Why Mike

Hi, I'm Mike.

Before going self-employed, I worked as a response technician at the local water board. I'm City & Guilds qualified, so leaks, taps, cisterns, toilets and bathrooms are all in a day's work, and I'm F-Gas accredited for air conditioning too.

I live and work locally, and I treat every home like it's my neighbour's, because it usually is. If I'm on a job when you call, I'll get back to you as soon as I'm off the tools.
