Gas and heating, plumbing, electrical work, landlord certificates and air conditioning are all handled by our own engineers, so one call covers the whole job rather than three contractors and three visits.
Five trades in Chelmsford, one number to call.
Each trade has its own Chelmsford page with what is covered, what to expect and the questions we get asked most.

The housing in Chelmsford, and what it means for the work
Houses, converted flats and new apartments are all covered here. Moulsham, Great Baddow and Writtle have older terraces and interwar semis with original pipework and cylinders, while Beaulieu Park and Chelmer Village bring newer estates and apartment blocks with combi boilers and mechanical ventilation. The older streets are where a cold radiator is usually a balancing or powerflush job rather than a new boiler.

What our customers say
Five-star Google reviews from homes and let properties across London.
Abdul from Ara Services fixed a boiler leak for me and did a great job. He explained the problem clearly, sorted it quickly, and the pricing was very fair for the East Ham area. Reliable, professional, and easily one of the best boiler repair services around here. Would definitely recommend.
Ricky May
We have had excellent experiences with Abdul, who did an emergency boiler repair when our boiler stopped working, and also later replaced our whole boiler and replaced a broken tap. The work was excellent and he is punctual and efficient.
Richard Woods
We were very happy with Ara Services. The plumber fixed our hot water system efficiently. He arrived on time, was very pleasant to interact with, and always answered my texts promptly. Recommended 100%.
Kathy T. Mullen
Great service prompt and efficient. Fitted a new boiler at a very competitive price also took away old boiler and all other waste i would definitely recommend this company.
