OUR STORY

After graduating from high school at 16 years old, Gareth attended trade school at Carillion Craft Training to become a journeyman bricklayer. With a degree under his belt, Gareth worked as a bricklayer around his hometown until he and his friends decided they wanted to see the world, so they bought one-way tickets to Australia. After touching down in Brisbane, Gareth lived and worked around Australia for 2 years before meeting Emily (his now wife) in a little suburb outside of Adelaide called Glenelg. Emily had also carved her own travel path, taking a chance on that little town outside of Adelaide, too.

Not too long after meeting, Gareth and Emily joined forces, eventually returning here to Sonoma County to build a life together. Now with 2 kids of their own and almost a decade of plumbing experience, Gareth and Emily built Yorkshire Plumbing & Drain Services as a way to connect much needed trade services to the community.

Yorkshire Plumbing takes pride in bringing affordable, reliable & honest plumbing solutions to local residents & businesses, with an unwavering contribution to building a stronger Sonoma County.

Q: Where is Yorkshire & What is a Yorkshire Pudding?

Yorkshire is a historic county in northern England known for its countryside, stone villages, and long cultural history. It is divided into North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The region is often called “God’s Own County” and is one of the largest and most scenic areas in England.

Q: Where is Yorkshire & What is a Yorkshire Pudding?

A Yorkshire pudding is a traditional English dish made from a simple batter of eggs, flour, and milk. When baked at a high temperature, it rises into a light, crispy, fluffy bowl-like shape. It is commonly served with roast beef as part of a classic Sunday roast. Its origin traces back to cooks in northern England who used the batter to make a filling, affordable dish that paired well with meat drippings.

M Wilston Sebastopol, California

Gareth did an excellent job on our project. Customer service was great, very communicative and professional. Highly recommend.

Melanie P. Forestville, California

Gareth is amazing. I knew he would be very professional from the moment he put protective covers on his shoes before stepping inside my apartment. I had backed up my kitchen sink, and he worked calmly and methodically to assess the problem and find the solution. It ended up requiring a full hour, but he got it taken care of—all with a great attitude and kindness. He worked very clean the whole way through and returned my kitchen to a perfectly clean status. I can't recommend these guys highly enough!!

Mark B. Healdsburg, California

I have an older house and knew my sewer main was a problem as I received an estimate a year ago for $18k to replace it. Gareth gave me a second opinion that would cost less than $3k. I agreed, and he was back out a few days later and completed the repair perfectly. Not only that, he was clear in communicating what was going on, different solution options, and what to expect. Top notch service and he'll be getting all my plumbing business from now on.

Scott J. Bodega, California
