Plumbers handle water pipework, fittings, repairs and alterations around kitchens, bathrooms and utility areas. Gas work, heating faults and below-ground drainage may need a different specialist.

When to hire a plumber

  • Water is leaking

  • Pipework is noisy or damaged
  • You are not sure whether the issue is plumbing, drainage or heating

What to include when asking for a quote

  • Describe the exact problem or result you want, including when it started or what you want changed.
  • Add clear photos where they can be taken safely, and include measurements, plans or model details if they are relevant.
  • Give the property location, access or parking constraints, and any deadline or urgency.
  • Say whether you are supplying materials, products or appliances, or want the business to include them.
  • Mention previous repairs, surveys, quotes or known defects that could affect the work.

What to check before hiring a plumber

  • Experience with similar repairs
  • Whether call-out charges apply
  • Whether parts are included
  • Whether they provide a written quote
  • Whether the work is guaranteed
  • Whether they have public liability insurance
  • Any required Gas Safe registration for the work involved

Useful questions to ask a plumber

  • Can you diagnose from photos or do you need to visit?
  • Is the quote fixed or estimated?
  • Are parts included?
  • How soon can the leak or repair be looked at?
  • Do you also handle heating or drainage issues?
  • Have you completed similar work before?

What can affect the cost of plumbing work

  • Urgency
  • Access to pipework
  • Parts required
  • Whether walls, floors or tiles need opening
  • Length of visit
  • Whether the job is repair or installation

Before the work starts

  • Clear access to the affected fittings and pipework.
  • If there is a leak, explain whether the water can be isolated and where the stopcock is if known.
  • Move belongings away from areas that may need opening up.

Safety note

For uncontrolled water, isolate the supply only if you can do so safely. Keep water away from electrical equipment and use a Gas Safe registered engineer for any gas work.
