FAQ

Common questions about plumbers in Ayr

How do you choose the top plumber in Ayr?

We score every published business on a combination of average customer rating and total review count, filtered through a 4.5★ minimum. The composite favours businesses with both high ratings AND a meaningful number of reviews — so a 5-star plumber with 3 reviews won't outrank a 4.9-star one with 200. No paid placements, no sponsorship.

How often is the list refreshed?

Every quarter. If a business drops below 4.5★ or shuts down, they're removed and the next-best Ayr plumber moves up. Badges already earned remain valid — winning a 2026 Top 5 award doesn't get retroactively revoked.

Does it cost anything to be listed?

No. Listings are free — we don't accept payment for placement, sponsorship, or featured spots. Submit your business via Get listed for consideration in the next refresh.

I'm one of the listed businesses — can I edit my listing?

Yes. Each profile page has a "Claim this listing" button. Verify your business email, then you can edit your description, add photos, set your hours and link to your website. Free.

I'd like my business removed

No problem. Use the removal request form — actioned within 7 days, no questions asked.
