Sugplumb was established by Stuart Sugden almost 20 years ago. Stuart, who lives in Ballater, with his family, is a gas safe registered plumber and heating engineer.
Since those early days, Sugplumb has expanded, and its team of 11 engineers and support staff now support homeowners, businesses, and community groups with their plumbing, renewables, and heating requirements throughout the north east of Scotland.

We are proud to have been chosen to be an OVO Energy partner for our renewable energy expertise. When you work with us, you’re getting local expertise backed by one of the UK’s largest energy providers.
In practice, that means:

Everyone at Sugplumb is ready to go the extra mile for our customers. As an independent business, we provide unbiased advice that’s tailored to individual needs.

Collaborating closely with suppliers and manufacturers, Sugplumb enhances product knowledge and customer support.
Additionally, we prioritise supporting other local businesses whenever feasible, maintaining a policy of honesty and trustworthiness in fulfilling customer requirements.
You’ll never hear from us – unless you want to!
We’re committed to traditional values. Unlike the typical sales-driven approach with cold calling, we much prefer personal contact and a friendly, efficient service.
