Artisan Plumbers :: Plumbing & Heating Engineers with 21st Century Artisan Skills.

Please Support Jersey Tradesmen

If you look in the Jersey Telecom Yellow Pages for Plumbers you will find a large choice of very able and qualified LOCAL Plumbing and Heating Engineers listed.

The photo on the left demonstrates that some residents will employ off island sub contractors (E TOULSON & SON 19 Coxwold Road, Stockton-on-Tees) to undertake work that local plumbers are most probably more qualified to do and remain here after the job has finished. Any problems with the work will the off island contractor be able to visit and attend to it?

I wonder if who ever is employing this contractor is fully aware of the Jersey Regulations and Undertakings Law?

Jersey is not immune to the global economic downturn and, as the States of Jersey are introducing measures to finance and stimulate the local economy, it would be an advantage for all Jersey residents to recognise that we want to ensure that local jobs are for local trades people.

Local tradesmen have the same living costs that all residents of Jersey have to endure. An off island contractor does not have those financial constraints, their prices are suited to where they live and where they will be returning to once their contract is completed. There can also be an impact on training for apprentices in Jersey if off island contractors are encouraged to come to Jersey to undertake contracts that the tradesmen of Jersey are more than capable of fulfilling.

Think local, Buy local, Train local!

"The bitterness of poor quality workmanship remains long after the sweetness of a low price has been forgotten!"
