How we picked emergency plumbers in Paddington

Scores from customers come first, with a weight for how many back each score. Businesses that state their own after-hours or weekend cover, publish a licence number, and name the emergencies they attend move up. The emergency wording on each firm's own pages was checked, and a pick has to name the emergency jobs it attends.
