What a plumber does
Day to day, a plumber finds where water is leaking or not flowing, makes the repair and tests it. On larger work they plan the pipe routes, fit the appliances and check everything under pressure.
Jobs people often ask plumbers to do:
- Fixing leaking taps, pipes and toilets
- Fitting a new sink, basin, bath or shower
- Replacing radiators and valves
- Fitting an outside tap
- Installing a washing machine or dishwasher supply
Before you book a plumber
- Gas work, such as fitting or servicing a boiler, must be done by someone on the Gas Safe Register. Ask to see the card and check the number on the register. Not every plumber does gas work.
- Say if the problem is a leak coming through a ceiling. Switching off the electrics to that room is sensible until it has been looked at.
- Ask what happens if the fix does not hold. A good tradesperson will tell you plainly whether work is guaranteed and for how long.
- Ask if the plumber carries public liability insurance. It is a normal question and an honest answer takes a few seconds.
