Check list for hiring a plumber
The Plumbers Licensing Board recommends that before you use the services of a plumber you always:
- shop around and obtain a range of quotes before you decide;
- sight the plumber's licence card;
- check the expiry date to see that it is current;
- check the front of the card to ensure that the type of work to be carried out is permitted by the licence;
- ask for the details of the licensed plumbing contractor who will certify the work, if the work is being undertaken by a licensed tradesperson; and
- obtain a written quotation for the total cost of the job.
