Consumer Awareness Campaign Risks of using ‘dodgy plumbers’

As we all know too well, ‘dodgy plumbers’ and other unqualified operators such as well-meaning handymen are a constant problem in our industry. Not only do they take business away from licensed plumbing contractors and their employees, but they often create expensive problems for customers. We are fighting back by running an advertising campaign on 6PR to get the important message out to consumers about why they should choose a Master Plumber.

As well as directing consumers to the ‘Find a Master Plumber’ directory on our website, the ads are educating them about the risks of using unqualified people and why they can trust our members. The campaign, which began at the beginning of August and will run until further notice, features a mixture of ‘live read’ and recorded ads. A regional campaign will commence in September.
