Could You Be Named the South West’s Best Plumber?

A brand-new awards scheme has officially opened for entries and is on the hunt to find the South West’s top plumber.

Celebrating Excellence in Plumbing

The Plumber Awards, sponsored by Polypipe Building Products, CT1, and Powered Now, The UK’s Best Job Management Software for the trade, has partnered with the CIPHE to recognise and unite those who are consistently pushing boundaries and delivering top-class services across the UK.

In its inaugural year, at least 11 regional awards will be up for grabs. Winning the title of Best Plumber in the South West could give plumbers a huge reputational boost with the potential to transform their business. Everyone shortlisted will also be welcomed into a community of top-tier plumbers.

How to Enter

Plumbers across the South West are being encouraged to enter now. Entry is online via the awards’ website.

All plumbers will need to provide details of their training and qualifications, explain how they go above and beyond for customers, and give examples of their work, including the products they use and why. Judges want to see how each plumber works, what matters most to them, and how they stay on top of legislation to deliver the best service.

Projects involving domestic properties are eligible, and entries can be supported with images and other evidence.

Entries opened on 1st September 2025 and will close on 31st January 2026. To be eligible, plumbers must be 18 or over and hold an NVQ 2 or 3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or an SNVQ3 in Scotland.

What’s at Stake

Those who put their name forward could become the first ever national winner of The Plumber Awards. Exclusive prizes from major sponsors, including Polypipe Building Products, CT1, the CIPHE and more yet to be announced, will be awarded.

The winner will be crowned live on stage at InstallerSHOW 2026, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham in June 2026.
