A free expert guide to help members of the public ensure they choose a professional plumber for jobs around the home has been launched by a Portsmouth businessman.

Allan Rook is the managing director of Drain Doctor Plumbing, which covers Portsmouth and Southampton.  He has put together a guide packed with hints and tips as well as the tricks of the trade that will help people choose a plumber that will do a professional and cost effective job.

The guide, which is available completely free of charge in hard copy or over the telephone, covers topics such as how to avoid being ripped off by plumbers, mistakes to avoid when choosing a plumbing and drainage company and what the benefits of good service can be.

Allan, who is based on Macnaughten Road, Bitterne, said: “Choosing a plumber that is reputable and honest can be a bit tricky when faced with so many to choose from. That is the reasoning behind this guide.

“We want to raise awareness of what people should expect from a plumber. Things such as guarantees of work and after sales service are vitally important but may not always be considered.

“By following this guide people will have a much better understanding of what to look for in a plumber. This could save them a lot of hassle and money.”
