## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "The people at Watertight that I spoke with and dealt with were all great. The first one over the phone advised a couple things to try/check before having to pay a callout fee, and when it turned out we did definitely need the plumber after all they were spot on time, neat and tidy, fixed things well and quickly, and explained charges well. Would definitely hire them next time."

> "Watertight were so easy to deal with when changing from a 1960's hot water cylinder to bottled gas/Rinnai system. The job was exactly as quoted on their website. Communication with Rod was fantastic and Doug was a pleasure to have in our home. He was very approachable and really thought through the placement of our gas bottles etc. We could not recommend them more highly. It was a very streamlined process and the job was complete within a day. Nothing was a problem. Will definitely be using"

> "Professional and punctual, unlike some plumbers. Matt and Kyle were a breeze to get things done for us. Installed gas stove and did work in our bathroom. Well priced and experienced tradesman who explained things in Laymans language. We highly recommend watertight plumbing and will be getting more work done by them soon. Thanks heaps Pip. D"

## 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.
