Job description

This is a maintenance-focused role working in occupied residential properties. We are not a volume installation company. Jobs are scheduled realistically and carried out properly.

We are looking for someone with strong diagnostic ability who can assess systems logically and diagnose faults without guesswork.

Minimum Experience Requirement (Important)

To be considered, you must have:

• At least 5 years’ experience in reactive domestic plumbing and heating maintenance
• Strong diagnostic experience in occupied residential properties
• Verifiable references

If you do not meet this requirement, please do not apply.

The Role

You will work independently across London carrying out a wide range of reactive and planned maintenance works in occupied homes and tenanted properties.

Plumbing Works

• Diagnosing and repairing leaking taps, mixers and cartridges
• Shower fault-finding (thermostatic faults, low pressure, temperature issues)
• Toilet repairs (flush valves, inlet valves, syphons, ball valves)
• Investigating visible and concealed leaks
• Pipework alterations and remedial upgrades
• Hot and cold water pressure and flow issues
• Waste pipe blockages to basins, showers, baths and kitchens

Heating Works

• Boiler diagnostics, servicing and repairs
• Domestic gas appliance work
• Zone valves, pumps, expansion vessels and heating controls
• Unvented and vented cylinders
• System pressure and water quality issues

Light installation work may be required, but this is primarily a maintenance and fault-finding role.

What We Offer

• £42,000 – £48,000 salary (depending on experience)
• Company pension
• Company van (fuel included for work use)
• Mobile phone provided
• Realistic job scheduling — time to diagnose properly
• Well-structured processes and digital job management systems
• Long-term, maintenance-focused client base
• Opportunity to progress within a structured and well-run company

About Aren Heating & Plumbing

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
• Clean, professional workmanship
• Doing jobs correctly rather than rushing

Our focus is long-term reliability and strong client relationships — not high-volume installations.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• Strong logical diagnostic ability
• Clean and tidy workmanship in occupied homes
• Calm, confident communication with customers and managing agents
• Clear, accurate job reporting after each visit
• Safe working practices and good understanding of health & safety
• Reliable, organised and able to work independently
• A long-term mindset with an interest in growing with the business

This role would suit an experienced engineer who is tired of rushed installations and unrealistic job stacking and wants to focus on proper maintenance work done to a high standard.

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
• Own hand tools

This Role Is Not for You If

• You rely on trial-and-error instead of diagnosis
• You rush jobs or cut corners
• Your experience is mainly installations with limited maintenance exposure
