Why is it important to find an approved plumber?
All plumbing work needs to comply with water regulations.

Using an approved plumbing business is reassuring for you and helps prevent the risk of contamination of drinking water from poor plumbing practices and sub-standard products.

If you have a leak in your home
Leaking pipes and dripping taps can waste a lot of water and cost you money.
If you experience burst pipes or a leak inside your home, turn off your water supply at your stop tap and contact a plumber immediately.
