Meet your engineer
D.V is one man — and that's the point
When you call D.V Plumbing & Heating you get Dan Velotti — the same Gas Safe registered engineer who answers the phone, quotes the job and does the work. No call centre, no subcontractors, no surprises. Established in 2008 and based in Paignton, Dan covers the whole of Torbay and the South Hams: boiler installation, servicing and repair (gas and oil), full bathrooms and wet rooms, central heating — and the 2am emergencies in between.
