A long-standing UK plumbing company that provided round-the-clock services has officially entered liquidation. Speedy Jet Plumbers Ltd, headquartered in Woodford Green, Essex, has announced a creditors' meeting scheduled for June 22, according to a notice published in The Gazette on June 9.
Details of the creditors' meeting
The meeting will consider a resolution outlining the terms for compensating the liquidators and may also approve expenses related to preparing the statement of affairs and conducting the gathering. Creditors wishing to vote must submit proof of their debt by 4pm on the business day prior to the meeting. Secured creditors are required to lodge a statement with the appointed Insolvency Practitioners, Rikki Burton and Jasmine Baxter, or Anderson Brooks Insolvency Practitioners Limited.
Company background
According to its profile on Nextdoor, Speedy Jet Plumbers had been serving customers since 1991, offering a variety of plumbing and heating services. The company emphasized that its engineers aimed to resolve issues on the first visit, providing efficient and affordable solutions.
On Google, the firm held a 3.4-star rating. Positive reviews highlighted “professional and timely service,” “experienced engineers,” and “speedy responses.” However, negative feedback accused staff of being “rude and highly unreliable,” overcharging, and displaying “unprofessional and very hostile” behavior. Speedy Jet Plumbers responded to several complaints, alleging they were “fake.”
Reasons for closure
The specific cause of the company's collapse has not been disclosed. Nonetheless, the closure occurs amid widespread financial pressures affecting many UK businesses. The company's website is no longer active, and Google lists the business as “permanently closed.”
Director changes
Companies House has confirmed the termination of Peter Meekel's appointment as a director on May 21, 2026. The notice in The Gazette further details the voting procedures for creditors, emphasizing deadlines and documentation requirements.
This liquidation marks the end of a 35-year-old plumbing business, reflecting the challenging economic climate for small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK.
