Welcome to the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board

The Board, established under the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Act 2006, is responsible for administering the registration and licensing systems of plumbers, gasfitters and drainlayers. In regulating the trade and registering people, the Board seeks to promote and safeguard the health and safety of people, their property and the environment.
