The Plumber Behind Flow Right
Paul Antony Godden
MCIPHE RP — Owner, Flow Right Plumbing
My name is Paul Antony Godden and I'm the owner and founder of Flow Right Plumbing, a domestic plumbing business based in Ashford, Kent.
I have over 25 years of hands-on plumbing experience specialising almost exclusively in domestic repair work. Every repair is personally carried out by me. I don't operate a call centre, I don't subcontract work, and when customers book Flow Right Plumbing, I'm the plumber who arrives.

Day-to-Day Work
Areas of Expertise
I specialise in domestic repair work rather than large construction projects. That means I spend virtually every working day diagnosing faults inside real homes rather than working on new-build sites. This experience allows me to recognise common faults quickly, explain them clearly, and recommend repairs that are appropriate for each customer's situation.
- Toilet repairs and internal replacements
- Tap repairs and replacements
- Shower repairs and thermostatic valves
- Leak detection and diagnosis
- Radiator valves and radiator replacements
- Water softeners
- Stopcocks
- Water storage cylinders
- Small plumbing installations
- General domestic plumbing fault-finding
Service Area
Where I Work
Flow Right Plumbing is based in Ashford, Kent and generally covers Ashford and the surrounding villages within approximately a 10–15 mile radius.
My Approach
I believe customers deserve honest advice, fixed prices, no hidden extras, repairs carried out properly the first time, and clear explanations before any work begins.
When you book Flow Right Plumbing, you know exactly who is arriving — and you know the price before any work starts.
Content Transparency
About This Website
Over the years I've completed thousands of repairs in customers' homes throughout Ashford and the surrounding villages. Those real jobs form the basis of the advice throughout this website.
Rather than publishing generic plumbing articles written by copywriters or AI, I explain the faults I genuinely encounter every week, the causes I regularly find, the repair options available, and the situations where replacement is actually the better long-term solution.
Where AI is used, it is used purely as a writing assistant to help organise and present my own experience more clearly. Technical content is reviewed and approved by me before publication.
Every article on this website is either written or personally reviewed by me. The advice is based on genuine domestic plumbing repairs carried out throughout Ashford and the surrounding villages, supported by professional qualifications, ongoing industry membership and more than two decades of practical experience.
