Find a plumber by postcode / area

[mikimac]

I know there's a find a plumber area on ukplumbersforum but IMO it seems rather dated & not listed by area making it difficult for customers to use. If this has been mentioned before then please forgive me but couldn't the powers that be have a proper find a plumber by postcode or area (similar to GSR) that the members here could subscribe to. I would be happy to pay a subscription to cover costs in updating & general admin for the site & I'd rather give my £ to ukplumbersforum than to many others. Any thoughts guys?

The only Problem would be if the search engine turned up more then 1 - who'd be top of the list?

Good point. There would hopefully be a variety of jobs ie some gas, some oil, powerflushing etc & some would be interested & others not so it would be horses for courses. I suppose it would then be down to price etc & there could be a feedback system from customers.

You must struggle with holiday's abroad then! Seems like there's a lot if us down this way though!

Lol, Im all for supporting the British economy & why holiday abroad when the beaches in Cornwall on a hot summer beat anywhere I've been in years, no ash clouds or terror related delays & my digestive system is happy with the food on offer :cool3:

Sure, there are a lot of us everywhere but there will be work some can do (ie gas, oil, solar) where others might not be qualified or are weak in that area or are simply to busy to do.

What I'd like to see & have done for years is a facility run by plumbers (with an understanding of whats involved) for plumbers. It might work - or not. I don't think this type of 'in house' concept has been tried before.

Wasn't there a similar thing suggested in the arms before - bit like a find a trade website? Not sure what happened to that idea.

Hi Guys
I have been working on a few sites that would give plumbers a bit of free advertising for their businesses, I have already set one up in Essex and could do one for your areas if needed. these would be be fully updated as I know a lot of directories out there are just left.
Let me know your thoughts.
