From a dripping tap in Kings Heath to a full bathroom refit in Harborne, post your job free and hear from Birmingham plumbers who actually cover your postcode. Compare profiles, reviews and quotes, then choose who to hire. No obligation.
Birmingham has one of the largest pools of working plumbers in the UK outside London, which sounds like good news until you have to pick one. Ringing round directories means repeating your job to answering machines all afternoon. Posting the job once and letting interested local plumbers come to you is faster, and it means the people who respond have already read what you need and want the work.
A lot of Birmingham housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, particularly in areas like Moseley, Stirchley, Selly Oak and Small Heath. Older properties often mean older pipework: lead supply pipes still turn up in unmodernised homes, imperial-sized fittings need adaptors, and decades of partial repairs can make a "small" leak a bigger job than it looks. A good local plumber will have seen it all before and will price for the property in front of them rather than a textbook job.
As a rough guide, plumbers in Birmingham typically charge somewhere between £40 and £70 an hour, with small jobs like a tap replacement often quoted as a fixed price. Bathroom installations, unvented cylinder work and anything involving gas will be priced as a project. Getting two or three quotes through Trade Request is the only reliable way to know the fair local price for your particular job.
One legal point worth knowing: if any part of your job touches the boiler or gas pipework, whoever does the work must be on the Gas Safe Register. Many Birmingham plumbers are also registered gas engineers, but never assume. Ask to see the card, and check the type of work it covers.

Yes. When you post your job you can mark it as urgent, which tells local plumbers you need someone quickly. While you wait, turn off the water at the stop valve (usually under the kitchen sink or where the supply enters the house) to limit any damage.
