hey guys,

I have recently been in contact with a builder who told me that he normally does plumbing on his jobs, he also told me he has recently renovated a whole house and completed all aspects of sanitary plumbing in the house - he has no licences at all and does not show up on the public register.

can and should i make a complaint to the board about him???

he also turned up to carry out plumbing on a new bathroom, toilet and laundry renovation at my parents house, when I found that out i protested that i will do is as a registered plumber, which i have now completed,

i am disgusted that this builder is doing what we should be doing, i would like to complain but i wanted to know what the rest of you think???


cheers guys

thanks mate,

if i complain i want my name to be confidential, can that be possible???

hang him out to dry mate...we dont do building and he should not be doing plumbing...he has the possibility to serrously harm someones health if he does something wrong...you will be doing the right thing and you will be the front line to protecting the health and safety of the plublic! even more so that the stupid pgd board with there stupid cpd scam.

If he did your parent's bathroom - presumably he would have done a quote?  You can send this to the PGDB - but they can't do anything without any hard evidence.  If you want to call them and discuss you can - they are indeed very helpful in these situations.  Ask to speak to the legal people - check this guys advertisements -does he advertise that he does plumbing work as well.  What they can do in these situations is write to the business owner and ask who he has a contract with to undertake plumbing.

Im confused

Nail this guy, lets get something out of the thousands that we pay in bloody disciplinary levies!
