About CG Plumbing
A family-run plumbing business built on honesty, quality workmanship and a genuine commitment to the local area.
Will Clayden — Halstead, Braintree & the Villages
From October 2026, the plumber coming to your door across Halstead and the surrounding villages is Will Clayden. Will lives in Halstead — which means when you call, the van heading to you is already local, not setting off from the other side of the county.
[PLACEHOLDER — Will's background: how long he has been in the trade, who he trained and worked with, and what he specialises in. To be written from what Will confirms, not assumed.]
Like Charlie, Will handles the heating and hot-water side of the job; any work on the gas appliance itself is carried out and certified by CG Plumbing's Gas Safe registered subcontractors. Everything else — leaks, bathrooms, cylinders, radiators, power flushing and emergency call-outs — Will handles directly.
