Want a clearer idea of what you might pay? Take a look at our plumber cost guide.

That depends on the job.

  • Hourly rate – Good for small jobs where you might need flexibility (like fixing a leak).

Find the right plumber for the job in Nottingham

  • What does a plumber do?

    Plumbers are responsible for fitting and maintaining water systems in both domestic and commercial buildings. They’re typically responsible for working with pipework, heating systems, toilets, baths, showers, sinks, washing machines and dishwashers.

    Depending on their individual experience and qualifications, local plumbers carry out a wide range of jobs, from fixing a leaking tap and unblocking toilet to installing boilers and new heating systems. In order to work with gas appliances, plumbers will need to be suitably qualified and ideally registered as a Gas Safe engineer in the UK.

    The working day of a plumber will often include working on many of the following plumbing jobs:

    • Fixing leaks and damaged water systems

    • Unblocking or repairing drainage systems

    • Installing, repairing or replacing pipework and fittings

    • Installing central heating systems and domestic heating appliances

    • Servicing water systems and fixing faults

    • Responding to emergency call-outs such as floods or broken boilers

    Common jobs for plumbers in Nottingham

    If you're a homeowner, or even renting a property, chances are you’re going to need a plumber at some stage. And in many cases, you won’t realise you need a plumbing company until the problem has become an emergency.

    Here are the most common jobs that plumbers get hired for in Nottingham:

    • Blocked drains – Not the most pleasant of jobs, but it’s amazing how often drains get blocked and need professional attention from a plumber to fix the problem.

    • Running toilet – A toilet that continuously runs after you flash it will be wasting a lot of water and needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

    • Dripping taps – Drips can be one of those little annoying problems that you constantly put off fixing but should be dealt with quickly to avoid wasting water.

    • Low water pressure – A weak shower can often be the symptom of a build up in the shower head or pipework, which leads to clogging and reduced water flow.

    • Leaking pipes – This is particularly common in older properties where pipework might be old and worn, and leaks can quickly cause visible water damage. Leaks can often be a sign of a bigger problem so it’s best to call a local plumber as soon as possible.

    • Appliance plumbing installation and maintenance – Washing machines and dishwashers are wonderful features to have in your home, as long as they’re installed properly and well-maintained.

  • What questions should I ask a plumber before hiring them?

    When it comes to getting the right plumber for the job, it’s important to have a chat with them about the problem you need fixing or the work you need them to do. And as part of this conversation, it’s often very useful to ask a bunch of questions so that you’re clear on what they can do, how much they charge and when they can get the job done.

    Questions to ask a plumber

    We’ve put together a list of questions that you might find it useful to ask when you’re speaking to local plumbers working in Nottingham.

    • How long have you been in the plumbing business for?

    • What qualifications and/or accreditations do you have?

    • Can you provide me with your license and/or ID details?

    • Have you done similar plumbing installation jobs in Nottingham before?

    • Do you have Public Liability Insurance?

    • Do you offer any sort of service quality guarantee?

    • Do you charge a fixed price or per hour/day?

    • What are your hourly or daily rates?

    • Do you charge a call out fee?

    • Can you provide a detailed quote with a breakdown of all the costs?

    • How long do you think the job will take?

    • When can you come and do the work?

    It’s important that you’re confident that you’re hiring a plumber who can do the job to the right standard. When speaking to them, you should be able to get a feel for their attitude and approach to their work.

    Choosing the right plumber

    If you speak to a plumber and they’re hesitant to answer your questions, or they give you answers that make you doubt their ability to do the work, move on and find another plumber who can fill you with confidence.

    At the end of the day, you want to hire a plumber who is friendly to work with, skilled to do the work, and will achieve the result that you want.

  • How can I check if a plumber is licensed?

    When it comes to the wellbeing of your and your home, it’s important that you hire a plumber who will carry out their work safely and securely and to a professional standard. Being a licensed plumber and/or having the relevant plumber qualifications is a sign that they take their trade seriously and that they will work to certain standards, governed by their licensing body.

    In the UK, there are a number of licenses that a plumber can have, depending on the nature of the work. Two of the most important plumber licenses for you to check for are WaterSafe and the Gas Safe Register.

    WaterSafe approved plumbers

    WaterSafe is an online directory for competent and qualified plumbers in the UK. All WaterSafe approved plumbers are certified by their national accreditation body, which specifically focuses on training plumbers in the UK’s Water Fittings Regulations and Byelaws.

    By hiring a WaterSafe approved plumber you can be confident that they will work to a high standard and do their best to conserve water and improve water systems in the best way possible.

    You can check if a plumber is WaterSafe approved by using the Watersafe approved plumber search tool.

    Registered Gas Safe engineers

    The Gas Safe Register is the official list of tradespeople and businesses that are legally permitted to carry out gas work in the UK. All registered Gas Safe engineers are issued with a Gas Safe ID card, which details the type of gas work that they are permitted to do.

    Many plumbers are also registered Gas Safe engineers, but not all engineers are qualified to do all types of gas work. Therefore, it’s important that you check the plumber’s ID card before they carry out any gas work in your home.

    If you need to find a plumber with the appropriate plumber qualifications to carry out gas work, you can use the Gas Safe find an engineer search tool online.

    All Checkatrade members have been checked by our team to verify any qualifications they hold, so that you can be confident that any information on their profile is valid and accurate. Search for plumbers now!

  • Can a plumber work on a boiler?

    The answer depends on the individual plumber, their skills and experience, and the type of boiler you have.

    Some plumbers will be qualified to work on a boiler and many will be Gas Safe registered so they’ll be able to carry out work on gas boilers and other gas appliances.

    That said, not all plumbers will have the necessary know-how and qualifications to work on your boiler.

    For that reason, it’s always important to check each plumber’s skills and experience to ensure that the tradesperson you hire is the right person for the job.

    Find out more in our handy guide: Does a plumber fix boilers?

    Is the plumber Gas Safe registered?

    If you have a gas boiler, check that they’re actively registered to work on gas boilers on the Gas Safe Register.

    It’s a legal requirement that any tradespeople who work on gas appliances are Gas Safe registered.

    Thankfully it’s quick and easy to search the Gas Safe Register online, either by using the tradesperson’s company name or registration number.

    You should also ask to see their Gas Safe ID card when they arrive at your home, and check that it’s valid (as they need to update their registration every year).

    A genuine Gas Safe ID card will show the following information:

    • Photo of the Gas Safe plumber

    • Their unique registration number

    • Start and expiry dates of their registration

    • A security hologram

    • Any affiliated business name

    If you have any doubts or concerns about whether a plumber is certified to carry out work on your gas boiler, do not hire them – and you can even report them to the Gas Safe register, if needed.

    Benefits of hiring an experienced boiler plumber

    There are a number of very good reasons why it’s a good idea to hire a qualified boiler plumber to work on your boiler:

    • Experienced and certified tradespeople will offer you a professional level of service

    • Boilers require specialist know-how to effectively install, maintain and repair them

    • Skilled boiler plumbers engineers know what to look out for and how to avoid future issues with your boiler and heating system

  • Can a plumber fix central heating?

    It is important that you hire the right tradesperson to fix your central heating. Plumbers are qualified to fix some central heating issues but not all.

    You will need to hire a Gas Registered heating engineer for the following jobs:

    • Fixing a gas leak

    • Installing a gas boiler

    • Fitting new gas pipes

    • Repairing a gas boiler

    While only a Gas Safe registered tradesperson can carry on the above tasks, a plumber will be able to fix several other common central heating problems.

    Central heating fixes provided by plumbers include:

    • Change radiators

    • Powerflush radiators

    • Fit TRV (thermostatic radiator valve)

    • Install towel rails

    Read our expert guide to find out whether you need to hire a plumber or a heating engineer.

    We also recommend discussing the details of your job before hiring a tradesperson to make sure you are hiring the right tradesperson for your needs.

  • Do plumbers fix leaking radiators?

    Yes. A plumber or a heating engineer will be qualified to fix a leaking radiator.

    If you can identify why your radiator is leaking, you may be able to fix the problem yourself. If you just need to tighten up a radiator spindle, you probably won’t need to call a plumber.

    If the leak is caused by damage such as corrosion, however, you’ll need to hire a plumber.

  • When should you call an emergency plumber?

    Emergency plumbers have the flexibility to come quickly no matter the time, and if you have a serious plumbing issue, calling someone ASAP is essential. If you aren't sure what’s considered a plumbing emergency, below is a list of scenarios where you’ll need to hire an emergency plumber:

    • Blocked toilet - If you have more than one blocked toilet, you may not be in a hurry to call a plumber. However, a blocked toilet can pose a risk to your health and is considered an emergency.

    • Zero water - If you turn on your taps and no water comes out, this is classed as a plumbing emergency

    • Burst pipes - Getting a plumber to fix burst pipes should be done immediately to minimise damage

    • Floods - Big water leaks can cause serious damage to your home and should be dealt with as a priority

    • Running taps - Taps that won’t switch off can lead to leaks and flooding so need to be repaired as soon as possible

    • Dirty water - If the water coming out of your taps is dirty, this needs to be fixed as a priority

  • When should I call a plumber for a clogged toilet?

    Knowing when to call a plumber for a blocked toilet will depend on several factors. The most common reasons to call a plumber for a blocked toilet are:

    • A plunger hasn’t worked after five to ten minutes

    • Corrosive chemicals haven’t worked

    • The toilet is overflowing

    • The toilet won’t stop running

    • Your sewer drain is leaking

    • The blockage has been caused by a foreign object (eg. A child’s toy, electronic device, a sanitary pad or nappy etc)

    These problems will not be easily resolved without a plumber.

  • What is the difference between a bathroom fitter and a plumber?

    In simple terms, a plumber works with all water systems and connected ancillaries including pipes, taps, baths, boilers etc.

    A bathroom fitter removes old bathroom suites and installs new bathroom suites.

    There is a lot of crossover between plumbers and bathroom fitters. Many plumbers will offer full bathroom installation services. While many bathroom fitters will also undertake more general plumbing work.

  • Do plumbers fix shower leaks?

    Yes. Leaky showers are one of the most common jobs for local plumbers. They can diagnose the problem and repair or replace parts like valves, seals or pipes.
