About Strata

Strata Plumbing & Heating is the new name for GCG Plumbing & Heating. Only the name has changed. The engineer and the standard of work are the same.

George Gribble from Strata Plumbing & Heating with his van

I'm George Gribble

I've worked in plumbing and heating for 9 years and run the business on my own. When you call, you speak to me, and I'm the one who turns up.

I was always going to end up in a trade. Hands-on work suits me best. What I enjoy is the problem solving, and leaving people's homes better than I found them.

I changed the name from GCG to Strata in October 2026. The name is new, but the work isn't. Every job still gets the same care: the price agreed before I start, everything tested before I leave, and the place left tidy. That's what earned the 21 reviews on Google, which customers left under the GCG name and which carry over to Strata.

We recently had a new boiler installed and were extremely satisfied with the service provided. From the outset, everything was clearly explained, and communication remained excellent throughout the process. The installation was carried out professionally, efficiently, and to a high standard.

The engineer was courteous, reliable, and ensured the work area was left clean and tidy upon completion. It is evident that he takes great pride in his workmanship.

I would highly recommend his services and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

I first got George’s number through a friend when I needed a radiator fitted in my son’s room. He was brilliant from start to finish . efficient, professional, and did an excellent job. I was so impressed that I asked him to come back and fit a radiator in my own bedroom. His advice on the right size radiator was spot on, and once again the workmanship was first class.

Since then, George has also fixed and resealed my bathroom, which was long overdue. Every job he’s done has been completed to a really high standard. He’s reliable, friendly, always turns up with a smile, and is a real perfectionist who takes pride in his work.

George has now become our go-to plumber, and I’ve already recommended him to friends and neighbours. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again for any future plumbing work. Highly recommended!

George provided excellent service installing two new toilets in my home. Throughout the process, he was flexible, highly patient, and answered all of my questions. His guidance helped me make the best decision for my house. I highly recommend George and will certainly continue using his services for any future plumbing needs.
