## 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.
- In Ireland, gas work must by law be done by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) and electrical work by a contractor registered with Safe Electric. Verify the registration on the public register before any gas or electrical job, as using an unregistered installer is illegal and dangerous.
- Agree an itemised written quote with staged payments tied to completed work rather than a large cash deposit up front, and confirm the tradesperson's public-liability insurance before they start.
