Find a recommended, reputable plumber in your local area with the Registered Plumbers Map
Finding tradesmen by recommendation is one of the safest ways to ensure you don’t hire cowboys. For example, there are thousands of searches online for recommended plumbers near me every day. But is this really the best way to find a reliable tradesman?
What's The Best Way To Find a Reliable Tradesperson?
Firstly, there is a huge amount of fraud on online review sites. In these days of ‘fake news’ there are people willing to manipulate reviews both to make their own company look better and to trash the competition. The scale of this is quite shocking. For example, Trustpilot removed over two million bogus reviews in 2020! The trusted business review site revealed that most of these fake reviews are created and posted by automated software without human involvement. BBC Watchdog has also taken up the issue of manipulating reviews in an attempt to protect consumers. So remember when you search for recommended plumbers near me you could be deceived!
The other popular way to find recommended local tradesmen is to ask friends, family and neighbours. This is a more personal approach and you can of course trust the people you know, but check that the work you need completing is similar to what the person recommending had done. For example, a friend may suggest a recommended plumber who fitted a single tap for them but you may need a much larger project. Does that company have the resources and expertise for such a job?
Find a Recommended Plumber With Registered
Registered can take away a lot of the risk and pain when you’re asking about recommended plumbers near me. Our database consists only of local tradesmen we approach based on our thorough research.

Remember that for larger jobs it’s worth getting two or three plumbing quotes. It’s not all about price, but talking to a couple of local plumbers can give you an idea of the sort of work they do and how they can help you. It’s also worth asking when they can start the work and what the timescale will be as plumbers in your area may be in high demand! If you’re having to coordinate a number of local tradesmen for a project like a kitchen makeover it helps to understand when they are available as some of the work may be dependent on the completion of other phases.
