The Institute of Plumbing - Who are they? What is a Registered Plumber?

The Institute is a registered educational charity with the aim of "improving the science, practice and engineering principles of plumbing in the public interest". Registered Plumbers have proven plumbing competence through recognised qualifications and/or extensive experience. Members support the aim and agree to a 5-point Code of Professional Standards as follows…

Members undertake to:

Perform professionally, competently and responsibly
Safeguard the public interest in matters of health and safety
Comply with all relevant laws, regulations, standards and codes
Broaden, improve and maintain their skills, knowledge and personal qualities
Uphold the dignity, standing and reputation of the Institute and the plumbing mechanical services industry

By selecting a Registered Plumber you can be reasonably sure that he or she is competent, and certain that you have excluded those who cannot qualify.

You can also verify my registration in the 'Find a Registered Plumber' section - enter my postcode (RG6 1QE) instead of your own and my name should be returned.

Membership of the Institute of Plumbing is only one of a number of indicators which inform you about the quality of the person or firm you are considering employing. Follow this link for more information… How to Avoid Rogue Traders

P.S. Do not to confuse Registered Plumbers (qualified plumbers) with CORGI Registered Installers (gas installers). They are not the same. CORGI Registered Installers have passed stringent examinations which prove they are competent to undertake gas installation work and carry out safety checks on gas systems and appliances. Rely on a CORGI Registered Installer to service your boiler properly but he won't necessarily have extensive experience with bathrooms, being a specialist in gas!
