 You need to bring in a plumber bristol company: blocked toilets, drain pipe leaks, toilet column to be disgorged ... But we often wonder how to choose a good plumber bristol. Between the scams, uncertified convenience stores, and shoddy work, the possibility of running into a piping expert who won't be able to meet your needs is great. Here are 10 tips that you will need to apply to be sure to find the provider that suits you.

1. This plumber has been recommended to you.

The recommendation of a convenience store by someone who has already used it is probably a very good lead. However, be careful if it is a large corporation and not an individual convenience store. Companies can change staff and change their policies, so the quality of service is likely to decline over time. 

Some plumbers are part of an approved network that vouches for their reliability. They must therefore respect a rigorous, respectful and honest course of action. Among the networks known in France: Qualibat or UNCP.

Do not hesitate to go and check the advertised network's site if this company is really one of them. Most networks (including Qualibat) offer this information online.

If one of your devices is broken, for example your tap, find out about its brand (it is almost always indicated on the device) and call the manufacturer of the latter . Each brand normally has its approved service providers who can intervene to repair the device.

Avoid the signs which flood your mailboxes, claiming also to solve your problems of electricity, locksmiths, shutters, etc… Good craftsmen can also promote their services in this way but this mode of communication was done very badly. reputation because of shell companies. 

2. The plumber respects his commitments.

He must be able to give you an idea of ​​the cost of his intervention by telephone for a simple operation and to commit to a quote after a visit.

The announced response time must be respected. A good convenience store will call you back to let you know of a possible delay.

 3. The plumber does not immediately suggest “changing everything”.

A priori, you have little knowledge of plumbing, and some stakeholders can benefit from it. A good plumber should take the time to analyze the problem and find the best solution, which is not necessarily the most expensive.

 4. Your plumber charges reasonable rates.

The total invoice amount must include travel expenses, the cost of labor and materials. A low cost of travel and a low hourly rate can hide significant margins on equipment.

A good professional knows the cost of his classic equipment. He will be able to accurately assess the cost of the necessary change of equipment. To check if this weighs heavily on your potential bill, ask the service provider for the evolution of the price if you opt for another type of equipment. For example, if you need to change your Grohe brand faucet, estimate the price for a change to a basic faucet. The difference could be significant.

5. The good plumber has the right equipment.

He must arrive at your home with the necessary tools , and have all the most common spare parts in his vehicle.

If the repair is complex and requires parts to be ordered, they should be able to install a temporary replacement system for you. If it is an emergency repair that must be followed by a more substantial intervention, take the time to establish several quotes.

Whatever the extent of the intervention, the plumber must preserve the aesthetics of the premises , using the appropriate tools and putting in place the necessary coverings (covers).

6. The plumber is ready to return the defective equipment to you. 

Recover allegedly defective parts; you may have to have them appraised if you had a dispute with the plumber.

7. Your plumber prepares a quote and an invoice.

The quote is mandatory above 150 euros. It must be clear, detailed and without unpleasant surprises. If it is an emergency intervention, it will be an “invoice quote”.

A payment is made against invoice, the coordinates of the convenience store must appear on the estimate and the invoice.

 

8. In an emergency situation, a good plumber will give you details over the phone. 

In an emergency situation , the troubleshooter must ask you questions over the phone in order to understand the nature of your problem and must be able to already give you some details about your case. Be aware that urgency is the only reason the plumber could legally not give you a written quote. The absence of a quote in this specific case is therefore not synonymous with dishonesty.

9. Your plumber is at your service.

The professional gives you advice on safety, is courteous and is on hand to help you . He must not do additional work without notifying you. Ask questions: he must be able to give you clear explanations in accessible language.

10. The good plumber does not take advantage of “difficult” situations.

The best times for scams are at night or on weekends. A good convenience store will tell you if their intervention is increased because of the schedule of your call and ask you if you want to wait in the morning / working day. 

Take the time to find a trusted convenience store and keep their number handy so you can contact them in an absolute emergency.
