What do letting agents need from a plumber?
As a rule the landlord is responsible for the installation, the tenant for damage they cause. Supply pipes, sanitaryware, drains and heating fall to the landlord. The agreement can improve on the legal minimum and cannot undercut it.
Agents need somebody who turns up quickly and documents what was done. DM Plumbing Services takes enquiries from housing associations, letting agents, insurance companies and guest houses. It can work on a one off basis or as an ongoing maintenance arrangement.
What are the new responsibilities of a landlord in 2026?
Landlord duties change often enough that the only sound answer is to read the current GOV.UK guidance rather than an article. What has not moved is the plumbing basics: the installation is the landlord's and repairs must be carried out within a reasonable period.
What qualifications should a plumber have?
DM Plumbing Services works with City and Guilds qualified plumbers, in York and in the surrounding areas. Ask directly, because an honest answer takes one sentence.
Gas is the one area where the law is explicit: work on a gas appliance must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Check the register number rather than the card. For everything else it is qualifications, insurance and bathroom fitting Rawcliffe what previous customers say.
How much does it usually cost to unblock a drain?
It depends where the blockage is and how it has to be reached, so a figure quoted without seeing it is a guess. A trap under a sink and a blockage out in the drain run are two different jobs needing two different sets of kit.
What does a tiling service in Acomb cover?
Tiling stands or falls on the surface underneath it. A flexing wall or a moving floor cracks the grout however good the tiling was. Behind a shower, the waterproofing is the part doing the work.
DM Plumbing Services covers wall and floor tiling, and can supply the tiles, the adhesive and the grout or work with what you have chosen. Existing tiling can be repaired rather than replaced, which is often the answer.
