matt h get a sence of humour check ! all trades have good and bad . you well may be sh*t hot ,reliable and fair priced. but on the whole plumbers are the most expensiveof all the trades. All i am saying is if you are paying the price you expect a bit of service. I am picking my plumber up at 8.00am tom as his van got a broken clutch,having let me down last 2 days (clutch not his fault ) via merchants paying him £160.00 a day . only doing it because the plasterer (£150 per day starting saturday ) needs to fill in the chasing out from the plumber and electrician (£130 perday ) . Forget the wife and you being the jack of all trades who is taking the pi*s.
