Blocked drain: what to tell a plumber
What to record before you ask for a quote, and what to leave alone.
Burst or leaking pipe: what to do before the quote
Isolate water only if you can do it safely, then tell the plumber what you saw.
Hot water: what a quote should cover
Storage or continuous flow, the tempering valve, and what is included.
Gas fitting: questions before you accept a quote
Gas work is licensed. A smell of gas is a leave-the-building problem.
Toilets and taps: how to describe the job
A drip, a running cistern and a loose mixer are different visits.
Damp patch: leak, or something else?
Record where and when. A plumber separates supply, waste and everything that is not a pipe.
Bathroom or kitchen plumbing: scope before a quote
Say whether fixtures stay put. Waterproofing is not always the same licence.
Stormwater and the sewer are different systems
Rainwater does not belong in the sewer. Say when the water appears.
What counts as urgent plumbing
Isolate what you safely can. This website does not dispatch a crew.
