Our Work
We know how to turn your requirements into reality. Have a look at our recent work and gauge our quality for yourself.



Keep clear and call now.
Different streets.
Different access.
Our response questions adapt to converted houses, managed flats, period homes and busy commercial frontages.
Brockley
Brockley's housing stock is dominated by Victorian terraces, split conversions and conservation-area properties around the Brockley and Hilly Fields conservation zones. We're used to working around original cornicing, sash windows and shared freeholds — so when a pipe bursts in a converted flat or a ceiling comes down after a leak from upstairs, we know how to isolate the damage without wrecking period finishes, and how to coordinate access with other leaseholders when needed.
Catford
Catford is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war flats, and busy commercial frontages along Catford Broadway and Rushey Green. Our jobs here range from burst kitchen pipes in family terraces to shutter and shopfront damage on commercial units — we carry the tools and trade contacts to make both domestic and commercial premises safe quickly.
Lewisham · Hither Green · Ladywell
This is our home patch. It covers everything from converted Victorian houses in Ladywell and Hither Green to modern managed apartment blocks near Lewisham town centre. We regularly deal with managing agents and building management companies here, so we're comfortable following building-specific access procedures, reporting to a facilities team, and working alongside other contractors already on site.
Forest Hill
Forest Hill sits on a hill (literally), which means a wide mix of roof pitches, older slate roofs, retaining walls and gardens on slopes. Storm damage and roof leaks are more common here than in flatter areas, and we've built our roof and structural response around exactly this kind of property — steep access, older roof coverings, and water finding its way in through valleys and flashings.
Access matters as much as diagnosis.
Leaks in converted or managed buildings can cross property boundaries. We establish source, access and authority early so the response does not stall at the front door.

Discuss a period propertyCommon questions
Do you work directly with insurance companies for make-safe repairs?
Yes. We liaise directly with loss adjusters, structural engineers, and major UK insurance firms throughout the claims journey. We compile comprehensive incident reports, high-resolution damage photographs, structural drying logs, and fully itemized, clear invoices specifically formatted to satisfy insurer standards. While you deal with the property disruption, we handle all technical documentation and administrative back-and-forth to ensure your claim moves forward smoothly.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency builder to arrive?
For major leaks or water ingress: Immediately locate and shut off your main stopcock, clear valuable items or furniture away from the affected zone, and place containers under active drips. For electrical hazards: Switch off the main power breaker at the consumer unit if you detect burning smells, buzzing noises, or see water near sockets or fixtures. For structural or roof leaks: Clear the immediate area under damage. Never attempt to climb onto a damaged roof, work at height during severe weather, or enter rooms with sagging ceiling plaster.
What areas do you cover for 24/7 call-outs?
We cover Lewisham (SE13), Brockley (SE4), Catford (SE6), Forest Hill (SE23), Hither Green, Ladywell, and surrounding Southeast London postcodes, alongside dedicated coverage in Battersea, Clapham, and Wandsworth. Keeping our deployment footprint focused allows our mobile engineers to maintain an average 60–90 minute arrival target for emergency calls day or night.
Is there a call-out fee for emergency visits?
We charge a clear, fixed emergency attendance and diagnostic fee. This fee is credited towards the total cost when on-site repair work is approved and scheduled with our team. Pricing transparency is paramount: our dispatch control center provides exact upfront rate estimates based on the required trade (plumbing, electrical, roofing) and time of call-out before any unit is dispatched.
How quickly can you respond to an urgent call-out?
Our standard arrival window is 60–90 minutes from your initial phone call for critical emergencies within primary coverage postcodes. Complex incidents requiring multi-trade coordination, specialist lifting gear, or industrial drying units may require additional preparation, but our dispatch manager always keeps you updated with real-time ETA tracking.
Are your emergency tradespeople certified and fully insured?
Absolutely. Every engineer, electrician, and builder on our rapid-response team is fully background-checked, vetted, and qualified to UK trade standards (including NICEIC for electrical and Gas Safe where applicable). We hold full public liability insurance cover up to £5M, ensuring complete peace of mind during emergency structural or mechanical works.
What counts as a "make-safe" emergency repair?
A make-safe repair is an immediate intervention designed to stop ongoing damage, protect structural integrity, and ensure the safety of occupants. This includes temporary roof tarping, isolation of dangerous electrical circuits, capping burst water mains, shoring up unstable masonry, or securing broken entry points. Once the property is stable and safe, we provide a full proposal for permanent restoration.
What happens if the emergency occurs outside normal working hours or on bank holidays?
Our emergency response desk and mobile units operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year — including weekends and bank holidays. We maintain active emergency shifts throughout London to ensure that severe leaks, power failures, or roof collapses receive immediate, professional attention regardless of when they occur.
