Local website helps business fight recession

Aug. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Compare Your Plumber aims to build a community of approved local tradesmen working in their own local communities to help them save time and money by working closer to home. Chris’ business, CNDL Plumbing, carries out general work and repairs as well as installing kitchens and bathrooms. He says: “I tried a couple of trade comparison websites to get more work in, but I ended up paying out more than I made. I only signed up with Compare Your Plumber a couple of months ago and already it’s helped me to get new customers.”

Many plumbers and local tradesmen looking for work will accept a job, even though it may involve travelling long distances, increased costs and waste valuable productive time. This website works by allocating postcode districts to each tradesman so they can keep their work local, get to the job quicker, at a lower cost, and then pass the savings onto the customer. It even makes weekend work more feasible.

The website uses a unique traffic light system to manage availability, allowing customers to see at a glance who is available for immediate call-out and then make direct contact with the registered plumber.

Chris says: “I’ve found it really good. Now I’m getting even more work as word of mouth spreads.”

Any tradesmen interested in joining the community website can visit www.compareyourplumber.com or call 0845 680 8680 for more information.
