Where do they 'work from'???

Every plumber, electrician and builder I know are mobile, they work on 
site. Smaller ones have an 'office' at home.
Here they form a legal 'business' and have a 'registered address' with 
signage.
To satisfy the relation the sign is usually on the back door to avoid 
the local council becoming concerned. As it is not public I would not 
map them.

The larger firms of plumbers, electricians and builders have an office 
.. so I'd tag them as offices - they sell a service so fit the OSM 
description.

As regards 'business' tagging .. the keys amenity, office, shop all 
contain businesses so generic tagging has been lost for business.
