(PRWEB UK) 4 April 2013

Sandra Everett, Senior Marketing Manager at Plumbfix explains that for many plumbers, finding a way to get through the snow and ice was a priority to ensure they were not letting down valuable and loyal customers.

Providing Berrylands emergency plumbers, Plumber 24 Hours also provides plumbers throughout the country, including some of the worst hit areas, such as Nottingham, Leeds and Glasgow. The company works hard to ensure its customers are provided with a fast and efficient worker in their local area. Naturally the team were pleased to hear of the recent statistics. Company founder, Martin Smith, shares his thoughts on the subject.

Its great to see that so many plumbers were able to provide an excellent service despite the bad conditions. Whilst safety should always be a priority, by ensuring that you, your vehicle and tools are all equipped for the snow, and that you allow extra time for your journey, it is possible to meet the majority of demands. Naturally the cold weather sees an increase in calls, and with the cold weather extending into spring, were expecting this to last a while longer.

Plumber 24 Hours Celebrates Plumbing Reliability during March

Posted on: 4:39 pm, April 5, 2013, by Mike Mather, updated on: 08:53am, April 6, 2013

He could be sentenced to 10 years in prison, but that length of punishment is unlikely because he pleaded guilty and is cooperating with federal prosecutors. Prosecutors submitted to the court a statement of facts that Zoby agreed was a fair portrayal of the scheme. The document says Zoby frequently left envelopes with money inside for a Norfolk plumbing supervisor identified in court records as Michael D. Brown. Brown has also been charged with bribery. Zobys statement says the money helped him get more frequent city work.

Zoby also admitted he performed as much as $17,000 in plumbing work at rental properties owned in part by another city supervisor. In exchange, according to Zobys statement, Zoby and the supervisor worked together to fake invoices that the city would pay. That helped Zoby make back the bribes, prosecutors said.

Zoby told the judge he once had a drug problem and had sought treatment in the 1990s, but said that wasnt an issue now.

Zoby was allowed to leave court on bond until his sentencing in July. He ducked into a cream-colored Cadillac Escalade idling outside the courthouse and blocking traffic. Zoby was accompanied by another man acting as some sort of valet or bodyguard. Zoby did not speak.

The specialists at Emergency Plumber have responded to warnings from the fire service, following two incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning in homes in Wales.

(PRWEB UK) 3 April 2013

Both families were successfully treated, however the outcome could have been much more tragic and the fire service reiterated the importance of getting boilers checked. Carbon monoxide is so deadly because it is tasteless and odourless and can kill fast. Best known for their London emergency plumbers, the team at Emergency Plumber also offers Gas Safe Registered engineers throughout the country. A representative from the firm shares their thoughts on the matter.

We cannot stress enough the importance of getting home appliances such as boilers, as well as ovens and fridge freezers, checked at least once a year by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. These should also be the only people that install, maintain or fix your appliances too. However, this is not a substitute for ensuring your home has a working carbon monoxide alarm.

You can buy audible alarms from supermarkets and DIY stores for around 15. Remember to check yours is marked to EN 50291 and contains the British Standards kitemark, or another European approved organisations mark on it. It is also important to make yourself and your family familiar with the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The team at Emergency Plumber are dedicated to promoting Gas Safety.

Emergency Plumber Responds to Carbon Monoxide Warnings

The specialists at Emergency Plumber have responded to a fall in the turnover of companies in partnership of the Building Engineering Services Association (B&ES).

(PRWEB UK) 2 April 2013

However, the silver lining appears to be that the drop during the second half of 2012 was not as steep as that experienced during the first part of the year.

Providing highly trained London emergency plumbers, Emergency Plumber also offers efficient workers throughout the country. Regularly researching the latest industry updates and developments, the news was naturally of concern to the team. A representative shares their thoughts on the matter.

Whilst it is disheartening to see a dip in figures, what we should remember is that the rate of this decline is slowing. During the current economic climate all business sectors are affected and hopefully the next set of results will have more positive findings.

Whilst the engagement of apprentices and trainees were said to have fallen during this period, we have had some more encouraging news recently in the form of British Gas promising to create 1000 new jobs for the young and unemployed. Successful candidates will be installing energy efficient systems into UK households.

The team at Emergency Plumber continue to research and respond to the latest industry news.

Plumber 24 Hours Responds To British Gas Job Opportunities

Norfolk, Va. Construction workers cooperating with federal investigators told them Norfolk plumber Andrew T. Zoby Jr. billed the city for repairs done by highly skilled workers, but most often used lower-priced regular laborers for the job, sources told NewsChannel 3.

According to the sources, Zoby kept the difference in pay rates leading to an overbilling of taxpayers. Federal authorities say Zoby spent nearly $40,000 in cash and services to bribe a pair of city workers in exchange for city jobs. The court documents say Zoby made back that money with fraudulent invoices submitted for payment.

Zobys pricing agreement with the city dictated the highest rates were paid to workers with credentials such as journeymen, plumbers and master plumbers. According to city documents released to NewsChannel 3, work by a master plumber was billed to the city at $40 an hour, four times more than a less-skilled worker like a plumbers helper. A master plumbers overtime rate was billed to the city as $60 per hour.

Asked about the sources claims, Zobys attorney James Broccoletti said in an email: He has no such charges pending nor are any further federal charges expected. No such allegations are present in the matters now pending.

The federal documents have not identified either city worker under investigation. They are referred to only as Person A and Person B. Sources told NewsChannel 3 Person A is no longer working for the city, but Person B is. Sources identified Person B as longtime city worker Patrick Lambert, a supervisor at the citys energy plant. On Thursday when NewsChannel 3 asked Lambert about the bribery case, he would only say no comment. He has not been charged with any crime.

Zoby has not yet been summoned to federal court. Lawyers in the federal system said that because Zoby is charged under something called criminal information and not indictment, that indicates Zoby is likely cooperating with authorities. No one else has been charged in this case.

The specialists behind Emergency Plumber have commented on news that sales of work wear from Plumbfix have seen a dramatic increase over the winter months.

(PRWEB UK) 29 March 2013

However, with temperatures this year already well below average alongside snowy and icy conditions, the increase in sales could also be partly attributed to a higher demand in the industry. On average a cold spring increases the amount of call-outs by approximately 40%.

Best known for their London emergency plumbers, the team at Emergency Plumber take a keen interest in news and developments within the market. A representative from the firm shares their thoughts on the matter.

It is interesting to see such an increase in sales of work wear during such tough financial times. Naturally the cold weather has given the plumbing industry a boost, but also the attitude of plumbers and electricians themselves. Here at Emergency Plumber we offer only the most highly trained workers, however we also understand that the presentation and professionalism of our staff is just as important.

All of our plumbers are friendly and efficient and always take care to put our customers at ease. With the cold weather set to continue it can become difficult to find a local plumber in your area but we offer engineers throughout the country.

Emergency Plumber continues to research the latest industry updates.
