SNIPEF - Scottish and Northern Ireland Plumbing Employers Federation

Using a SNIPEF Licensed Plumber gives you peace of mind that you are choosing a plumbing business which uses properly trained and qualified operatives. All members also hold relevant insurance and are subject to third party inspection.

The SNIJIB (Scottish & Northern Ireland Joint Industry Board for the Plumbing industry) regulates and controls employment, the level of skill and proficiency, health and safety competence, wages and welfare benefits in the plumbing industry.

SNIPEF Licensed Business can access a range of services and schemes all designed to help their businesses run more efficiently and profitably. Our key role is to give members a competitive edge and stay apace of change; to help improve and develop business performance.

The only recognised industry route for a plumbing apprenticeship is achievement of the Modern Apprenticeship (MA) in Plumbing.
