What plumbers can help with

For refits, a plumber can install sinks, toilets or showers and ensure everything is connected correctly. Clear access and a detailed brief help quotes stay accurate. Share photos where possible, note the property type and confirm whether you will supply fixtures or want the Plumber to provide them. If you know the fixture sizes or models, include them to help with parts and planning. Mention any recent leaks or repairs if relevant. Mention any areas where water needs isolating and whether access is tight. If the work is part of a refit, share the layout and schedule.
