For over 20 years I have been working in the plumbing maintenance trade I am self employed and am extremely effective in my own time management
I also enjoy complete bathroom refurbs including tiling or cladding
A Preston based property agency (Jones Cameron who manage over 400 properties) have trusted me with their plumbing requirements in flats, HMOs and family homes
Their software generates jobsheets with priority gradings, contact numbers and a description of the problem
As these are actioned I complete the information including findings, costings and recommendations
