Finding A Good Plumber Swindon

There are any number of reasons why you might need a plumber in Swindon. It could be a complete replacement of your heating system or a simple dripping tap that has finally got on your nerves enough to have something done about it. Whatever the reason there seem to be as many to choose from as there are ways across the Magic Roundabout. Choosing one might not be as simple was wishing “plumber Swindon”.

Nobody likes to think that they may have water pouring through their ceiling at 3am, but cold winter nights can bring on all sorts of problems with your pipes. If you are lucky, and the leak is minor then you could switch off the water at the stopcock or put a bucket under the drip and go back to bed. Plumbers are expensive in the middle of the night and if it can wait until daylight then better to call between 9am and 5pm.

Unfortunately, some things can’t wait. If the ceiling is likely to cave in and you have no idea how to turn the water off, contacting a 24 hour emergency service might be a better option than struggling by yourself to find the water board’s stopcock in the road. Call a company with a rapid response service, or someone very close by, so the problem gets fixed before you have to buy a rubber dingy to get to the living room.

It was commonplace for a plumber to charge a huge fee before even stepping over the threshold, let alone fixing the problem, but there are many companies offering their services without a callout charge. If you have time before your staircase becomes Niagara Falls, it might be worth comparing the hourly rates of a few companies as a few pounds an hour difference adds up on a long job.

If you think that your repairs are going to very expensive and are considering making a claim on your household insurance then it may be worth checking with the insurance company to see if they have a list of ‘approved’ plumbers. This could make settlement easier once the work is complete.

When you are having routine work done like a boiler service, or perhaps replacing central heating or a shower, you have the luxury of taking your time to get recommendations and a number of quotes. Choose a contractor that can come at a time to suit you for a price that suits your pocket, but remember the cheapest may not be the best quality.

Gas appliances need to be installed and serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This has replaced the CORGI qualification for gas fitters. Landlords need be especially aware as the law requires annual safety checks by a qualified engineer.

Using recommendations, an internet search or good old Yellow Pages should find you the right plumber for the job, your magic “plumber Swindon”. Once you have hired him, don’t forget his tea and bikkies as every plumber works better with a good brew.
