What Do Plumbers Do? 5 Benefits Of Hiring Expert Plumbers
Introduction to Plumbing Services
When you think of a plumber, you might think of someone who unclogs toilets or fixes leaky pipes. But plumbing services encompass much more than that! Plumbers are responsible for installing, repairing, and maintaining the piping systems that carry water, waste, gas, and other materials throughout our homes and businesses.
There are different types of plumbing systems for different purposes. Some are designed to carry potable (drinking) water, while others carry waste or rainwater. The type of system will dictate the materials used and the methods of installation. For example, potable water systems must be made of non-toxic materials that won’t contaminate the water they’re carrying.
Plumbers also install fixtures like sinks, toilets, showers, and bathtubs. They connect these fixtures to the piping system using various methods, such as soldering/plastic or threaded connections. Once everything is connected, plumbers test the system to make sure it’s functioning properly before they move on to their next project.
Plumbing is an essential part of our everyday lives – without it, we wouldn’t be able to have running water in our homes or flush our toilets! If you have a plumbing problem or need a new fixture installed, be sure to call a licenced professional plumber.
Common Plumbing Services
Most plumbers offer a wide range of services to their customers. Here are some of the most common services they provide:
1. Residential and commercial plumbing – This includes installation, repair, and maintenance of plumbing systems in homes and businesses.
2. Drain cleaning – This involves clearing clogs from drains and sewers.
3. Sewer repair and replacement – This involves repairing or replacing damaged sewer lines.
4. Boiler installation and repair – This includes installing new boiler and repairing existing ones.
5. Leak detection and repair – This involves finding and fixing leaks in plumbing systems.
How Much Do Plumbers Charge?
It is important to know how much plumbers charge for their services before hiring one. Depending on the scope of work, plumbers typically charge by the hour or by the job. For smaller jobs, such as fixing a leaky tap, plumbers may charge by the hour. For larger projects, such as installing a new plumbing system in a home or office, plumbers will usually charge by the job.
The average hourly rate for a plumber is £45 – £150 plus VAT depending on the hours. Plumbing rates can vary depending on the type of work being done, the difficulty of the job, and the experience of the plumber.

Paul Rettey It was a pleasure to work with Normz, there was a bit of a tricky installation where the original toilet (with the dark wood cover) was hiding a sink waste pipe linking to the main waste pipe. The toilet ordered was not ideal. However as you can see by the results of the new toilet installation you would not realise that there is a connector from the sink waste behind the toilet. Very pleased with the work done. Very quick, very efficient and very neatly done. Really happy with the work! Robert Rang Normz because I had a leak under kitchen sink. Got a nice quick response, new parts fitted and all for a good price. Also nice tidy job. I totally recommend Normz. Cheers! Mihir Patel Normz and his team did a great job with replacing our shower. Normz managed to fit us in the very next day after we initially contacted him. We'd use their services again in the future. Nick Peel I have used Normz previously following a major internal water leak with no issues. This time they were very prompt on a call out to rectify a boiler issue. Normz will always be my first call for a plumber. Edward Oliver Great response and quick clean job changing kitchen tap, reasonable cost, recommended. Ruth Dollery We needed a plumber in an emergency on a Sunday and Normz plumbing put himself out to rescue us! Excellent service. Problem still ongoing with AO but at least Normz found out the issue and dealt with our flood! Tristan Driscoll Found Normz to be a very helpful and reliable business and they attend when they say and do a high standard of work. Would highly recommend. Matthew Kaprockyj Needed a leaking toilet and a kitchen tap replacement so contacted Normz Plumbing. I could have had next day appointment if I wanted but couldn’t due to work so got the day after. The plumber turned up on time and did a fantastic job fixing the issues and in good time. Communication prior to appointment was very good with quick replies. Will definitely use this company again for future jobs. Raffaele De Spirito Three weeks ago my ancient boiler completely packed up. Normz was brilliant he prioritised the boiler installation 2 days later as it was a weekend he did this straight away on Monday and finished the installation on Tuesday. He came back several times to check everything was working correctly and showed me how to use it. He is always at the end of the phone should you need any assistance or help even weeks later. An exemplary service. Normz always goes the extra mile for his customers and cares deeply about the work that he does to ensure it is of the highest quality. He always puts the customer first and I cant thank him enough for all his help. He is very highly recommended and I wouldnt use anyone else. Thanks again from Raffaele S M-B Had an outdoor tap fitted, quick and professional service at a good price.Load more
