O/T Plumbers

[albiongirl]

Does any one know a plumber or can recommend one?? I have phoned a couple and their rates are too much. I'm just worried about being ripped off.

What is the problem?

Try Dyno Plumbing. (there is one in Saltdean)
They are generally set rates and very reasonable.

Nothing major just a leak under the kitchen sink I have a bucket in place so I can wait at the mo. I think the seal has gone on the pipes.

You could probably do that yourself. Get the same sized washer at B & Q

Out of curiosty what rates were they quoting you. I would like to compare it against the rates we charge for all our tradesman on the Island !

 

[albiongirl]

I was quoted £34-44 per half an hour!!

 

[ManxSeagull]

ouch

we charge £23 per hour for daywork jobs such as yours !

Do not use anyone who quotes you those kind of rates. Don't go for the 24 hour Emergency - no call out fee people. You will get the classic "I need to get some parts" back in two hours - and a bill for three hours work.

Go to the section in the Yellow pages under Plumbers where there's a page headed The Institute of Plumbing. There's a list of names and addresses - no expensive flashy ads. Choose the nearest - people don't like to ruin their reputation in their own backyard and you have someone you can complain to. These guys will probably be quite busy but it sounds like it's not absolutely desperate and quite a small job, so they should be able to fit you in.

Good luck.

That's good advice Lush.As a builder I know how many rip-off merchants there are ,but anyone listed under the Institute of Plumbing banner should be OK
