How to choose
a reliable plumbing service in Kathmandu
Plumbing service in Kathmandu is often unreliable. Plumbers
who are self employed do not provide guarantee about their service. And there
are only a few organizations who provide plumbing services and most of them are
not reliable. Here are a few points which you should remember while considering
a person or an organization as your plumbing service.
1. Local Plumber in Kathmandu
If you are hiring a self employed plumber, it’s the best
when you hire a plumber of your previous acquaintance. You can make the plumber
of your acquaintance somehow responsible for his work. However, not even a
plumber of your acquaintance gives you a guarantee or warranty for your work.
And, self employed plumbers don’t have professional values and ethics and you
seldom receive the value for your money paid to them. That's why people nowadays are going for brand companies like Skill Sewa which also operates as a local plumber in Kathmandu.
2. Insurance
You have to make sure that the plumber coming to your house is insured for treatments in case of accidents. Plumbing job is dangerous because plumbers in Kathmandu often don’t use scaffolding when they have to fit storm pipes in the outer parts of the external walls. Plumbers sent by professional building and renovation companies like SkillSewa are fully insured. However, you can’t guarantee that a self-employed plumber is insured for accidents. You might have to pay a hefty amount yourself if your plumber is not insured and undergoes an accident.
3. Warranty and Guarantee for their works
Local plumbers in Kathmandu, plumbers
in Chitwan, plumbers in Butwal and Pokhara often don’t provide guarantee for
their works. They bring to your home various accessories on their home. Those
plumbing accessories look finished but are often built by companies that are
not branded. Such products don’t offer any warranty or guarantee. You often don’t
receive bills for your accessories too. However, companies offering plumbing
services in Kathmandu like SkillSewa offer warranty of material quality and
guarantee of services for their works.
4. Plumbers having Websites
Plumbing services in Kathmandu often
don’t have their own websites. Some of the local plumbers have their names kept
in the Google business, however, only a handful of them have websites. If you
find a plumbing service like SkillSewa which has its own website, Android and
IOS Applications, you can say that it is more reliable. Websites often have
blog sections where you can read how a particular problem related to plumbing
are solved. Companies having blog sections and google reviews often show that they
are responsible and are always willing to help at least only for the purpose of
keeping up their brand value.
5. Transparency about their Rates
Local plumbers seem transparent about
their works but they can’t give you a breakdown about their costs. They only
offer you the lump sum and if you do any bargains, they provide you low quality
plumbing material. Low quality plumbing material damages within weeks of their
use. You should always hire a person or a company which can give you a
breakdown about their cost of service. You can ask for a discount after you see
a breakdown in their cost of service. SkillSewa always give you the breakdown of
cost in your plumbing service and often offers you a discount too!!
6. Are they local person, company or an established Brand
It is always advisable to choose an established brand over local companies and people for plumbing services. Established brands like SkillSewa have branches opened in various cities of the countries. They provide guarantee for their works, provide you plumbers with accreditations and certifications and complete their job within a fixed frame of time. If the service provider is committed for their time, it saves time for you too!!
7. Reference of Works
We advise people and customers to seek out for references of works from their plumbers. Local plumbers are able to provide only a few references for their works. However, if you seek professional service from established companies like SkillSewa, you find a lot of reference of their works. You can see the reference in websites too. SkillSewa has given service to big companies like Malla Hotel, Nepal Electricity Authority, Vajra Academy and many others in the past. These references will always impact your decision while selecting a reputable plumber for your house.
8. Does your plumber offer other Services?
A home doesn’t require only plumbers.
It requires electricians, painters and sometimes contractors for frequent
repairs and maintenance. It is always easy to ask a one-door solution providers
for your home repair rather than searching for different people for different
services. Companies like SkillSewa provide you services like plumbing,
electricians, seepage mitigation services and complete home construction
service too. Having your home constructed by us will always provide you with guarantee
for plumbing and electrical works performed by us.
