Important Information
Water Regs UK recommend you read this important information during the selection process and employment of any potential contractor.
WaterSafe approved businesses employ qualified operatives. It is an individual not the business that become Approved Contractors for a specific scope of work.
Please note, the checks made on members focus on technical competency and to ensure they adhere to WaterSafe’s requirements. For example approved contractor’s have been vetted to ensure they hold recognised qualifications. You may wish to conduct further checks of your own
Your contract will be with the approved contractor or their employer and not WaterSafe or Water Regs UK, so we cannot give assurance of their availability or guarantee their work.
We recommend that you ask in advance, whether there is a charge for giving a quote.
We recommend that you obtain at least 3 quotes to give you a comparison of the likely cost of the work.
We will not get involved in any contractual disputes between you and the contractor. However if you believe that the work completed may not comply with water fittings regulations then you should use the appropriate complaints process.
Please make sure the work is carried out or witnessed by a named approved contractor listed as being approved for that company.
Please make sure you receive a work completed certificate on completion of the work. This document gives you a legal defence provided that the approved contractor is approved for the scope of work completed.
