The housing in Basildon, and what it means for the work
Houses, maisonettes, estate flats and new apartments are all part of the week here. Laindon, Pitsea and Vange have post-war estates with piecemeal boiler swaps and fuse boards of every vintage, while the town centre and Langdon Hills add later houses and newer blocks with combi boilers and communal heating in some buildings.

Anoushka Shaw
My boiler went wrong, Abdul and his team came and fitted a new one they worked without taking a break, cleaned up when they were finished, they even covered my floors to stop any damage. A great experience, these guys were also nice and polite, showed how the new boiler work and I got all the relevant paper work at the end. Gas safe and 10year warranty thanks Abdul.
Alison Louis
I recently had my kitchen sink repaired, and I couldn't be happier with the service! The plumber was extremely professional, arrived on time, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work was outstanding, and they made sure everything was clean and tidy before leaving. I highly recommend their services and will definitely use them again in the future
Murad
