Water fittings regulations
Under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 it is the legal duty of the owner, occupier, installer, or plumber to ensure the regulations are met to notify us before any work begins. If the owner or occupier does not seek permission, then the duty rests with the installer or plumber. Failure to notify may result in legal action.
