<p>Local Heroes already connects people with local plumbing, heating, electrical and draining experts across the country. The digital on-demand service works by linking the customer-tradespeople journey seamlessly, from searching for a job and providing a price estimate, through to confirmation and online payment. All work that is undertaken is backed by a 12-month British Gas guarantee.</p>
<p>New tradespeople joining the Local Heroes network are qualified, accredited and insured, and price estimates are provided before work commences. The company is also working with the Master Locksmiths Association and the Tile Association to engage locksmiths and tilers respectively.</p>
<p>The introduction of new services, which sees Centrica firmly establish itself in this market, will bolster the company's presence in the £5.7 billion on-demand home services market whilst providing more choice when it comes to finding people to carry out work in the home.</p>

<p>Local Heroes already connects people with local plumbing, heating, electrical and draining experts across the country. The digital on-demand service works by linking the customer-tradespeople journey seamlessly, from searching for a job and providing a price estimate, through to confirmation and online payment. All work that is undertaken is backed by a 12-month British Gas guarantee.</p>
<p>New tradespeople joining the Local Heroes network are qualified, accredited and insured, and price estimates are provided before work commences. The company is also working with the Master Locksmiths Association and the Tile Association to engage locksmiths and tilers respectively.</p>
<p>The introduction of new services, which sees Centrica firmly establish itself in this market, will bolster the company's presence in the £5.7 billion on-demand home services market whilst providing more choice when it comes to finding people to carry out work in the home.</p>
