A CONTEST has been launched to find the UK’s best plumber.
WaterSafe, the national register for approved plumbers, is calling for skilled plumbers to enter for the chance to be crowned the UK’s best plumber and win a prize fund worth more than £10,000.
There are six regional heats, including the South East. Three shortlisted plumbers from each area will be chosen by a public vote and will go forward to the grand final.
Chris Sneath MBE, founding director and chairman of WaterSafe, will be on the judging panel for the second year running.
He said: “It’s an honour to return to the UK Plumber of the Year competition as an official judge.
“Last year saw a record number of applications and it was both inspiring and reassuring to see so many talented, professional plumbers across the UK who were proud to showcase their work.
“I’m looking forward to see what 2018’s candidates have to offer and would encourage everyone to enter.”
The competition is organised through JT, Bristan and Wolseley and qualified plumbers can apply at ukplumberoftheyear.com with details of a project that demonstrates their skills.
The closing date is Friday, June 29.
