With a reputation for professionalism, dependability and a high standard of workmanship, Kilkenny Plumbing & Heating (KPH) punches above its weight. A mechanical services contractor based in Thomastown, Co Kilkenny, the business specialises in water services, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning for commercial and institutional clients across Leinster. With a strong track record in complex mechanical installations, KPH delivers solutions that combine energy efficiency and regulatory compliance with minimal disruption. Over the past two years, KPH has successfully completed many significant projects requiring detailed design coordination and complex phased execution to deliver modern solutions. Examples include a new two-storey HSE medical care facility in Kilkenny, heating system upgrade at Saint Brigid’s Primary School and a complete refurbishment of the bedroom block at the Club House Hotel Kilkenny. Working extra hours to get projects over the line, the company invests in continuous development with its engineers and apprentices undertaking training in gas boiler servicing, renewable heating systems, ventilation and water treatment. Apprentices work alongside senior employees on live projects, gaining essential skills and certifications that strengthen both the local workforce and the wider industry.
Gtech Mechanical impressed judges with its strong focus on professional development, innovation and creative problem solving to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient solutions. A team of experienced, skilled and dedicated staff offers expertise across plumbing and heating systems, heat pump and renewable energy installations, exhaust air and ventilation, health and safety compliance, support maintenance, diagnostics and repairs training. Senior staff play an active role in mentoring apprentices and junior staff to support a culture of learning and pipeline of talent throughout its workforce. Consistently delivering projects in technically-demanding environments on time and within budget, Gtech prioritises communication with general contractors, engineers and clients to align expectations with results. Custom solutions and risk management strategies are implemented early in projects, with tracking systems in place for material and labour costs to avoid overspend. Recent projects such as the 153-apartment Elanora Court in Dublin highlight the company’s skill, professionalism and meticulous attention to detail. With the project’s blocks varying in height from three to six storeys, Gtech installed pressure- reducing valves to protect the lower floors from excessive pressure caused by gravity and pump force.
