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. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. ## Contact - Phone: 01438 567350 - Website: https://atecmechanical.co.uk --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/atec-mechanical-services-ltd-2 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 2 named public sources.
