Plumber fined for doing substandard work without proper license
In this article on Stuff, homeowners are being urged to check their tradesman is not doing plumbing or gasfitting work without proper credentials. With one person learning an expensive lesson on work that was deemed substandard and not to have met the requirements of the Building Code, the article details what to look out for when hiring a plumber.
Plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying are regulated trades in New Zealand as they are responsible for the health and safety of the public. Ask to sight a licence. It states the credentials of a tradesperson and the type of work they are authorised to carry out – and importantly the current date.
Here at Paragon, as well as being licensed to carry out all aspects of plumbing, heating, hot water and central heating, we are also approved contractors for Port Marlborough, meaning we can carry out plumbing and gas work on boats in the Picton, Waikawa and Havelock marinas.
