The Board recommends that, before making a complaint, people try to resolve any issues by talking to the relevant plumber, gasfitter or drainlayer directly. Problems are often resolved quickly and effectively in this way.
Read our resolving problems guide for some helpful tips on how to do this.
Complaints may lead to registered Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers being disciplined by the Board and/or unauthorised persons being prosecuted in the District Court. However, the Board cannot award compensation or order repairs.
Our Registered Work Investigations Guide and our Unauthorised Work Investigations Guide explain the different disciplinary processes.
The Board's disciplnary decisions are published in our decisions database.
