Clayton McKay, also known as McKay Plumbing & Heating, is a family-owned Plymouth company that's covered plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical work since 1973. Its plumbing license is verified active with the state, and the company is EPA lead-paint and OSHA certified. Recent reviews describe same-day and next-day emergency response for burst pipes, frozen pipes, and failed water heaters, with named technicians like Rob, Adam, Nick, and Andrew diagnosing the problem, explaining the options, and cleaning up after themselves. One customer is renewing a maintenance contract for a third year after a technician caught a covered issue before it became a bigger one. Several reviewers say they've used the company across multiple projects — plumbing, HVAC, and electrical — over the years and call the office staff and communication as reliable as the repair work itself. A few recent reviews describe rougher experiences. One customer called the work good but pricey enough that they'd call other plumbers first next time. A February 2026 review describes being told full payment was required upfront before any work started, with a deposit offered but not accepted, which the reviewer didn't feel comfortable with. A January 2026 review describes a gas burner repair that didn't fix the heat, a two-day wait for a follow-up visit, and a bill with no real explanation. A 2025 review describes a technician disassembling a bathroom faucet before mentioning a new faucet was needed — the customer felt that should have come up before any disassembly. For everyday plumbing, heating, cooling, or electrical work in the Plymouth area, Clayton McKay has a deep bench of named technicians and a long local history behind it — just ask about payment terms and get a full diagnosis before any part of the job starts, especially on jobs that might turn out to need a bigger repair.
I had an emergency water leak from my water tank and a technician was sent out to my own The technician was experienced, professional and friendly he explained what needed to be done and my agreement to the plan
The service was prompt, professional, and complete. Two hours after I called them indicating that I had a leak in my bathroom someone was here. It was somewhat complicated in that the leak was coming from an upstairs bathroom. However, Rob was able to diagnose the issue, especially since it potentially involved, shutting off the water to my entire condominium building. He was able to track the leak to a relatively innocuous problem within my unit, so we did not need to involve the whole building. As of yet I have not received the price, but the promptness and the professionalism displayed makes that a very distant second consideration to using this company
I have have had a very positive experience and now renewing my contract for a third year. The brilliant tech Adam found an issue with my system because he is thorough and doesn't rush through inspections. It was covered under warranty, but I would have had a miserable summer if he hadn't been alert. Adam trained Kim and together they make a great team. In an emergency, the response is immediate! JP fixed a problem today and did a great job!
Nick was timely and very knowledgeable. He trouble-shot our AC unit and listened to our description and ultimately resolved the issue. In addition we decided to take advantage of the annual maintenance program available through the company.
I got a same day appointment which I very much appreciated. Andrew and his assistant were very capable and knowledgeable. They solved my issue with a gas stove very quickly and efficiently. They also checked all the connections for leaks. I highly recommend Clayton McKay plumbing.
