Q&A's: Who can you complain about?
-
The Board runs an independent, fair process for dealing with complaints about the conduct of plumbers, gasfitters, and drainlayers.
This process applies to the following people:- registered plumbers, gasfitters, or drainlayers
- plumbers, gasfitters, or drainlayers who hold provisional licences
- plumbers, gasfitters, or drainlayers who were registered at the time of the relevant conduct but are not anymore
- plumbers, gasfitters, or drainlayers who are already subject to a Board order in relation to plumbing, gasfitting, or drainlaying work.
See the law on complaints and discipline in relation to plumbers, gasfitters, and drainlayers below:- Part 3, Subpart 1 of the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006
- Complaints and discipline policy
Sanitary plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying are regulated industries in New Zealand and it’s illegal for anyone to do this work unless they are authorised by the Board.- The Board also considers complaints about persons carrying out restricted sanitary plumbing, gasfitting and/or drainlaying when they are not registered, licensed or authorised to carry out that work.
