Plumbing services in Singapore

In Singapore, plumbing services are available based on the type of plumbing problem. There are the plumbers that deal with Water Service Plumbing Work and those that deal with Sanitary Plumbing Work. The plumbers that deal with water service plumbing work should always be licensed by PUB in Singapore. They offer services like Installations, repairs, and replacement of tanks, taps, and pipes for the water supply system in homes. Always check for the license before offering the plumbing job around your home.

The Sanitary Work plumbers deal with installing, replacing or relocating sanitary discharge appliances and pipes that are used for drainage. Earlier the sanitary work plumbers could offer their services without being licensed but since April 2018 they were required to be licensed. Under this LP scheme now both water service and sanitary plumbers are required to operate under a common license. 

The plumbers, who were earlier licensed by PUB would automatically qualify for the new LP license. Now operating or offering any type of plumbing service in Singapore without a license is illegal.
