Medway plumbers has produced a free guide for anyone to download instantly and learn the insider secrets you need to know before hiring a plumber.

If you do not regularly need to use a plumber or you do not have a strong

recommendation from family or friends is often hard to know where to start to look for a decent quality plumbing and heating engineer.

Often the best way to find a good contractor of any type would be through friends and family first of all but often this is not practical or no strong recommendations come forward and so this guide was produced to help people when choosing a plumber.

The things that are covered in the guide are topics such as what makes a good plumber and what qualifications are required to call yourself a qualified plumber here in the UK.

It would be pretty pointless getting someone out to do a qualified job who holds no qualifications.

I could quite easily put an advert in a local paper or put up a website and get business from this even though I personally hold no plumbing qualifications but unless you ask specific questions you are not going to know this. Just because someone turns up in a plumbing van and wears overalls and can solder a copper pipe it does not make him or her a plumber or a heating engineer and unfortunately there are many cowboys in this profession who do just that.

The guide goes over typical plumbing jobs and not so typical plumbing jobs that a qualified plumber can undertake to do, from servicing your gas boiler to piping up your hot tub. And If you're getting any work done on your gas boiler then you need to make sure your heating engineer is gas safe registered and the guide goes over the differences between corgi and gas safe and what you need to look out for and clarify with your contractor.

Medway plumbers free guide also covers topics such as

-power flushing and what it entails and what it actually does for you and the benefits you may get.

-how to stop a leak?

-how to get plumbing quotes and the best way to handle non emergency plumbing problems.

And finally one of the most important parts of the guide covers the questions you need to ask and the things you need to do before you hire any plumber.

This is an invaluable free guide that I can highly recommend it to anybody that is thinking of hiring a plumber or heating engineer in the near future.
