## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I found Palmers Plumbing true to their word and with a job which needed immediate attention they were there on the spot.They took their boots off at the door and to me thats a great start. They put down drop sheets for the job inside so it was all 100% satisfactory. Thankyou for the opportunity to sing their praises."
> Source: Raewyn (5.0, via NoCowboys)

> "We had a Metro fireplace installed. We were very happy with everything from the outset. We were very anxious at the beginning because a few friends had fireplaces installed (not by this firm) and they ran into all sorts of complications and the process had not been explained to them in detail. We highly recommend this business and we have engaged their services again. Well done guys."

> "Rental property and I live in another area. Very helpful, told them what I wanted in the new bathroom (vanity, shower etc) and they gave me several different brands/prices to choose from"

## 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.
