Frenchie, e-mail me at wagnfares at hotmail dot com. I can give you the number of a good plumber based in Hertford who might be able to fit you in.

And repost if you don't get any joy. I will try to find the number of the guy who sorted my bolier out last year. It had the same problem.

Frenchie, your message is most opportune and whilst mine is not directly related to plummers there are two connected things. Getting someone reliable to perform any kind of local service can be a minefield and picking somebody random out of Yellow Pages or the Thomson Directory can prove to be very trying. From my experience word of mouth counts for a huge amount and the recommendation from someone counts for so much more than a flashy advert. And so to my two points...... 1. Wouldn't this forum be an ideal place to leave comments when they have received a good or, equally importantly, bad service from a particular supplier, whether they be a plummer, electrician or whatever. 2. The lock on my patio door is buggered, anybody know a good locksmith?

One of the problems is that good tradesmen get lots of work through word of mouth, so much so that they are fully booked some time ahead. I have a very good plumber but his diary is full for the next four weeks! Ditto my roofer.

I was with British Gas before.........then without telling us they changed the cover and the shower and pump was no longer covered by the scheme. No more. I suppose I am lucky. I'll have a go at most things myself (any excuse to buy more power tools!). Plus my dad is an electrical engineer. And so is my brother. And my brother is corgi registered as well so the gas is covered. And my friend used to repair washing machines for a living. And before that he installed TV aerials. Having said that, I will always try something myself if I can.

We have both a good plumber and a good carpenter, both very realistically priced. Dennis and Tom. This is to remind me to post their telephone numbers on this site when I get home. For example, Tom charges £100 a day, so it is a good idea to have a lot of jobs lined up for him. I will post the numbers later.
