TRADING FOR OVER 50 YEARS WATKINS IS ONE OF THE LEADING PROVIDERS OF MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES IN THE SOUTH EAST OF ENGLAND.

Clifford Watkins first established his plumbing business in 1962 primarily working for house builders in Kent. He was soon joined by his son Wyn who worked for him as an installer. Wyn took over the reins of the business in the 1970s. At that time, Watkins employed just a handful of men, with the office based in Wyn’s lounge.

Under Wyn’s astute leadership, the company grew and began to take on larger contracts for national house builders. The

expansion continued throughout the 1980s and by 1989 the company was able to move to new, purpose built premises in Ramsgate, Kent.

In 2010, we were asked by our clients to carry out Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) Contracts on developments installed by Watkins, mainly large energy centre installations serving large blocks of dwellings. We have since expanded this section of the business to include all commercial

re-developments and now have a dedicated team dealing with all maintenance and aftercare requirements for our clients. Over recent years Watkins has pre-empted our customer’s needs and diversified into complimenting disciplines and is now able to offer specialist services for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Renewable installations as well as service and maintenance contracts. We are accredited with all the relevant governing bodies applicable to our services such as Gas Safe, NICEIC, (BE&S) & MCS and have the capabilities to assist with advise, design and value engineering.

Now in 2015 Watkins has an annual turnover of in excess of £30M. Our portfolio spans a wide range of industry sectors, and includes leading contractors working on residential, commercial, and industrial developments, plus healthcare and educational establishments, and PPM programs. Geographically we cover all of London and most of Southern England including Kent, Surrey, Sussex and Essex.

The Company is managed by an experienced board of four directors and is still owned by the Watkins family.
