Pimlico Plumbers is a London-based plumbing firm established in 1979.
Pimlico Plumbers was established in 1979 by its current managing director Charlie Mullins (born December 1952), who left school at 15 with no qualifications and began work as a plumber.
The company owns more than 100 plumbing-related number plates, fitted to its fleet of vehicles, such as LO 02 OLD (Loo too old), BOG1, DRA1N, W4TER and others. It gained considerable publicity through its employment of Buster Martin, who claimed to be Britain’s oldest worker, cleaning vans part-time until his death in 2011. The firm’s boss presented BBC Three show Britain’s Best Young Plumber and has appeared on Secret Millionaire.
The company promotes itself as providing a high-quality service, charging £80–200/hour depending on the time of day and service performed.
