Repair Wizard
Repair Wizard was started by Dave Craig in 2019 following a successful career as a repair technician and senior manager with the UK’s largest surface repair company. Following a successful start up period, in April 2020 Dave formed Repair Wizard SW Ltd with Chris Nuttall Worsley a former colleague alongside a local building services company. In January 2021 Martin Smith joined the company as a non executive director bringing with him a wealth of experience from his previous role as Chairman of The Firewatch Group.
Jetwash Wizard was added into the core services in 2022 when a brand new state of the art purpose built hot/cold jetwash and purified water vehicle was purchased by the business. Working for large educational organisations, property management companies and house builders, the service has become a well known name within the South West. A Water leak Detection Service were added to Repair Wizard services in 2023. Working alongside insurance companies finding and fixing water leaks as well as replacing and installing new water mains the service has quickly become a trusted partner for several large customers.
All three directors of Repair Wizard passionately share the same values and have a wealth of experience in the repair industry as well as managing large responsive companies. Our values of providing the best customer service, a fantastic supportive working environment for our team, integrity and honesty are what make up the DNA of Repair Wizard and we carry those values through into our everyday work
