Businesses We Use Ourselves
Our recommended trades page covers the people we point customers towards. This one is different — these are the businesses we use to keep our own show on the road.
Running teams across a good deal of the country means vans that need fixing where they stand, occasional parts that stopped being made a decade ago, and a steady stream of work that comes through property investors rather than homeowners. These are the people we call.
Mobile Mechanic Coventry
Our teams live in their vans, and a van off the road is a day of work lost rather than an inconvenience. Mobile Mechanic Coventry come to wherever the vehicle has stopped, which for a fleet that is on site all day is worth considerably more than a cheaper hourly rate at a garage twenty minutes away. Alternators are the fault we see most — the warning light comes on, the battery quietly drains, and by the time anyone notices the van is not going anywhere, so alternator replacement at the roadside saves a recovery charge on top.
Covers: Coventry and Warwickshire
3D Printing Manchester
Older properties throw up parts that stopped being made years ago — a bracket for an obsolete manifold, a cover for a fitting nobody stocks, a spacer to make something sit right in an awkward space. Rather than redesign around it, 3d printing services will produce a one-off in a couple of days. They also handle rapid prototyping for anyone developing a product rather than repairing one.
Covers: Manchester and the North West
LAT Property Investments
A fair share of the properties we heat are investments rather than homes, and the sums work differently when the end point is a yield instead of somewhere to live — underfloor heating in a rental is an EPC decision as much as a comfort one. LAT Property Investments work with investors on acquisition and strategy, including property deal sourcing for buyers who would rather not spend their evenings on portals.

Mobile Mechanic Reading
The same problem further south. Mobile Mechanic Reading cover servicing, diagnostics and repairs at whatever address the vehicle is sitting at. Clutches are the useful one to know about — mobile clutch replacement is one of the larger jobs that can still be done without a ramp, so it is worth getting a quote before committing to a garage booking and a courtesy car.
Covers: Reading and Berkshire
