Help Guide – Finding Reputable St Helens Plumbers

It can be tricky Finding reputable St Helens Plumbers and then picking the right St Helens Plumbers to complete what you want in the time scale you have planned.

It’s Not Easy – Finding Reputable St Helens Plumbers

Look out for qualifications such as City and Guilds or NVQ. Do not discount plumbers St Helens without these new qualifications but who have decades of experience and hundreds of satisfied customers.

The thing you do need to look out for if you are having any work done involving mains gas is  Gas Safe scheme registration. Gas work can only lawfully be carried out by a plumber who is Gas Safe registered. The Gas Safe Register used to be known as CORGI, and is the official gas registration list for the United Kingdom. Every one of the companies on the Which? Trusted Trader list – like L&W Heating and Plumbing St Helens – are fully Gas Safe registered. This offer peace of mind that they are trustworthy and capable.

The plumbing industry has several trade associations that your potential contractor may belong to: for example The Association of Plumbing & Heating Contractors (APHC) and the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE). The benefit to you of choosing a plumber that is a full member of one of the trade associations is that they will require that all of their members have appropriate insurance.

Try to get three quotes: even if you have an emergency. You should call each company and explain your problem giving as much detail as possible. The company will be able to tell you what their call-out will cost you, but the total amount will depend on the precise problem and what parts they will need.

Especially if the work is non- urgent, it pays to take your time searching for the best company. Ring at least 3 different plumbers to get quotes – and make sure all the quotes are comparable. A good example of this would be for boiler servicing St Helens which has to be done annually if you are to avoid huge repair bills.
