ā€œThey turned up when they said they wouldā€

Which sounds like it should be the bare minimum... but judging by the conversations we’ve had with homeowners lately, it isn’t always

We’ve lost count of the number of people who’ve told us stories about waiting in all day for a tradesman who never arrived, chasing quotes that never came, or simply being left wondering what was going on

Being a good plumber isn’t just about fitting bathrooms, fixing leaks or installing radiators

It’s about communication

It’s about reliability

It’s about treating people’s homes and time with respect

If we say we’ll be there, we’ll be there

If we’re running late, we’ll let you know

If we’ve promised to call, we’ll call

Because trust isn’t built by doing one big thing brilliantly

It’s built by doing lots of little things consistently well

And judging by this customer’s kind words, we’re doing something right ā¤ļø

I’m not going to name any names in this story

But have you ever ignored your satnav because you knew of a better route

And then ended up exactly where it told you not to go?

Nooo my mum would never do this

Not on a day of the week that ends in R at least

My sister and I deffo didn’t spend many more hours in the car as kids because she knew better than the satnav 😳

Some people just need to think they know better

But I tell you who does know better

Homeowners

The current popular trend is to bin the bath in the main bathroom and swap it out for a walk in shower

But this customer knew the family still needed a bath

So a bath we replaced, and upgraded the rest of the room whilst we were at it

One of my favourite things in my job is every customers unique requests

Grandkids was their reason

Have a great rest of your day

I think we can both agree it’s a bit warm to be thinking about your heating today, isn’t it?

But that’s exactly what you’re going to do… and let me tell you why

Because every year, the second temperatures drop, we get flooded with:

ā€œMy heating’s stopped workingā€

ā€œMy boiler won’t fire upā€

ā€œOne radiator isn’t workingā€

ā€œWe’ve got no hot waterā€

And the reason is simply:

Because the system has been completely ignored for the past 6 months

So here’s my advice today šŸ‘‡

Even during summer, turn your heating on for 10-15 minutes every few weeks

It helps stop pumps and valves from sticking after sitting unused for months

Which is one of the really common causes of problems when autumn arrives

Think of it like starting your car after it’s been sat on the driveway for ages

A tiny bit of maintenance now can save a BIG headache later in the year

Apparently professional tennis player Coco Gauff and her team head to the practise court after every match

Whether the match was a win or loss

Even at grand slams

Why?

To iron out any weaknesses that might have cropped up

So she doesn’t take the same mistakes into the following match

Wow I have some top tier admiration for that

But I guess.. there’s a reason she’s a grand slam champion...

And it just goes to show success comes from doing the work that nobody will ever see

The hours of grind on the tennis court for Coco

The wiring inside the boiler for us

Oh wait… did I just make this story about gas work? Haha

But it’s a valid point, right?

Quality of work breeds success

And I’m no grand slam tennis champion

But we like the tidy look

It’s the bit of work the customer doesn’t really see

Or take notice of

But the aesthetic of that wiring matters to us

We are the glad slam champions of Basingstoke plumbing and gas work

Well, that’s the word in Festival Place anyway šŸ˜›
