## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We were having problems getting a plumber to install 2 toilets and a new cabinet in our house. We then contacted B&B and they called the next day to assess what was required and 2 days later Christoff came and installed the units perfectly with no fuss and cleaned up everything afterwards. We would highly recommend them for your plumbing needs."
> Source: Tim (5.0, via NoCowboys)

> "Scott went above and beyond when it came to replacing our tired old polycarbonate roof with a new zincalume one. Well definitely use again."

## 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 New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters). Check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
