about the work required. We don’t believe in unnecessary repairs or upselling work you don’t need – just professional advice and a solution that’s right for your property.
Although we’re based in Folkestone, we provide plumbing and heating services throughout Cheriton, Hythe, Sandgate, Hawkinge, Capel-le-Ferne, Dover and surrounding areas, with wider coverage available across Kent.
Empro Plumbing was built around a simple idea: provide the kind of local plumbing and heating service we would want when calling someone into our own home. That means honest advice, clear communication, professional workmanship and treating every customer and property with respect.
Over the years, we have worked on thousands of plumbing and heating jobs across Folkestone and Kent, from simple leaking taps and toilet repairs to boiler breakdowns, heating faults, hot water problems and complete boiler installations. That experience allows us to diagnose problems efficiently and recommend practical solutions rather than simply replacing parts unnecessarily.
We understand how disruptive plumbing and heating problems can be. Losing your heating or hot water, discovering a leak or waking up to a boiler fault can quickly become stressful. Our aim is to make getting the problem resolved as straightforward as possible, keeping you informed and explaining what needs to be done before work is carried out.
As a Gas Safe Registered plumbing and heating business, safety is central to the work we undertake. Boiler repairs, boiler servicing and gas-related work are carried out professionally and in accordance with the appropriate requirements.
Most importantly, we’re a local business. Our reputation depends on the service we provide to customers throughout Folkestone, Hythe and the surrounding communities, which is why repeat customers and recommendations remain an important part of Empro Plumbing.
When you book with Empro Plumbing, you’ll know who you’re dealing with. Robert May is the plumber and heating engineer behind Empro Plumbing, providing a personal, local service to customers throughout Folkestone, Hythe and the surrounding areas.
With extensive experience working across domestic plumbing, boilers and central heating systems, Robert has dealt with everything from everyday leaks and plumbing repairs to complex boiler faults and heating problems. That hands-on experience means problems can be approached methodically, with the focus always on finding the cause and providing the most appropriate solution.
Being a smaller local business also means customers aren’t passed between different departments or unfamiliar engineers. From discussing the initial problem through to attending your property and completing the work, you have a clear point of contact.
As a Gas Safe Registered engineer, Robert can assist with domestic boiler repairs, annual boiler servicing, gas safety checks and heating work alongside general plumbing repairs.
Empro Plumbing’s approach is simple: be reliable, communicate clearly, charge fairly and complete work to a standard we’d be happy with in our own homes.

Rob came out to me in Folkestone as I had an emergency leak coming from my bathroom that was soaking the carpet in my bedroom. Rob found the source of the leak straight away, thoughtfully cleaned and dried the area, then replaced all the old mastic to ensure the bath/shower were now water tight and leaving my bathroom looking brand new! Would highly recommend to anyone, professional, polite and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks again Rob xPosted on Google![]()

I have used Empro three times so far. Their prompt service coupled with a great standard of work and fair pricing keeps me coming back. I’ve had Rob fix an emergency leak in the ceiling, replace a boiler system, complete repair works for Gas safety compliance and install upgraded heating controls with wireless thermostat.Posted on Google![]()

Rob arrived promptly after contacting me en route. He completed the job (a leaking toilet) and has hopefully resolved the problems left by another less competent plumber. I would be happy to recommend Empro plumbing.Posted on Google![]()

I was very pleased with the replacement water pump, which was installed to replace my faulty one. The work was carried out quickly and efficiently by Rob. I also had an issue with my boiler a month later. This was also repaired to my satisfaction by Will and Rob. Thank you Empro Plumbing
