- Plumbing works: carrying out installations, repairs, and maintenance across pipework, fixtures, and drainage systems.
- Emergency response: attending callouts for leaks, burst pipes, and flooding.
- Restoration support: assisting with water mitigation, structural drying, dehumidification, mould remediation, fire damage cleaning, strip-outs, and reinstatement prep.
- Technical reporting: producing clear, professional reports with photos, notes, and moisture readings via a company-issued tablet or phone — to a standard suitable for insurers and loss adjusters.
- Client liaison: communicating professionally with homeowners, tenants, landlords, insurers, and loss adjusters.
