How to choose the right plumber
The best plumber for you depends on what you need. Here are a few things to keep in mind when making your choice:
- For emergencies — prioritise availability and response time. Able Group and Canterbury Drainage Specialists both offer 24/7 cover.
- For boiler work — make sure they're Gas Safe registered. Any plumber working on gas appliances in the UK must be on the Gas Safe Register.
- For bathrooms — look for someone with a portfolio of completed projects you can see. Ask to speak to a past customer if you can.
- For smaller repairs — a local independent plumber will usually be faster and cheaper than a larger company.
Always get at least two quotes for larger jobs, check their reviews on Google directly and make sure they're insured before work begins.
