UK Plumber of the Year 2019 reports as follows:

“Following the success of the previous competitions, bathroom and kitchen giants JT, Wolseley and Bristan have joined forces to launch the 2019 UK Plumber of the Year competition, for the 5th year running.

“We first launched the competition in 2015, where our nationwide search found Josh Colbert, a multi-skilled plumber from Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, as the worthy winner of the inaugural UK Plumber of the Year competition.

“In 2016, Shaun Scott from Aberdeen picked up the crown, and a year later Wigan’s Drew Styles followed in his footsteps.  Last year, it was Steve Bartin from Taunton who took home the accolade in a record-year for applications!

“The competition’s Official Judging Partner, Watersafe, has shortlisted 15 plumbers from across the UK from the applications submitted.  Watersafe is the online directory and national accreditation body for competent and qualified plumbers in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
