About Us

We are a London-based plumbing and heating company specialising in reactive and planned maintenance in occupied residential properties.

We work closely with homeowners, landlords and managing agents and are known for:

• Clear communication
  
• Proper diagnosis

Requirements

• NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Plumbing / Heating
  
• ACS domestic gas qualifications (engineer will be registered under company Gas Safe)
  
• Minimum 5 years’ reactive maintenance experience
  
• Willing to undergo DBS check
  
• Full UK driving licence

• You rush jobs or cut corners
  
• Your experience is mainly installations with limited maintenance exposure
  
• You are looking for short-term work
