## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We had 2 old radiators replaced with new energy efficient ones by Richard, at the same time he replaced central heating pipe work and installed new bathroom sink and bathroom cabinets. He did a great job overall and we are very happy with the end result."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Very friendly, professional and approachable, keeping me constantly updated at all times. I thoroughly recommend Richard for any bathroom design, plumbing and fitting."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "This is the 2nd time I have used Richard to fit a shower room. Yet again the quality of the work is amazing. The cost was very reasonable and all work was carried out to a high standard. As this was in a new extension and the company I contracted for the build went out if business, Richard has gone above and beyond what his was originally employed to do. He was even happy to help me and finish work that original company did not complete. I am really happy to recommend A Good Plumber to anyone"

## Before you hire a plumber
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Agree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
- Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
- Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
- For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. You can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
