If you’re a homeowner or landlord, you’ll know the frustration that comes with having broken or failing appliances. Boilers, ovens and electrical equipment are just some of the items in a household that can unexpectedly break, causing problems for the whole family. Getting a knowledgeable professional to fix the problem is beneficial in the long term.
Unless you’re a confident plumber, when it comes to fixing plumbing issues yourself it’s usually best to leave it to the professionals. DIY work can be costly if it goes wrong, not to mention dangerous!
Plumbing issues may arise for a number of reasons; whether your boiler is faulty, your kitchen drains are blocked or your bathroom sink is leaking. Hiring a qualified plumber to come and look at the issue can be beneficial, not only for your safety but for the longevity of your household plumbing.
Not only are plumbers able to fix existing problems, but they’re also able to install new fittings such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Benefits of an experienced plumber
Relying on the internet for advice or how-to guides for how to fix your house plumbing problems might be cost efficient, but hiring a professional, experienced plumber can be a long-term investment.
Here are some of the benefits of hiring an experienced plumber:
Experience
Plumbing issues can often be complex and difficult to diagnose. Qualified plumbers are experienced and are able to tackle issues accordingly. They’ll be able to identify the issue and complete the job in a quick and safe manner.
Expert Advice
Do you want a new bathroom suite, but are unsure about the fixtures and fittings that might be suitable for your new shower? Whilst your plumber makes a visit for a job, they can also offer expert advice on another job in your household- and even provide you with a quote for the work.
Safety
Water heaters and gas boilers can be dangerous if not fixed or used correctly. With an experienced plumber, you can rest assured that the work will be done in the safest way possible, in accordance with gas and water safety specifications.
Fix multiple issues at once
Instead of making repeat visits to your home for different issues, plumbers can fix a few problems at once. If you need your house plumbing updated in order to fit the new kitchen sink, this can all be completed in one job rather than calling other personnel out to help. Plumbers have an array of expertise from kitchen and bathroom fitting to boiler repair.
Quality Guarantee
Hiring an experienced plumber not only means you get a high-quality service, but you also get a guarantee for the job. If you’re tackling a problem for yourself, there’s no assurance to say that it won’t break in a week’s time, putting you back to square one. With a trustworthy plumber, you’ve always got a contact that you can call if you have any further issues with the work they have completed.
Personalised Service
Spending hours talking to customer service lines to fix issues in your house can be frustrating and tiresome. Plumbing services are face-to-face, so you can ask any questions you might have about the plumbing issue or any future work you hope to have done; such as a new kitchen or bathroom.
Boiler Repair Services
Gas Safe engineers are the best people to contact about any boiler problems you might have. There are dangers involved in repairing boilers, so it’s best not to attempt to fix the problem yourself.
There are a lot of issues that can occur with a boiler that can stop it from functioning efficiently. If your boiler suddenly breaks down, preventing you from having hot or cold water in your house; it’s time to get the professionals in. Rather than messing around with pipes or boiler controls yourself, plumbers will be able to diagnose the issue quickly and professionally- getting your household plumbing back on track. By investing in a professional plumber to provide you with a gas boiler service, you can have peace of mind that any issues that might occur are dealt with efficiently.
Many new boilers are energy efficient, so it might be that your faulty boiler might need replacing. With a reliable plumber, your new boiler can be regularly serviced to ensure that it is running as efficiently as possible throughout the year.
Central Heating Services
Particularly through the cold winter months in the UK, it’s essential to have functioning central heating. If your central heating system is out of date, there are many new systems that can help keep your household bills down and make your house more efficient. Plumbers can assist in fitting new central heating systems, as well as upgrading old ones.
Kitchen Installations
Kitchens are the heart of the home, and a smooth functioning kitchen is essential in making it its best. From sinks to dishwashers, the kitchen hosts the majority of a household’s plumbings, so it’s important to get the professionals in to make sure that your new kitchen installation is a success.
Perhaps you’d like your sink to be situated on an island in the middle of the kitchen space? Or you’d like to move your dishwasher to a more convenient space for the whole family? These are all changes that your plumber can help with. Hiring a professional for this job saves you stress and prevents any issues occurring in the future; leaving you time to focus on the design and aesthetics of your new kitchen.
Bathroom Installations
Installing a new bathroom can be time-consuming; so getting the right materials and logistics for the job is essential. If you’re considering installing your bathroom yourself, consider the time it might take for you to complete the job.
Whether you’re converting a room into a wet room, installing a new shower or updating an old suite, employing the help of an expert plumber is essential. Not only will your bathroom be installed quickly, but it will also be completed at a high standard. Fitting toilet and sink pipes can be tricky unless you’re fully aware of what is required.
How to find a plumber
Plumbing professionals will often work in one area or town, so sourcing the right person for the job is easy if you’ve got friends and family who have had plumbing work done in the past.
Going off other people’s recommendations is a great way to find a trustworthy, experienced plumber.
If you’re looking for a plumber online it’s a good idea to check if they have a website and to obtain a quote this way, so that you have an idea of what the job might cost.
