Emergency Plumbers

Post by Boss Hogg » Tue Jul 11, 2023 1:49 pm

Anyone know any reliable ones covering Barlick / Colne area ? Need more of them. Most are only interested in big jobs. Think I’ll do a course myself. Thanks in advance

Try this guy pal:

He's called Noor, Asian guy, dead sound. 07475978821.

Not sure he covers your area though, worth a try.

He got to me within four hours last time I used him.

Ring Your local college if you have plenty of these small jobs.
Get the 3rd year students on them.

Or pay the going rate. Which won't be cheap if it's an emergency.

It was good advice.

A 3rd year plumbing student should be able to work out most problems and fix them for you. As they're still not fully qualified you'd have got the work done much cheaper.

And even though you sought out good advice and received it, you've thrown it back in the poster's face.

Used to be loads of plumbers around

Still, I guess that they needed us more than we needed them eh?

I wonder how quick you'd get your 'emergency' sorted if you rang the college?

Thanks for the replies. Got sorted now anyway but it’s really helpful this board sometimes.

I used to be a plumber, but now I’m a missionary.

3rd year students will already be Level 2 qualified and probably just passed their level 3.

I know a few people that have used trade students for projects, they get experience and the college tutors sign it off.

By his post he seemed like he only needed small jobs doing that normal plumbers wouldn't touch, due to lack of money on the job?
Ideal for a youngster getting in the game.

Of course they are going to be supervised. They wouldn't want any of their students going alone into some internet nutter's home, now would they, 4midable?

By which time your 'emergency' has become a catastrophe.

Perhaps the (old (many are)) stop tap has seized or snapped?

Of course, ring the college. Silly me.
