What are the benefits?
Build Trust: Your customers will be reassured they are dealing with a professional and competent plumber and you will receive recognition of your professional status under a national trusted brand.
Win more business: Members of the scheme will be listed on the WaterSafe website which is a national search facility providing the opportunity to reach more customers. Members will also be able to display WaterSafe branding on their vehicles and stationery to gain extra credibility and carry the stamp of approval.
