Key checks for plumber
- Confirm attendance and labour pricing.
- Ask about parts and warranty.
- Check relevant registration for any gas work.
Identify the actual job
State whether you need a repair, installation, bathroom project or heating-related work. Give equipment details and access information. Ask who will handle associated tiling, electrical or decorating work, since a plumbing quotation may cover only part of a larger project.
Compare attendance and change terms
Confirm minimum charges, parts and what happens if the fault needs another visit. For larger work, use the same fixture list and scope for each quote. Where gas work is involved, check the engineer's suitability through the appropriate registration information.
Before you book or buy
- Confirm attendance and labour pricing.
- Ask about parts and warranty.
- Check relevant registration for any gas work.
