Trades in Shepherd's Bush.

In Shepherd's Bush the streetscape means extended family houses and terraces, from the terraces around the Green to the new apartments beside Westfield. Family houses don't send one trade's worth of work at a time: the heating strains, the drains block, the garden grows and the to-do list breeds. Having one local firm across all seven trades means one number solves the week's problems instead of four.

There's also plenty of modern apartment and new-build developments here. Modern developments come with modern systems — pressurised hot water, manifold pipework, plasterboard walls — plus the usual list of developer snags. We work on all of it correctly, without disturbing warranties or the crisp finishes.

Terraces and newer flats mean varied heating and plumbing setups, all of which we know well. From plumbing, heating and electrics to drainage, gardening, carpentry and external cleaning, one local firm covers the lot in Shepherd's Bush — with no call-out fee, card payment on completion and a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
