Plumbing Estimates
Locating a reliable plumber, or other tradesman never seems an easy job, as they always appaear to be working and may not return your calls. The problem is that the good ones are generally very busy. If someone who has never worked for you before can start as right away, be careful. He may be OK but he might also be a ‘cowboy’. Now, back to the quote. Although a firm, fixed quote from a plumber is ideal way of finding out how much a job will cost, many will only be willing to provide a very rough and ready verbal estimate. Chelsea Plumbers give sound estimates.Their argument is there are usually so many variables and unknowns (such as poor plaster, or that plumbing hidden away in the wall cavities) but could push up costs, they really cannot be expected to give a fixed price. So what you do if you have made contact with three or more plumbers and they are all veer away from giving a firm quotation? If it’s a large job (more than a few hours work), always insist on a quote in writing. If it’s a modest job (of no more than a few hours work), then an estimate should be adequate. Of Course it’s not always the case that a plumber is going to cheat you, it might simply be that he doesn’t like the paperwork involved and prefers a verbal agreement instead. Nevertheless, you must always be on your guard. If you have no choice other than to court for an estimate, you must at the very least ask for a written agreement I clearly sets out the maximum price that you will have to pay for the work. To recap, while the ideal is to get a fixed written quotation, if the task is only small and the plumber is only prepared to provide an estimate, it must be backed up with a written “maximum price”. A Chelsea Plumber is a professional tradesperson. So, should a plumber not be willing to provide this it is best to carry on looking for a suitable tradesman
