The best plumbers in Belconnen

If you live in Belconnen and have a residential or commercial plumbing problem you need fixed quick sharp, you’ll know the importance of hiring a professional who operates in the area.

A qualified, experienced friendly plumber will ensure your waterworks are performing as they should be.

In this article, we’ll outline the qualities to consider when choosing one of the ACT’s best plumbers, and share where to find the best in Belconnen.

What makes a great plumber?

Good plumbers have the skills and experience to handle any plumbing need. Getting plumbing installed or repaired on the first go can save you time and money. It also assures you that the problem is truly fixed.

It can be helpful to keep the following in mind when choosing a plumber in Belconnen.

• Reliable and respectful. A professional plumber should arrive on time and be ready to work. The best treat your home like its their own. This means being careful with your property and belongings, keeping disruption to a minimum and tidying up when finished.
• Effective communication. You shouldn’t need a plumbing qualification to understand what your plumber is talking about. A great plumber will explain what the problem is and outline how it will be fixed, in language you can understand, so there are no surprises.
• Transparent pricing. Your plumber should be upfront with you about how much things will cost. Quotes and invoices should be detailed and transparent, with no unexpected fees or charges unless they’re discussed with you in advance.
• Quality parts and products. While using cheaper parts can save money in the short term, they generally don’t last as long and will need to be replaced sooner rather than later. For longevity and real value-for-money, look for a plumber who uses the best parts or products.
• Appropriate licences and insurances. In the ACT, all plumbers must be licensed and meet eligibility requirements, such as having completed a relevant qualification. Double check that the plumber you choose from Belconnen is licensed and has current public and products liability insurance to protect you if work doesn’t go to plan.

Important essentials to check before engaging a plumber

Master Plumbers ACT recommends you conduct these checks before engaging a plumber. They’re easy and only take five minutes. They’ll ensure you don’t engage a dodgy plumber.

1. Check that the plumber has a registered business by checking they’re registered through the Australian Business Registration website.
2. Check that the plumber is registered on the Access Canberra List of Licensed Plumbers. If you can’t find their name, they’re probably not licensed.
3. Check the plumber’s website and advertising. Make sure their ABN and license number are posted and check if they have Public Liability Insurance. Also check if they hold a membership in a reputable industry association such as Master Plumbers ACT. If they don’t have a website or don’t have this information on their site, it’s likely best to move on.
4. Ask the plumber you choose to bring proof of their Public Liability Insurance when they arrive on site.
