The Plumber Awards was established to drive and reward the highest standards in the plumbing world.

The Awards reward and celebrate the achievements of those who have invested in their careers, pushed standards higher, consistently delivered excellence and put customer services at the heart of their business.

While sister awards, the Heating Installer Awards, enter the 11th year, this NEW set of awards for 2026 targets a different audience, one which can often go unrecognised but is essential to, let’s face it, most people’s lives!


 

Regional awards

Strong entries can win the title of Best Plumber in the region. For skilled plumbers who care about their customers and projects, this award will shine a light on all of their hard work. One plumber per region will win the coveted regional title, and all will be shortlisted for the national finals.

National award

All regional winners will complete a technical challenge which levels the playing field. With the scores for this combined with the scores from judging, and a public vote, in Year 1 of the awards, one regional winner will beat their competition to win the title of Best UK Plumber 2026.

Why enter? What can an award do for you

Being the best in a region gives customers confidence in their choice of plumber, and makes the decision easier for them. The award can be used widely in marketing activity and winners will help to judge Year 2 of the awards.

Winners will also receive a brilliant prize bundle from sponsors Powered Now, CT1, CIPHE, Kingsbridge Insurance, Polypipe Building Products and Refresh.
