Twenty-two years on the tools. Still takes the Monday visits himself.
Done properly,first visit.
Plumbing, heating, electrics and repairs across Leeds. Two‑hour arrival windows, the price agreed first and a 12‑month guarantee.
Fettle is a small team of qualified tradespeople looking after homes across Leeds, from a dripping tap to a new consumer unit.
One call, most trades
Plumbing, heating, electrics and carpentry under one roof, so you're not chasing three firms.
The price first
A guide on the phone, a fixed quote for anything bigger, and no call-out fee.
Faces you'll know
The same few people every time. They'll remember where your stopcock is.
On the van, in your house.
Nine people, six vans and a workshop off Wharf Street. Most of Leeds is under forty minutes away.
Four ways we look after a house
One team, one rate card and one guarantee, whatever the job. Most people start with a repair visit.
- Half or full days, booked in two-hour windows
Repairs and odd jobs
From £62, first hourSticking doors, loose banisters, shelves, sealant, the list on the fridge. One skilled pair of hands, working through it properly.

How a visit works
Every job runs the same way, so you know who's coming, when, and what it costs.
- Before
Pick a two-hour window
Book online or by phone. Tell us what's wrong, send a photo if you can, and we confirm a price guide and who's coming.
- On the way
A text before we arrive
Your engineer messages thirty minutes out, arrives with shoe covers and dust sheets, and checks the job with you before starting.
- On the day
Finished in one go
Common parts live on the van, so most jobs are done on the day. If a part has to be ordered, the second trip is on us.
- After
Signed off and guaranteed
Photos of the finished work, the invoice and your 12-month guarantee, emailed before we're back at the van.
Every job ends with the same three checks. Before we leave, not after you call.
Tested
Run, measured, certified
Water run for ten minutes, circuits tested, gas joints checked. Certificates where the work needs one.
Tidied
Sheets up, floor hoovered
Old parts taken away and recycled. Nothing left in your bin or on your drive.
Recorded
Before and after photos
Emailed with your invoice and kept on file, so the next engineer knows what's behind the panel.

Customers, in their words
Three houses, three very different jobs. Two of them are on the care plan now.
“We bought a 1904 terrace with a list of forty small jobs. Helen and Dan worked through it in three days and left it cleaner than they found it.”
“Price on the phone, a two-hour window, and Priya was here in the first half hour of it. The new tap took forty minutes.”
“They service the boiler every September and ring me before the cold comes in. I haven't had to chase anyone in three winters.”
Before we visit
No. You pay labour from the time we arrive: the first hour, then half hours after that, plus parts at the price on the receipt.
Yes. Small jobs get a price guide on the phone, confirmed with you before any work starts. Anything over half a day gets a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Usually within three working days. Leaks, no heating and no power are seen the same day for care plan customers and the next morning for everyone else.
Everywhere inside the Leeds ring road, plus Horsforth, Pudsey, Rothwell and Garforth. If you're just outside, ask: we often can.
We're fully insured, every job carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee, and parts keep their manufacturer warranty. Gas and electrical work comes with its certificate.
For the first visit, yes. After that plenty of customers leave a key in a coded lockbox and get the photos and invoice by email.
By card on the day through a payment link. Landlords and letting agents can pay by invoice within 14 days.
Tell us what needs doing.
We'll come back with a price guide and a two-hour window, usually the same working day.
