Heating Engineer​/Plumber – PAYE – Reactive Maintenance in Lambeth

Full-Time PAYE Position | £45,000 – £55,000 | Company Van | London-Based

Aren Heating & Plumbing is looking for an experienced Heating Engineer / Plumber to join our London-based team on a full-time PAYE basis.

This is a permanent employed role, not a subcontractor or self-employed position.

We specialise in reactive and planned plumbing and heating maintenance in occupied residential properties. Our work is scheduled realistically, allowing engineers the time to investigate properly, diagnose logically, and complete work to a high standard.

We are looking for someone with strong diagnostic ability who can assess systems properly and identify faults without guesswork.

• At least 5 years’ experience in reactive domestic plumbing and heating maintenance
• Strong diagnostic experience in occupied residential properties
• Current domestic ACS gas qualifications
• Verifiable references

If you do not meet this requirement, please do not apply.

You will work independently across London carrying out a wide range of reactive and planned maintenance works in occupied homes, tenanted properties, and managed residential buildings.

This is primarily a maintenance and fault-finding role. Light installation and remedial works may be required, but we are not looking for an installation-only engineer.

• Diagnosing and repairing leaking taps, mixers and cartridges
• Shower fault-finding, including thermostatic faults, low pressure and temperature issues
• Toilet repairs, including flush valves, inlet valves, syphons and ball valves
• Investigating visible and concealed leaks
• Pipework alterations and remedial upgrades
• Hot and cold water pressure and flow issues
• Waste pipe blockages to basins, showers, baths and kitchens

• Boiler diagnostics, servicing and repairs
• Domestic gas appliance work
• Zone valves, pumps, expansion vessels and heating controls
• Unvented and vented cylinders
• Underfloor heating diagnostics
• System pressure and water quality issues

We are looking for an experienced engineer who takes pride in proper diagnosis, clean workmanship, and good communication.

You should be:

• Strong at logical fault-finding and diagnostics
• Clean, tidy and respectful when working in occupied homes
• Calm and confident when speaking with customers and managing agents
• Able to produce clear, accurate job reports after each visit
• Safe, professional and well organised
• Reliable and able to work independently
• Interested in a long-term PAYE role with a growing company

This role would suit an experienced maintenance engineer who wants to focus on proper maintenance work carried out to a high standard.

• NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Plumbing / Heating
• Current domestic ACS gas qualifications
• Eligible to work under the company Gas Safe registration
• Minimum 5 years’ reactive maintenance experience
• Full UK driving licence
• Own hand tools
• Willing to undergo a DBS check

• Full-time PAYE employment
• £45,000 – £55,000 salary, depending on experience
• 20 days holiday plus public holidays
• Company pension
• Company van
• Fuel included for work use
• Mobile phone provided
• Steady, consistent workload
• Realistic job scheduling with time to diagnose properly
• Well-structured processes and digital job management systems
• Long-term, maintenance-focused client base
• Opportunity to progress within a structured and well-run company

We work closely with homeowners, landlords and managing agents, and we are known for:

• Clean, professional workmanship
• Doing jobs correctly

Our focus is long-term reliability and strong client relationships, not high-volume installations.

• You are looking for subcontractor or self-employed work
• You rely on trial-and-error instead of diagnosis
• You cut corners
• Your experience is mainly installations with limited maintenance exposure
• You are looking for short-term work
