Able Group

Able Group was founded in 1993 as an emergency maintenance service and originally traded under the name Able Glaze. It initially provided coverage to London and Essex, becoming nationwide in 1998, and moved to a larger premise in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, in 2000. The company added locksmiths, plumbing, drainage, electrics, gas and heating work, and pest control to its services.

Its work is approved by major insurance companies, and its regular customers include several county councils, government offices, and facilities management companies. Its engineers are fully certified. It provides maintenance and installation services, including glazing, locks, plumbing, drains, gas and heating, electrics, and pest control, and operates in and around Edinburgh.
