Line In The Sand
Last year was tough for many plumbers.
New builds down, interest rate rises saw many people put renovations on hold or attempt DIY projects themselves to cut costs. While it may save the homeowner money, it takes away from the plumber’s livelihood and also puts the community at risk.
It’s a new year and time for a fresh start, its time to draw a line in the sand and force a Trade Only industry, an industry where only licensed plumbers can buy plumbing goods. You do the training, you put in the work, and you pay
the overheads, so only you should be able to carry out plumbing work.
Say no to DIY and merchants who support it by selling to the general public. We have been beating the drum for over 20 years now. We have seen other suppliers adopt our policy, but not enough. You the plumber are the only ones who can truly embrace it by only buying from Trade Only merchants. The stick is in your hand, it’s your time to draw the line in the sand!
