These plumbers' terms and conditions are suitable for use in relation to a wide range of plumbing services, and can be used with business customers, consumers or both. They are designed to be flexible enough to cover one-off jobs or ongoing engagements.

The plumbing contract terms include a wide range of protections for the service provider. For example, there are optional provisions to deal with last minute booking cancellations. There are also detailed provisions on the supply of materials, including a retention of title clause, so that the plumbing services supplier retains ownership of the materials until they have been paid for.
