Plumber is at fault. But You are to in that you should have replied that he cannot go till the both of you set up on a agreed time to be at the site, given a 1 hour window due to existing schedules taking longer at other sites. I would give a trusted neighbor the responsibility to  open the house so you wont have to rush and endanger people on the road if you are racing to the site to let him in. 

Zana, it is HIS fault. This is a communication issue. He like all tradesmen, contractors, need to inform the client when they will show up at the site. If they have two or three jobs that day, then they can give a rough window when to show up. So a person needs to be on site when that tradesmen needs to show up. It is nearly impossible for a tradesman/contractor to show up at a specific time because each job he is working on will take more/less time and the travel can be unpredictable. If a neighbor can be there to ID the tradesmen before letting him in, then that can work.
