Plumber
Self-employed · London and the South East
Leaks, bathrooms and the calls that cannot wait until Monday.
Who you would be working with
Simpled Services is a property maintenance and refurbishment company. We work for housing associations, letting agents, landlords and private clients, mostly in London and the South East, and on jobs across the rest of the UK.
More than 8,500 jobs have gone through us. Mould and damp, leaks, plumbing, painting, kitchens and bathrooms, full refurbishments, end of tenancy work. Some of it is a two hour repair. Some of it runs for months.
The work is run inside Plan@Job, our own platform. Your jobs, the address, the scope, your photos, your reports and your invoice all sit in one place, so nobody is chasing anybody through WhatsApp for a picture of a finished wall.
The role
Leaks are the most urgent work we take. A leak into a flat below turns into a damp job, a decorating job and an unhappy client, so the plumber is the person who stops all three.
Alongside that there is bathroom work, tap and valve replacements, and the plumbing side of kitchen and refurbishment jobs.
What the work is
- Find the actual cause of a leak, not just the wet patch.
- Make the repair safe and watertight, and say plainly what still needs doing.
- Work on bathroom installations and the plumbing first fix and second fix on refurbishments.
- Photograph the pipework before you close anything up.
What we need from you
- Time-served plumbing experience and your own tools.
- Public liability insurance, or willing to get it before your first job.
- The right to work in the UK, and registered as self-employed (CIS where the work is construction).
- Your own tools and your own transport.
- A phone you can take photos on. Every job is signed off with pictures.
The pay
Paid per job. The price is agreed with you before the work starts, and it does not change afterwards.
Please do not apply if
- You want a fixed weekly wage. This is self-employed work, paid per job.
- You leave a job at 60 percent and move on. We send the same people back to the same clients.
- Photos and paperwork annoy you. They are how you get paid on time.
