COLIN Stainer is the perfect plumber, according to a happy customer whose nomination to make him Britain's Favourite Plumber has already made him a Wiltshire winner.

Mr Stainer, who runs his business from his home in Somerset Road, Salisbury, does not know who nominated him - but they could both be in for prizes if he wins the big title.

As a county winner, Mr Stainer receives a certificate. The national winner's prizes include a trip to Berlin next May for the World Plumbing Conference.

Mr Stainer (51) established his own plumbing and heating business 12 years ago after leaving Salisbury builders RS Bevis.
