^ yeah but you get to tke the !!!!!! all day

Some else got it right do the donkey work (pipes rads etc) your self and then get an expert to do the boiler etc. House insurance is quite inadequate when the explosion took your head off ,I'd say

Of course not but as soon as payment is involved (doesn't even have to be cash) said person is breaking the law.

A friend of mine who is a plumber by trade aged 68
was told he had to employ a Corgi reg plumber to do a 5 min gas job
because of the new regulations. This was to prove that the work was done by a competant person to get a certification certificate.This was in his own home.He could have done the job himself but he was told it could invalidate his house insurance.

whitelabel

it is correct that you nly have to be competant

however in law the only person who is deemed competant is one who has an ACS qualification and is CORGI registered.

CORGI is there for a reason

dotn take risks - use a professional
