In New Zealand, most plumbing and drainlaying work, and all gasfitting, is restricted to licensed tradespeople. Check the person doing the work holds a current licence on the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board public register before you hire.
Check the PGDB registerAgree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
