Credentials to check
Plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying are restricted trades: the work must be done by someone registered with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (PGDB). Where a business has added its PGDB registration or Master Plumbers membership, its TCH profile shows it. An Unclaimed listing carries none, so check the PGDB register yourself.
Does a plumber or gasfitter have to be registered?
Yes. Plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying are restricted: they must be carried out by a PGDB-registered professional. Check the PGDB register. Where the business has added its registration, its TCH profile shows it.
Do I get a certificate for gas work?
Yes: gasfitting work should come with a gas safety certificate. Keep it for your records and your insurer.
Who do I call for a blocked drain versus a leak?
A drainlayer handles drains and wastewater; a plumber handles supply, fixtures and hot water; a gasfitter handles gas. Many businesses hold more than one registration: check which on the PGDB register.
