Why are you not charging plumbing businesses?

The costs to administer sector businesses membership is more expensive than plumbing businesses for WIAPS. We feel its fairer that these businesses share and contribute to administration costs. Water companies will still be supporting all membership categories through annual subscriptions to WIAPS.

Sector approved contractors also have lower qualification requirements* to join the scheme and tend to get more benefits by having approved status.

*​ when compared to Approved Plumbers who typically study for at least 2 years to gain a level 2 plumbing qualification, in addition to their water fittings qualification.
