5 things to consider when engaging a Plumber for your bathroom renovation in Queensland.
- 1. QBCC Licence
2. Experience
Some Plumbers specialise in certain types of Plumbing, ask what experience your plumber has in the area that you are looking for? when was the last time that the plumber performed the work that you are requesting?
3. Reviews
Check reviews on Facebook and Google to see what feedback has been provided by previous customers, when reviewing the information consider the responses provided by the plumber to those reviews.
Ask around your friends, family and workplace to see if anyone you know has used the Plumber you are considering or if they are able to provide recommendations to you.
4. Insurance
Every plumber should have Public Liability Insurance, when engaging your plumber ask them if they have insurance, if you are concerned you could ask to see a certificate of currency for their insurance.
If you are having certain works completed that are above the value of $3,300, the QBCC may require that a home warranty insurance policy is taken out by the contractor.
5. Warranty on Labour and Products
It is important to understand the warranty period that your plumber provides. The warranty on products will differ depending on the products being used. Speak with your plumber about the products and if there are alternative products that would provide longer warranties, whilst these products may be more expensive the warranty period may outweigh the initial outlay.
