Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

You can see some information about plumbers, gasfitters, and drainlayers on a public register. The Registrar can stop you seeing some of this information if the person it is about asks them to. They can also stop you seeing certain information if regulations say they must or if the Board tells them to. You cannot see some information on the register because it is private. The Registrar must keep this information private if regulations say so or if the Board directs them to. The Board can tell the Registrar to keep information private if they think it should not be public. The Board makes decisions about what information should be private. They can tell the Registrar to keep information private if they think it is not necessary or desirable for it to be public. This helps keep some information about plumbers, gasfitters, and drainlayers private.
