Picking Your Plumber

If you opt to use plumbers from Yellow Pages or the local paper, make sure you take some percautions. There are a lot of bad plumbers. If possible make sure the plumber is Corgi Registered. This is technically a gas qualification and not required but it shows he has a much higher level of training.

When the plumber arrives make sure he states exactly what work he will do. This means you have to agree what pipes will be moved, if he will seal the bath and basin, if he will tile (a bad idea - get a tiler), if he will do the flooring. Agree a list with him and make sure he does it all. If fails to do it, then refuse payment. You should get a contract written confirming the cost of the work before he starts.
