Are you a plumber who likes solving problems, not just swapping taps? We're hiring a Plumber to join our flood and fire restoration team in Brentford.
About Disaster Care Capital
We're a fire and flood restoration company with over 15 years' trading, based in Brentford and covering London and the M25. We're IICRC certified, BDMA members, and approved by major UK insurers. When a property floods, we're who the insurer sends.
The role
You'll be doing hands-on plumbing — leaks, burst pipes, drainage, installations and repairs — on homes and commercial properties that are recovering from water or fire damage. Alongside the plumbing, you'll learn the restoration side: leak detection and drying.
- Carrying out plumbing installations, repairs, and maintenance across pipes, fixtures, and drainage systems.
- Tracing and diagnosing the source of leaks using the right detection methods for the job.
- Responding to emergency callouts for leaks, burst pipes, and flooding.
- Supporting full property restoration: water mitigation, drying, dehumidification, mould remediation, fire damage cleaning, strip-outs, and reinstatement prep.
- Documenting each job with clear photos, notes, and moisture readings via a company tablet or phone.
- Liaising professionally with homeowners, tenants, insurers, and loss adjusters.
- Taking part in ongoing training to grow your skills and certifications.
