Our commitment to our technicians
PESTUK’s success as a company is aligned with the success of our technicians and continued customer satisfaction. Our business model ensures technicians are extremely well paid and highly motivated, as well as having flexibility so they can choose to take time off as required.

How we work
Each technician sets up a limited company and is a contractor to PESTUK. This means they pay less tax as they can claim for protective clothing, telephone bills, gas and electric bills etc. We can help set this up.

We provide our technicians with decals incorporating the company logo, contact details and accreditations for their vehicle along with a startup inventory of tools and chemicals.

- Earnings are dependent on the number of appointments a technician takes along with demand, which varies according to external factors such as the weather.
