What a plumber does
Plumbers work with copper, plastic and flexible pipe, and usually carry common fittings. A bigger job such as a new cylinder or a bathroom move may need a second visit to collect parts.
Jobs people often ask plumbers to do:
- Fixing leaking taps, pipes and toilets
- Fitting a new sink, basin, bath or shower
- Clearing blocked sinks, baths and drains
- Replacing radiators and valves
- Fitting an outside tap
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.
- Find your stopcock before you need it. If a pipe fails, turning the water off at the stopcock limits the damage while you wait.
- Ask whether the price is for labour only or includes parts, and whether there is a call-out charge on top.
- Unvented hot water cylinders are pressurised and have to be fitted by a suitably qualified installer. Ask who will sign it off.
