This week we spent 5 minutes getting to know Threesixty Services, a fantastic Plumbing business on Zetland Road....
How long has
your business been trading on Gloucester Road?
Been on Zetland Road since 2012
What made
you choose Gloucester Road for opening your business?
Busy, interesting, lively, good range of
other businesses inc those in our sector of household maintenance and products,
good area of customers with desire to improve their properties and a general
green ethos, plus plenty of landlords properties. Great profile exposure for
our brand, right on the lights at Zetland Road because its always busy.
What have
been the highlights for you since opening your business?
Our
launch was fun, having customers just pop in because they’ve seen us on the
street, seen our vans or our ad in the local magazines and decide to pop in. We
even had a visitor from north oxfordshire to see the Ecosoft water conditioner.
Our
location makes us attractive as an employer.
Getting
to know the other traders on Zetland road in particular and supporting each
other in small ways. And getting to know lots of other traders through being
active on the BID board.
What kinds
of products/services does your business offer?
We provide high quality solutions, with good
customer service, for all the domestic and light commercial plumbing and
heating needs.
We specialise in delivering great designs and
smooth installation of fantastic bathrooms, wet rooms, bedroom/cupboard to
shower/toilet conversions. And of course all the standard maintenance and
repair services you’d expect of a good plumber or heating engineer. We can
source and supply all the parts that the customer wants or simply install the
items that they’ve purchased themselves.
We instruct Gas Safe engineers to resolve quickly
and cost effectively any problems with boilers and heating or hot water systems
and we offer competitive price for heating system power flushes.
Is there
anything your business does that people might not be aware of?
We are redesigning our showroom as part of
Bristol’s Green Capital year to demonstrate and highlight the range of products
that are available to every household to help them save money, save water and
save energy. We want people to be able to visit and see and touch for
themselves the options and have advice as to what will be the best solution for
their situation.
The centrepiece of these products is the Ecosoft Water
Conditioner which is new into the UK but making great progress at asserting
itself as the leading solution to hard water/limescale problems which of course
we have a lot of in Bristol.
