Founder and lead engineer
Dan started Fettle in 2014 with one van and a list of neighbours’ jobs. He still prices most of the bigger work himself and takes the Monday visits, mainly because he likes them.
2014
City & Guilds carpentry, NVQ Level 3 plumbing
Old houses, and why the bathroom floor slopes
Plumbing and heating
Priya joined from a boiler manufacturer’s service team and runs the heating side. If your boiler is losing pressure, she has probably seen that exact model do it before.
2017
Gas Safe registered, unvented hot water, heat pump installer
Getting more heat out of the radiators you’ve got
Electrician
Marcus is the one we send when nobody else can find the fault. He labels every board he works on and writes the certificate before he packs the van.
2019
Approved electrician, 18th Edition, inspection and testing
Why the lights flicker when the kettle’s on
Carpentry and repairs
Helen trained as a joiner restoring sash windows in Harrogate. She’d rather ease, splice and repaint an old door than replace it, and usually can.
2020
Joiner, sash window restoration
Saving original doors and windows
And Lena, who answers the phone, knows every postcode and will tell you honestly when the earliest slot is.

We hire slowly and keep people. Most of the team has been here more than four years.
Everyone on the van is on our payroll, so the person who quotes is the person who answers for it.
Gas Safe for gas, approved electricians for electrics. Nobody works outside their ticket.
DBS checked, carrying ID, and covered by our public liability insurance in your home.
Four days on the vans with Priya, one day at Leeds College of Building, paid from the first week.
