Find a WaterSafe contractor

Find a reputable, trustworthy water contractor for your needs. We always recommend selecting a WaterSafe approved contractor. Anyone carrying out plumbing work in your home must ensure that your drinking water remains clean and safe.

All pipework and fittings that are part of your water supply system should comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. Property owners, occupiers, and anyone working on the plumbing system have a legal duty to ensure the work meets these regulations.

Therefore, we recommend choosing a contractor who is a member of WaterSafe. Using a WaterSafe approved contractor provides the following benefits:

● WaterSafe approved contractors are qualified to carry out water supply work in homes and business premises, ensuring compliance with the Water Fittings Regulations. This reduces the risk of contamination from substandard installations or unapproved materials.

● WaterSafe approved contractors will issue a certificate for their work, confirming compliance with UK Water Regulations.

● WaterSafe approved contractors can carry out work without providing advance notification to your water supplier.

● WaterSafe approved contractors hold employers and public liability insurance.

● WaterSafe approved contractors have complaints procedures in place to resolve disputes about the work.

● WaterSafe approved contractors must rectify their work if it fails to meet the Water Fittings Regulations enforced by the water supplier.

● WaterSafe approved contractors are audited to ensure they comply with the scheme’s rules.

Specialist water contractors approved by WaterSafe are recommended to work on the underground pipe supplying your property up to the internal stop tap.

WaterSafe approved contractors have the necessary skills, knowledge, experience, and training to work on water supply pipes within your property boundary in accordance with regulations.
