Choosing the Right Plumbing & Roofing Company
Undertaking plumbing works or re-roofing your property requires careful planning and the right team of professionals.
Major plumbing and roofing jobs need experienced and knowledgeable tradespersons, and ensuring you choose the right company is a crucial decision.
The plumbing and roofing company you choose will significantly impact the outcome of your project.
For complex and costly plumbing & roofing jobs it is important to go with a reputable, established, and ideally local business who has the expertise, resources and skill set required to handle the job… and deal with any challenges that might arise.
There are several things to consider when choosing the right company for your plumbing and roofing project, some elements to think about include-
Registered, Licenced and Insured – compliant companies are appropriately licenced with QBCC and hold Public Liability, Workers Compensation and Professional Indemnity Insurance. Customers should check that the company is a legitimate business with an active ABN and is registered for GST.
Safety Protocols – the right company prioritises safety and will provide information about safety measures before undertaking the project, such as including scaffolding, edge protection, or harness fees within the quote. A written outline of the safety measures being used should be made available when requested.
Transparent Quotes and Contracts – quotes should be written and clearly outline the work and provide specifics on the measurements and materials being used. Good companies share specification sheets about products and quote for various options. The quote should be reasonable and if it is unusually cheaper than other companies, this might be a red flag! You should also be provided with an easy-to-read contract that outlines the scope of work, any exclusions, and the project timelines.
Lead Times – there is a shortage of licenced and experienced plumbers and roofers, that is just a simple fact. Reputable companies who consistently deliver effective outcomes are in-demand and will have a lead time. If the company is immediately available, it might be worth considering why.
Reputation & Reviews – Google search the company, check out their website and social media pages, and ask around. Listen to what people who have used the business have to say. If you cannot easily leave or find written reviews or see a website, and you don’t know anyone who has heard of the business before, then the company is likely not well-established enough to trust with major work.
Previous Projects – what work has the company previously completed and who else has trusted the business before? A reputable plumbing and roofing company will have images of their work easily accessible online and will be able to discuss previous projects with you.
Warranty & Guarantee – the right business will outline warranty periods of the materials used and will provide a guarantee on their work. You should be given after-project support if needed and this is a good reason why choosing a local business is valuable. Sadly, Davies Plumbing & Roofing have been called in to review and repair work for out-of-town businesses many times. Non-local businesses usually have expensive travel fees and will place limits on any after-project support for regional areas.
