Plumbing Engineer – West London
We are looking for an experienced Plumbing Engineer to join our growing team, with a strong focus on reactive plumbing, fault finding, repairs, maintenance and remedial works.
This role is primarily focused on plumbing. We are looking for engineers who are confident dealing with a wide range of plumbing issues in residential and commercial properties and who can diagnose problems, complete repairs and recommend further remedial works where required.
Drainage experience is an advantage, but strong plumbing ability is the priority.
The Role
As a Plumbing Engineer, you will attend confirmed residential and commercial bookings across West London and the wider M25 area.
You will be expected to work independently, diagnose faults, source the correct parts and complete repairs wherever possible on the first visit.
Your day-to-day work will include:
- Diagnosing and repairing water leaks and plumbing faults
- Repairing and replacing toilets, cisterns, flush valves and flush mechanisms
- Repairing and replacing taps, mixers, shower valves and shower components
- Repairing and replacing sinks, basins and other sanitaryware
- Installing, repairing and altering hot and cold-water pipework
- Repairing burst pipes and leaking pipework
- Identifying and repairing water pressure and flow issues
- Replacing faulty isolation valves, stop taps and plumbing fittings
- Installing and replacing pumps
- Connecting and installing washing machines and dishwashers
- Carrying out plumbing repairs to kitchens and bathrooms
- Fault finding on domestic plumbing systems
- Carrying out planned and reactive plumbing maintenance
- Identifying the cause of leaks, failures and plumbing defects
- Recommending appropriate remedial works
- Sourcing parts and materials and completing repairs on site
- Providing clear scopes of work and quotations for additional works
There will also be some drainage-related work, including:
- Clearing blocked toilets, sinks, baths and showers
- Clearing blockages in soil and waste pipes
- Drain jetting
- CCTV drainage surveys
- Drain mapping
- Drain repairs, patch repairs and lining
However, the majority of the role will be focused on plumbing, so we are particularly interested in experienced plumbers who are confident dealing with reactive plumbing work.

About Us
We have been one of London's largest property maintenance companies for more than 15 years.
We complete thousands of jobs every month for residential property owners and work with several well-known commercial clients across a wide range of sectors.
We specialise in 24/7 reactive and remedial property maintenance, providing our engineers with a consistent flow of confirmed bookings.
Our engineers are trusted to take ownership of their jobs, from diagnosing the problem and sourcing parts through to completing the repair and quoting for any additional work required.
About You
We are looking for an experienced plumber, ideally with a minimum of 5 years' plumbing experience.
You will have strong practical knowledge of plumbing systems and be confident diagnosing and repairing a wide range of faults.
You should be experienced in:
- Domestic plumbing
- Commercial plumbing
- Hot and cold-water systems
- Pipework and fittings
- Sanitaryware
- Toilets and cisterns
- Taps and valves
- Showers
- Pumps
- Kitchen and bathroom plumbing

You'll be expected to:
- Clearly explain plumbing faults to customers
- Explain the work required and the proposed solution
- Complete repairs professionally and efficiently

- Produce clear scopes of work
- Provide accurate quotations

You'll also have access to an office-based Technical Manager who can provide advice and support on more complex plumbing issues and arrange additional resources where required.
Working Area & Availability
We aim to provide engineers with bookings in their local area wherever possible. Due to our continued expansion, we will keep you as close to home as we can.
You must, however, be prepared to travel throughout London and the wider M25 area when required.
