Hi everyone.

I need to plumber to check-out an annoying problem I have with pipes in the loft making a racket when I take a shower. Can anyone recommend a plumber? (I don't want to have to pay the earth for someone to look at the problem and then tell me it can't be fixed or something similar!)

Please feel free to send me a private message with recommendations (or the opposite!)

Thanks.

Jim
Hi Jim

Take a look at the "Little Green Book" which lists tradespeople who have been personally recommended. The link is http://www.littlegreenbook.co.uk/ReadingIndex.htm

A few months ago I needed a plumber to sort out a problem with our water pressure, and also to install a shower. The chap I chose was brilliant. Very reasonable charges, professional, and great attention to detail. His entry is:

"CR Dodds Plumbing

Thanks for this, Andy.

I also posted a "job" on http://www.mybuilder.com, which allows tradesmen (not just builders) to get in contact, and they are also given ratings.

I have had a response, but I will check out the chap you suggest. There's nothing as good as a personal recommendation....

Thanks again,

Jim
Thanks.

My plumbing problems have now been sorted.
We need a plumber who can diagnose and repair a tub leak only when a large jacuzzi is full - and then it leaks badly through the ceiling of the room below. Simply running water down the drain when the tub is empty does not result in a leak. Can anyone recommend a creative, problem-solving plumber? If said plumber showed up when promised? Even better!
Hi

I contacted CR Dodds, as recommended by Andy, above.

He is a good guy, sorted out my problems and has back since for another matter.

Of course it’s exciting for me to be helping you with your problem, but fixing drips, clogs, and leaks is part of my job as well; and they’re unpleasant facts of life. Try to visit some sites I'm sure their are many experts with regards to that matter for somewhat home maintenance adelaide...
