At Warma Heating and Plumbing, we pride ourselves on the expertise and experience of our team. Our principal plumbers, Nathanial and Gary O’Toole, bring a wealth of knowledge, skill, and dedication to every project they undertake. With years of hands-on experience in the plumbing, heating, and construction industries, they ensure that each job is carried out to the highest standard, combining technical proficiency with a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. Below are their profiles, highlighting the extensive qualifications and experience they bring to our company.
Nathanial’s educational background includes a Master of Arts degree in Japanese from the University of Edinburgh. Although he has worked in various industries since graduating, he found his true calling in plumbing and heating—a field that runs deep in his family. His passion for engineering and the technical aspects of plumbing and gas installations is evident in his work.
Nathanial is dedicated to providing top-quality service and ensuring the safety and efficiency of every project he undertakes. His expertise is complemented by a strong commitment to continuous learning and staying up to date with the latest industry standards.

At the age of 21, Gary ventured into self-employment as a gas engineer, specialising in the installation of heating systems, bathrooms, and various types of plumbing work, including lead roofing—an expertise that has since become a niche trade.
In 1985, Gary’s career took a significant turn when he was offered a role by a groundworks company to oversee and install complex drainage systems for large housing developments. His work included everything from standard domestic drainage to public sewers up to 1.2 metres in diameter. Over the next eight years, he managed sites with up to 80 houses, becoming the site manager for the company’s largest projects.
Following his success in groundworks, Gary established his own construction business, building extensions and housing projects for various clients. He later shifted focus to buying and refurbishing properties for resale or investment. In the early 2000s, Gary saw an opportunity to apply his skills in the commercial sector, beginning with a complete fit-out of his children’s school toilets. This experience led him to specialise in fitting out commercial washrooms for pubs, clubs, schools, and office buildings.
Today, Gary works alongside his son, sharing his wealth of knowledge and experience. His passion for the trade remains as strong as ever, and he continues to contribute his expertise to each project with the same dedication and enthusiasm that has defined his long and successful career.
My role at Warma Heating and Plumbing is to schedule call-outs and general admin tasks as and when needed.
My background in an administrative work began at the Civil Service when I was eighteen. I stayed in this role for five years and developed skills such as communicating between departments, navigating governmental procedures and a keen work ethic.
I then moved to a small fashion label where I further developed my abilities to communicate effectively in a business environment, followed by a period at a small interior design firm before starting our family.
I have supported my husband in an administrative and supportive capacity throughout our career as small business owners with Oakleaf Washrooms. I am now very pleased to be involved with my husband and son’s plumbing and heating venture.
