About ARA Services
One contractor for five trades across Kent
We work throughout Kent — Dartford, Gravesend, Northfleet, Swanley, Longfield, Sevenoaks, Rochester and Maidstone. 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 Kent, one number to call.
Each trade has its own Kent page with what is covered, what to expect and the questions we get asked most.

The housing in Kent, and what it means for the work
Houses, bungalows, converted flats and small commercial premises are all part of the booked work here. Gravesend, Rochester and the older streets of Dartford have Victorian and interwar stock with original pipe runs and boilers in kitchens or outhouses, while newer flats around Dartford and Maidstone bring combi boilers, unvented cylinders and access arranged through the building. Visits are booked rather than offered as same-day London cover.

What our customers say
Five-star Google reviews from homes and let properties across London.
One of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of dealing with. Very polite and responsive. Most importantly, thoroughly professional and no shortcuts. All the best and I am sure I will use his services again.

Rang on a Sunday morning and he was round by 10am and sorted out our issue in under ten minutes! Also spent some time looking at our old boiler and answering questions which was much appreciated. Excellent service and would highly recommend.
Stanley Dunthorne
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%.
