110: Effect of disqualification

You could also call this:

"What happens if you're stopped from doing plumbing, gasfitting, or drainlaying work"

Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

If you are disqualified, you cannot do sanitary plumbing, gasfitting, or drainlaying work. You also cannot help someone else do this work while you are disqualified. Your authorisation to do this work will start again after the disqualification period ends, unless there is another reason you are disqualified. You will be able to work again after the disqualification period is over. This is unless something else stops you from working or your authorisation has ended. Then you cannot work until the issue is sorted out. When your disqualification period ends, you can go back to work straight away. This is if there are no other problems that stop you from working. You can then do sanitary plumbing, gasfitting, or drainlaying work again.
