Plumbing the right way

Some random blog in Seattle, USA

"Of course there are many plumbers to contact when you need a job done; however, you should contact someone that you trust. Although you can plumbers who only tackle drains and sewers, it is best to have one that can handle several types of problems. It might be very difficult to know what kind of professional help you were getting on your plumbing issue, when the plumber did not have professional credentials...."

I don't know about you but all of that stuff is kinda obvious isn't it? I see professional qualifications and memberships to all of the right trades bodies left right and centre but what I don't see if a 'TRUSTED' label next to their name.

Maybe our site should go ahead and develop a Label of Trust that we can all use for peace of mind. It could be like the London Taxi drivers 'knowledge' or that would takes years to master and pass. Of course all badge holders would have to resit the test every couple of years to be sure they havent fallen foul of any bad habits.
What would you say comes top of the list of best practice guidelines for plumbers?
I'd say no urinating in peoples sinks while they are making you a cup of tea. Its just not civilized is it?
