Retrain as an PlumbLocal plumber and
beat the credit crunch!
 

Essential maintenance simply can’t be avoided, pipes burst and drains still block regardless of the economic climate. With its woefull reputation for reliability and service and with only 2,000 new plumbers replacing the 5,000 that retire each year, the time to make that career change and become a professional, customer focused plumber is now! 

PlumbLocal, ElecLocal, GasLocal, TileLocal and DecorateLocal are part of Local Services a network of independently owned franchised businesses offering consistantly reliable trade services to business and the home.

Local Services has established itself as the UK’s leading provider of fast response and planned building maintenance. Our combination of established, trusted brands and national infrastructure make us the benchmark for the industry.

Whilst each business develops it's own local commercial and domestic customer base they also operate together to form a national planned and reactive contractor. National blue chip companies with sites across the UK choose us over other suppliers because of the convenience of having a single contact for all building maintenance. They also have the security and assurance that our fully branded service offers. Franchisees benefit from the opportunity to offer a regular service to some of the largest companies in the UK as well as a solid reputation with local domestic customers.

PlumbLocal offers a complete one stop service to cater for all the plumbing requirements of the domestic, commercial and insurance plumbing and drainage market. From 24 hour emergency response to planned maintenance and new installations, professional qualified PlumbLocal franchisees can be relied upon to attend every appointment in a timely manner equipped with the correct tools and materials to get the job done.

If you are a practical, 'hands on' person PlumbLocal is offering the chance to retrain and build yourself a successful and rewarding new business.  
Like many of our existing franchisees, as your business develops we will help you to expand in to a multi-van operation although you are still free to remain as a single van operation should you choose.

It's not only the re-training, advertising and branding we take care of - As a part of LocalServices, PlumbLocal have contracts with some of the UK's largest blue chip companies so we make sure you keep busy! 

Our wide portfolio of blue chip corporate clients provide a large amount of regular planned and reactive maintenance works which in many cases has enabled franchisees to become multi van operations within a few months of launch.

  • British Gas

  • William Hill

  • Scottish & Newcastle breweries

  • Laura Ashley

  • Scottish & Southern Energy

  • Taylor Woodrow
