Castleford plumber wins title of 'Best Plumber in Yorkshire' at prestigious awards
A Castleford-based plumber has been announced as the winner of the 2026 Plumber Awards’ Yorkshire and Humber regional category.
The inaugural awards celebrate the best plumbers in the UK, who go above and beyond for their customers and deliver fantastic work.
Luke Thomson, from Castleford, took home first place, receiving the award in recognition of his technical skill and dedication to delivering practical, reliable plumbing systems that make a real difference to his customers.
Luke’s winning entry detailed two standout projects: one involving replacing an outdated system to restore a hot water supply, and the other fixing a long-standing plumbing fault which had caused a persistent smell for over a year at a customer’s property.
Both projects highlighted his ability to tackle the challenges he faces, whilst leaving homes safe and fully functioning.
Commenting on his winning project, Luke Thomson said: “These jobs were especially satisfying as I could fix problems the customer had been facing for some time and essentially make their daily lives easier.
"Receiving this award is a real honour, and I’m proud to be putting Yorkshire’s plumbing talent on the map!”
The free-to-enter awards celebrate the best plumbers in the UK and give tradespeople the chance to be recognised and win prizes.
As a regional winner, Luke will now go head-to-head with 11 other winners from across the UK for the national title of Best Plumber in the UK, with the final decided by public vote and announced on June 24, at a special ceremony in Birmingham.
