Understanding Your Plumbing Needs
First of all, you’ll want to figure out what plumbing work you need. In most cases, the work involved is a form of routine plumbing maintenance or a new installation.
Plumbing issues come in all shapes and sizes, and can include:
- A leaking or burst pipe, needing an emergency plumber to repair it.
- Blocked toilets, sinks, or drains that you can't clear yourself.
- Issues with your radiators (e.g., they won't heat up properly, even after radiator bleeding).
- Persistent issues with your central heating and lack of heat circulation, requiring a full system power flush.
- Dripping taps or other plumbing fixtures.
- Low water pressure throughout your property.
Knowing what tasks are needed from your plumber can help to streamline the process, making it easier to find the right plumber for the job.

On MyJobQuote, you can evaluate plumber profiles as well as look at their reviews and past customer ratings.
You can also look at images of their completed projects to get an idea of the quality of their work, helping you to make an informed choice.
Check Plumber Credentials
Plumbers don't always need formal qualifications to work in the UK - but training and certifications help to prove an individual's professionalism and skill.
However, if a plumber is working on any gas appliances, such as installing a gas boiler, they must be Gas Safe registered to perform the work legally.
For general plumbing, you should look for the following credentials:
- A Level 2 or 3 NVQ in Plumbing and Heating, or relevant qualifications from City & Guilds.
- Evidence of apprenticeships in plumbing and heating.
- If working on gas appliances, proof of Gas Safe registration.
- Proof of insurance, such as public liability insurance, to offer cover for any accidents or damages during the plumbing work.
Experience and previous work projects can also be key measures of a plumber's quality and reliability.
Plumber Recommendations
As well as using MyJobQuote, you may also want to seek recommendations from people in your life. This could mean looking for personal referrals from friends, family or/work colleagues relating to plumbers or plumbing companies they’ve worked with before.
Word-of-mouth recommendations can act as another helpful way of finding dependable plumbing services near you.
Just make sure you still do your own research into a plumber to make sure they can carry out the work you need, and with the right level of quality for your expectations.
Clarify the Contract With Your Plumber
Securing a written service agreement as part of hiring a plumber can help to lay out expectations, avoid misunderstandings, and ensure you get what you’re looking for.
A service agreement should include:
- The scope of work involved.
- The project timeline (when the work will take place, and how long it should last).
- The price of the work, including any parts and labour and additional services such as waste removal if required.
- Details about any guarantees or warranties on the parts or labour.
It’s a good idea to also ask about any unexpected or hidden fees that may apply, including fees that may be added later if the job ends up taking longer than expected.
What Can a Plumber Do?
Plumbers can carry out a range of jobs from repairs and maintenance all the way to full replacements and brand new installations:
- Unclog a drain, or clear toilet blockages.
- Fix leaking taps, pipes, or fixtures.
- Repair or replace a dishwasher and washing machine.
- Fix or replace radiators or towel rails.
- Install new bathroom suites, including sinks, baths, and showers.
