About 3 foot 6 inches.

The piece of string that is.

Get three estimates. Ask to see previous works and/or speak to past customers.

PS Not all of us rip people off.

big help , thanks simon will get 3 quotes. don`t meen to offend but a new face in town might be an extra `0` on the bill.

Who say`s a combi will do you or a plumber? They aren`t for every house, ie multiple showers and it`s not the best way to go as others have found out.

Speak for yourself

Hint 1/ Don't tell them your from out of town.
Hint 2/ Don't tell them you were left the place from your father.

Hint 3/ Tell them you're moving back and you bought the place.

I really don't know what difference it makes, most genuine people find genuine people.

If you start off by being wary and assume you are going to be ripped off - then you scare off any genuine plumbers.

Some of us have dealt with customers for many years and we seem to get a feeling about some customers - from previous experiences - that scare us away also.

We deal with this by either:

Not submitting a quote, or submitting a ridiculously high quote.
If we don't get the job - all good.
If we get the job - proceed with caution.

It works both ways.

Speak to your fathers neighbours about who they use or would recommend. Also make sure you are around whilst works going on, not sat on their shoulders, but there at start of day and towards end.

Also what are you doing with the house, selling, renting, moving in? Adjust budget to suit.

Whereabouts in East Yorkshire? Maybe somebody on here who could assist.

Almost every member on here seems to come from ferret and flat cap county, shouldn't be too hard.

Certainly one in every town and sometimes more. Surprised they haven`t started their own sub forum.

Ah gods county. Everywhere else is just poop.

So it is true that people from Yorkshire are stubborn once they get an idea in their head then.

I wonder what percentage of convicts you sent us were from Yorkshire?

Whatever the percentage, there seems to be an abnormal resurgence of their DNA popping up over here.

 

[Gasmk1]

i would imagine the majority of convicts were from the south as that is where a lot of the aussie accent is derived from. we are too god fearing and polite also well mannered up noth to have been sent to the colonies

try getting quotes from ageuk, they are on the books with a code of practice so you will at least have a good one.
