An awards scheme is on the hunt to find the North East's best plumber.
The Plumber Awards, which officially began accepting entries on September 1, aim to celebrate excellence in the trade.
Sponsored by Polypipe Building Products, CT1, and Powered Now, and in partnership with the CIPHE, the awards will recognise those consistently delivering outstanding services across the UK.
In its first year, there will be at least 11 regional awards for the UK's best plumbers.
According to the organisation, winning the title of Best Plumber in the North East could significantly boost a plumber's reputation and business prospects.
Shortlisted candidates will also join a community of top-tier plumbers.
Plumbers in the North East are now being encouraged to enter online via the awards' website at www.plumberawards.co.uk.
Entrants must provide details of their training, qualifications, customer service, and examples of their work.
The entry process is designed to help judges understand each plumber's work ethic, priorities, and compliance with legislation.
All projects involving a domestic property are eligible, and supporting evidence and images are welcomed.
Entries close on January 31, 2026.
Plumbers must be 18 or older and hold at least an NVQ 2 or 3 in England, Wales, and NI or an SNVQ3 only in Scotland.
The winner will be announced at InstallerSHOW 2026, at the NEC in Birmingham in June 2026.
