1st Action – One of the Leading Plumbing Firms in London
1st Action was established in 1995 by two Plumbing and Heating engineers in London.
At the time they discovered a gap in the market for a local, reliable Maintenance Company who will always answer the phone when you need them. Unfortunately it is normally in an emergency situation and these invariably occur – Evenings – Weekends – or Middle of the Night on a Sunday!
By attending to these emergencies quickly, carrying out the work professionally and making a reasonable charge for these services 1st Action soon became the Number One in the field!
One of London’s Leading Plumbing Firms
The company has grown since those early days to become one of the leading Plumbers in London with divisions handling Boiler Repairs and Boiler swaps along with new boiler installations.
Drainage Engineers
The company has a substantial drainage division with Drainage Engineers carrying the latest equipment to jet blocked drains and CCTVcamera equipment to examine drains and provide owners with a detailed survey along with a video of their drainage systems.
Electricians
