HomeServe

HomeServe is a British multinational home emergency repairs and improvements business based in Walsall, England. Established in 1993, it was listed on the London Stock Exchange until it was acquired by Brookfield Asset Management in January 2023.

The company was originally established by Richard Harpin in 1993 as a joint venture between South Staffordshire Water and himself under the name of Fastfix to offer an emergency plumbing service. In 1994, the company diversified offering plumbing and drainage policies under the name 'HomeServiceScheme'. It launched Doméo, a joint venture in France in 2001, and Home Service in the United States in 2003. Attempts to launch in Australia failed, after objections were raised in the Australian Parliament. The water business was demerged from the rest of the Group in 2004 and the name of the company was changed to HomeServe PLC.
