> "This is the second property where I have asked Jack to completely replace the bathrooms. This included the strip out of the existing, extending one bathroom, new tiling as well new fittings, bath, sink, shower etc. As ever the quality of the work carried out by Alternative Plumbing is second to none. In fact with the second refurbishment I did not bother to get alternative quotations. To say I am absolutely delighted with the quality of the work would be an understatement. I cannot recommend Alternative Plumbing highly enough. Their costs in my opinion are very competetive."

## 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.
