About ARA Services

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 Thurrock, one number to call.
Each trade has its own Thurrock page with what is covered, what to expect and the questions we get asked most.

Five-star Google reviews from homes and let properties across London.
Abdul fixed my boiler quickly and explained everything clearly. Turned up on time, there was no messing about and the price was fair. Really helpful Would definitely recommend if you're in Forest Gate.
Luisa Stone
Mr Abdul is a very knowledgeable and efficient engineer. He spotted the gas leakage very quickly. He came back the next day on time with a colleague and together they worked on replacing the damaged pipe. And made sure everything was working perfectly before they left. Job well done and we're very satisfied.
