Press Release Summary = With reports of plumbers earning £100,000+ a year and
charging huge hourly rates it is nice to see that some plumbers are willing to give
help to consumers entirely without charge.

It may sound far fetched to be able to find qualified plumbers willing to help
members of the public to solve their plumbing problems free of charge. Plumbers in
the UK usually get a pretty bad press, but in fact a growing number are willing to
give up hours of their time to help others, just for the satisfaction of helping
someone out.

Free Advice From UK Qualified Plumbers !

With reports of plumbers earning £100,000+ a year and charging huge hourly rates it
is nice to see that some plumbers are willing to give help to consumers entirely for
free.

A recent Which report found that Plumbers hourly rates ranged from £9 in Wales up to
£130 in the South East with many plumbers charging a call out fee on top. The
increasingly high cost of plumbing services is a reflection of supply and demand.
The Construction Industry Training Board calculates that by 2008 the UK will need an
extra 32,000 plumbers just to keep up with the growing demand.

It may sound far fetched that anyone would be able to find qualified plumbers
willing to help members of the public solve their plumbing problems free of charge.
Plumbers in the UK usually get a pretty bad press, but in fact a growing number are
willing to give up hours of their spare time, just for the satisfaction of helping
someone out.

This is exactly what is happening on the newly re-launched web site
www.plumbingpages.com

The site has a forum where members of the public can ask a question about their
plumbing or heating problem and get comprehensive, step by step, help from a
qualified plumber.

James Hickman, owner of the site said:

\"We have had over 2,500 different questions in the technical help forum with more
questions being asked at the rate of 20-30 a day. It is not uncommon for 3-4
different plumbers to get involved in solving a tricky problem with someone\'s
boiler. People ask questions on everything from how to fix a leaky tap right through
to how do I install solar heating. There always seems to be someone qualified to
answer and willing to help. We don\'t pay them to do it, they do it simply because
they enjoy helping other people\"


It seems that despite their reputation at least some of Britain\'s plumbers are not
purely out for a quick buck.
