Plumbers Near You
Leaks, blockages and new installations all need a reliable plumber. Describe the problem, add photos, and local plumbers can quote before they visit.
What plumbers can help with
On Arkadia Connect, plumbers take on jobs such as these. If your job is not on the list, describe it in your own words and pick the closest trade.
- Leaks and burst pipes
- Blocked drains and toilets
- Bathroom and kitchen plumbing
- Outside taps
- Water pressure problems
Plumbers deal with everything from a dripping tap to a new bathroom. If water is escaping, say so and mention where your stopcock is, because a plumber may be able to help you make things safe before they arrive.
What to include in your plumber job post
The clearer your description, the easier it is for a tradesperson to quote accurately. A good job post includes:
- Your postcode, so the right local traders are alerted
- What needs doing, and roughly how big the job is
- Photos or a short video of the work area, plus parking and access details
- Any deadline, and whether the job is urgent
- Say what is leaking or not working, where it is, and roughly how old the pipes and fittings are.
How to choose a plumber
Each profile shows badges for the checks our team has made, such as ID checked or Insurance uploaded. A badge tells you what we looked at, not that we recommend the trader, so read the profile and ask questions. Reviews on Arkadia come from jobs booked through Arkadia, so every review is real.
Worth checking before you hire:
- Public liability insurance, with the certificate shown before work starts
- WaterSafe approval for any work on the mains water supply
- Gas Safe registration if any gas appliances are part of the job
- A written quote that lists parts, labour and any call-out charge
Ask whether the plumber holds the right registration if any gas appliances are involved, and check what the profile says about the checks our team has made.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a plumber cost?
Prices depend on the size of the job, the materials and how easy the work is to reach, so the most reliable way to know is to compare written quotes. Post your job for free and local plumbers can quote for the work you need.
Should I get more than one quote?
Yes. Comparing two or three written quotes for the same work, materials and timescale helps you spot anything missing or unusually priced.
How can I check a plumber is insured?
Ask to see their public liability insurance certificate before any work starts, and check it covers the type of work you need. Look for the Insurance uploaded badge on a profile, but we do not assess the cover, so confirm the insurance yourself.
How many plumbers will contact me?
Only up to 3 traders can take up each job, so you hear from a few plumbers who want the work rather than a crowd. If nobody replies within 24 hours, we step in.
What should a written quote include?
A clear description of the work, the materials and who supplies them, the price or payment stages, the start date and estimated timescale, and what happens if the job changes.
