When needing a plumber, it is important to find one who is reliable, competent, and offers a guarantee on their work. You should check that the plumber is Gas Safe registered, ask for references from previous clients, and stay while they work to understand what they are doing. Only pay once satisfied with the completed work and remember to request a warranty in case any issues arise later. Choosing a professional plumbing company who can provide documentation of their qualifications and guarantees their services helps ensure you hire a suitable plumber.

1. When you need a plumber, it is really usually unexpected,
all is running smoothly, then you find the boiler has
broken, or your sink is blocked beyond your own repair.

2. You are in a rush and need to find a suitable plumber.

3. The internet is the tool we use these days, but there are
numerous plumbers advertising on the internet and the
ability to choose one who will guarantee to do your work
efficiently and cost effectively, is a lottery.

4. So how do you find one who will serve your needs at a
price you can afford?

5. Well, firstly, check they are Gas Safe registered, this will
eliminate most unprofessional companies immediately.
There are many out there!!

6. Also ask to see their Gas Safe registration, as this will
confirm their credentials in this field.

7. If they say they have lost it, or indeed they have not got it
with the, tell them that they can start once they have
shown it to you. Ok...

8. Take the details down and place them somewhere safely.

9. The Gas Safe registration is a valuable tool, to ensure they
are who they say they are and also if issues arise at a later
date, you can take it up with the appropriate bodies.

10. Ask for testimonials, from previous clients.

11. Also ask if they work for estate agents or restaurant/hotel
branches. If they do, the chances are they are fully
competent to warrant such permanent work.

12. Most decent plumbing companies will be only too happy
to provide you with testimonials from other clients or
businesses, usually they will be delighted to show you
their levels of professionalism.

13. The ones who don't are the ones to be avoided...Like the
plague!

14. If possible always stay around while they are working.

15. Ask what they are doing and indeed why.

16. This not only serves as a free tutorial but also if problems
develop later you can use this knowledge if any dispute
arises.

17. Ask if they offer full guarantees for their products and
services.

18. Always feel free to ask for more details.

19. Finally only pay once you are satisfied with the work
completed and don't forget to ask for that guarantee or
warranty.

20. It may be required later if the product installed is faulty.

21. A reliable local plumber is not always easy to source.
Choose a professional plumbing company who works
efficiently.

22. Remember you are the client and you're paying for their
services! Good luck!
