 The UK is currently unque in the EU in that there is no competent person scheme for plumbing. So anyone with or without training or skill can legally trade as a plumber in England. Although if you do not comply with the water regulations are breaking the law.
The UK is inline with the EU on electricians who by law must hold a Building Regulation Part P certification to work in domestic homes.
