How we picked hot water plumbers in Rose Bay
Plumbers are ordered by their customer score, weighted by how many customers scored them. Businesses move up when they state their own after-hours work, publish a licence number, are based in the suburb, and describe hot water jobs on their own pages. Each pick was then checked for the hot water work it names, so a plumber with strong scores but no hot water work doesn't make the list.
