Hi All,

Does anyone know of any good and reputable plumbers that service the Castlereagh area? Obviously cost is a factor and they need to be competive. I checked a few people out online but would prefer to actually hear from someone who has actually used the said plumbers.

Thanks.

    What kind of job do you need doing?

    It's quite small such as tap replacements, water pressure checks, plugs in a few sinks etc.

    Don't think many plumbers will be wanting to quote for minor jobs, maybe just quickly fix what's required on the site visit?

    Got caught like that before and it ran into big bucks.

    Don't quote then don't use.

    Don't worry they send people out to quote all jobs, I just contacted them.

    Putting your own stamp on the place then? Best of luck, we've been doing it for five years now and are considerably lighter in funds - like £25,000 :eek:

    Hi All,

    Does anyone know of any other firms? AGS have been a disappointment. They did arrive out fairly prompty when contacted, however some of the work they did is now giving problems. I've been in touch five times now over two weeks and they are yet to advise on a return date. I just got a call from the firm looking payment for their first visit but I said this would not be happening until the work they were paid to do was completed to the correct standard.
