About ARA Services
One contractor for five trades across Rochester
We work throughout Rochester — Rochester, Strood, Borstal, Delce, Rochester town centre, Troy Town, Frindsbury and Medway City Estate. 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 Rochester, one number to call.
Each trade has its own Rochester page with what is covered, what to expect and the questions we get asked most.

The housing in Rochester, and what it means for the work
Houses, converted flats and a number of newer riverside blocks are all covered here. The town centre, Delce and Borstal have period terraces and conversions with shared pipework and boilers in awkward cupboards, while Strood and Frindsbury add later housing and apartments. Conservation streets in the old town can limit where a flue or an outdoor unit can go, so we check what is permitted before quoting.

Excellent plumbing service! Always punctual, professional, and true to their quote — highly recommended!
Elimelech Halberstam
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
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
