    Sorry not really DIY question but the plumbing forum is pretty useless...

    When quoting to get an alarm installed you ask if they are NSAI certified.
    When quoting for electrician you ask to get a cert.
    When getting boiler serviced you ask if they are registered installers.

    When getting basic plumbing job organised (such as replacing pipes under sink) what qualifications should I ask for to ensure I get a good guy and not a cowboy?

    cheers

    APHCI is the association however ive found the likes counts for little. Ive seen qualified tradesmen do awful work. Its just generally a cawe of getting someone you know has done work you know of. Im sorry I can't be more help than that.

    That's what I suspected, thanks. I guess main thing to check is if they have insurance, but even that may be false.

    Check for insurance and references, preferably from someone you know.

    Ask Amon your friends, usually someone will know a reputable plumber who has done work for them.
