Why Queensland Reserves Plumbing for Licence Holders
Queensland Reserves Plumbing is a licensed plumbing business, and in Queensland every plumbing and drainage job must sit with a licence holder. The tradesperson doing the work holds an occupational licence. The business carrying that work needs a contractor licence as well, and the QBCC administers both.
The occupational licence proves the person is competent at the work itself. The contractor licence tells you the firm behind the job has the money and the business training to run it.
Three licence classes matter around a home:
Plumber
covers the pipework and fixtures above ground, except work that requires a separate endorsement.
Drainer
covers the below-ground side, the drains and their connections.
Gasfitter
a gas work licence covers gas work, and only the holder can install, remove, alter, service or certify a gas installation and its pipework.
Regulated plumbing and drainage jobs sort into permit, notifiable and minor work, and every category belongs in licensed hands. Notifiable work is the kind the QBCC must register. The QBCC says that rule guards your house, your health and your rights as an owner.
Who Checks Plumbing Work and What You Receive
Two bodies check plumbing work: the QBCC and the local council, and you receive a Form 4 or a gas compliance certificate depending on the job. The QBCC licenses the tradespeople and registers notifiable jobs. The City of Brisbane issues permits and inspects, and you can also have the council look over notifiable jobs whenever you choose.
Paperwork you should end up holding:
Form 4
once notifiable work finishes, you keep a copy of the notice, and the QBCC will send one if it never arrives.
Gas compliance certificate
when we finish new gas work or an alteration, the gasfitter gives you the certificate straight away, and the network operator receives a copy inside 5 days.
You can verify anyone before booking. The QBCC keeps public registers you can search by name for a licence, or by address to see whether a Form 4 was lodged for your place. Our gas fitter page has more on the gas side.

Plumbing Questions Customers Ask
Call (07) 3523 7121How do I check a plumber's licence in Queensland?
Use the QBCC's public online registers. One lookup confirms a licence holder's details, and searching by your street address tells you whether a Form 4 was ever lodged for the place.

Yes, every job is done by a licensed plumber, working under QBCC No: 15024607. We're licensed and insured.
Does plumbing work in Newstead come with a warranty?
Yes, labour is covered by a lifetime labour warranty, and the Fix-It-or-It's-Free guarantee covers the work (T&Cs apply).
What can I do if plumbing work turns out faulty?
Raise it with the plumber first. Pipes on the property side are the owner's to fix, while Urban Utilities looks after the public mains and sewer. If the work may be unlicensed, defective or non-compliant, you can put in a QBCC complaint online.
