Job Description
Not all plumbing jobs are the same.

If you're the type of plumber who enjoys fault finding, solving problems, meeting different customers every day and taking pride in leaving a property better than you found it, we'd like to hear from you.

Masterfix is one of London's leading property maintenance companies, looking after some of the capital's most prestigious residential developments, private homes, managing agents and commercial clients. Our engineers are trusted to work in high-end apartments, luxury homes and landmark buildings where professionalism and technical ability matter just as much as your plumbing skills.

We're looking for an experienced Reactive Maintenance Plumber to join our growing team.

This isn't a new-build installation role. Every day is different. One morning you could be tracing a concealed leak in a penthouse apartment, followed by repairing a booster pump, replacing a faulty shower valve or restoring hot water for a family who need you there quickly. If you enjoy variety, technical challenges and working independently, you'll thrive here.

We're looking for someone with a minimum of 10 years' plumbing experience who can confidently diagnose faults, communicate with customers and complete work to an exceptionally high standard without needing constant supervision.

You'll become part of our emergency call-out team, taking part in a 1-in-3 out-of-hours rota. In return, you'll join a company that genuinely values its engineers, keeps you busy throughout the year and provides the support you need to deliver outstanding service.

You'll need extensive experience in reactive plumbing maintenance, excellent fault-finding ability, strong customer service skills and the confidence to work across a wide variety of domestic and commercial plumbing systems. Experience with unvented cylinders, boosted water systems, pumps, valves and communal heating systems would be highly advantageous.

We offer opportunities on both a self-employed and PAYE basis, giving you the flexibility to choose the arrangement that best suits you. Whichever route you choose, you'll be joining a business with an excellent reputation, a steady pipeline of work and a supportive operations team that understands what it takes to keep engineers productive.

At Masterfix, we don't just fix properties—we build long-term relationships with our clients through exceptional service, professionalism and technical excellence. That's why we're looking for engineers who genuinely care about the quality of their work and the experience they leave behind.

If you're an experienced maintenance plumber looking for a fresh challenge with one of London's most respected property maintenance companies, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and become part of a company that's raising the standard of property maintenance across London.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about Packing Jobs

Q What is the National Living Wage rate for packing jobs in the United Kingdom from April 2026?
GOV.UK states the National Living Wage for workers aged 21 and over in packing roles is £12.50 per hour from 1 April 2026. Employers must pay this rate for all hours worked including overtime at 1.5 times the hourly rate. Packing operatives under 21 receive £10.00 per hour under the same rules.
Q How many hours can I legally work in a UK packing warehouse job without a visa sponsorship?
GOV.UK confirms standard full-time packing shifts are limited to 48 hours per week on average over 17 weeks unless opted out in writing. Workers receive 5.6 weeks of paid annual leave including bank holidays calculated on actual hours worked. Overtime above 48 hours triggers mandatory rest breaks of 11 consecutive hours daily.
Q What documents do I need to apply for a packing job in the United Kingdom in 2026?
GOV.UK requires a valid passport or biometric residence permit plus a right to work share code for all packing job applicants. Employers must complete a right to work check before the first shift and retain records for two years. No formal education certificates are mandated for entry-level packing positions.
Q Do packing jobs in the UK require a Skilled Worker visa for non-UK residents in 2026?
GOV.UK specifies that packing operative roles fall below the Skilled Worker visa threshold and cannot be sponsored unless the salary reaches £38,700 or the going rate for the SOC code. Most warehouse packing positions are filled by UK or settled workers only. Seasonal worker visas do not cover permanent packing contracts.
