Finding a Plumber Made Easy
If you are anything like me then when something goes wrong in your home, panic mode turns on.
We seem to have a lot of things go wrong around here and while I normally end up calling my Dad for help.
It is always good to have other ways to quickly and easily get help for issues that are happening that’s where MyBuilder comes into play.
MyBuilder What’s That?
MyBuilder is a website which is a hub of tradesmen across the UK.
It puts you in contact quickly and easily with people who can help you with your issue.
Such as Plumbers in Birmingham.
Now before you start worrying, but I don’t know if they are genuine. After all, we all have these fears from time to time.
MyBuilder not only allows tradespeople to list themselves but also allows people to rate and review them.
Each person’s profile lists a picture, years in the trade, trades they skilled in, qualifications and a personal description.
There is also a quick low down on reviews, the number left, plus the percentage which are positive. While you can also read them through in the next tab along.
So How Do I Approach Someone?
Well, of course, you don’t want to just book outright.
You want to get in those quotes, so the first things to do is sent an invite to offer a quote to all those you like the sound of.
Once you have those in you are able to think over the responses.
If you aren’t sure who to approach yourself, then you can just post a job and not invite anyone in particular to respond.
Overall Impressions.
Personally, I am really impressed with the MyBuilder set up.
They have tried to think of everything when it comes to information you may want to know and allows you to approach a number of qualified people, simply and quickly and await their answers.
For people who aren’t able to rely on word of mouth and don’t want to just pick a random name from the phone book. This is the website to have to hand when on the hunt for a tradesperson.
What do you think of the sound of MyBuilder, have you ever used a website like it?

I’m always so thankful for websites like this- I never know where to start when hiring trades people, especially if I need them in a rush.
This is so cool! I’ve needed an emergency plumber quite a few times, so it’s always a plus when you can find one in a pinch and get to see their reviews.
It really is you never know when an accident is going to happen do you!
Plumbing problems always suck! Definitely important to know how to get a hold of a good plumber.
That is so true they are the worst thing to happen aren’t they!
Finding a good and reliable plumber is so important! It definitely can be hard to find though, this is great advice. Thanks for sharing!
It really is such an important thing you are letting them loose on your piping after all!
It’s such a good idea, although I’m also guilty of also ringing my dad when anything goes round despite being 32 and married with 3 kids! It’s always tricky knowing who can be trusted so these websites are a brilliant resource.
Dad’s are so useful haha! I honestly don’t know what I would do without the help of mine a lot of the time.
This is good advice. I love that each city has an online service for professionals too.
It is great isn’t it – such a simple and easy way to find someone you can trust.
Sounds like a great service!
This website sounds great – it is always tricky to know how to find trusted tradesmen, especially as I am a single mum. Kaz
Most definitely I still hate having people come into do things!
This may be useful of the normal recommendations route doesn’t get you someone. I find local Facebook groups I am a member of the most useful for tradesman recommendations.
They can be great as well – especially when a lot of people are recommending the same person you know your onto a winner then.
This sounds like a great idea and far better than the days of yellow pages where you never knew who was going to turn up. Sites like these help to keep people accountable x
That is so true – I think they sent out the last yellow pages ever this year and it was tiny!
This sounds super handy. I panic straight away too! I really like that they have a rating and reviewing system in place.
It is good isn’t it – makes you feel more secure in the people you are hiring I think.
You are lucky to find the website. I got the leaking pipe problem recently. Thank God the problem has diasappeared after my husband put up a new pipe.
Oh no what a nightmare for you – I am glad your husband was able to fix it.
It’s a great idea for people that have just moved to a new area and haven’t had the chance to make new friends and get recommendations from them!
It is so hard when your in that position isn’t it!
Luckily I never had to find a plumber, leaving in a shared flat and all but this would sure make it easier to find one when i’ll need one!
It’s useful when you don’t own you home sometimes isn’t it.
I almost used this site for something the other day, but I didn’t as I wasn’t sure how legit it was. I’ll definitely use it next time I’m after someone to help when things go wrong at home now I’ve read your post 🙂

Oh that is so interesting to hear – at least you know now! Woo! I hope it helps next time.
We have had the worst luck with repairs. I definitely need a more reliable way to find plumbers and other services. This sounds like a much better system than just crossing my fingers.
Oh no that is such a shame, I hope this helps you a little more in the future!
Yes it is hard to find a trusted plumber. Plumbing disaster happens unexpectedly.
It really can be, it’s good to have a website where you can check what real people think.
This sounds like a great resource, I hate the lottery of plucking a name off the internet and hoping for the best
It is so hard isn’t it – you are trusting them with such an important thing.
