Lots of people are quite capable of doing DIY work in their own houses. However some are not very confident, or practically minded or even elderly. This group should call on the services of a professional plumbing service, like Brockley Plumbers who will charge, but will also guarantee work and clean up. The reason it is probably a good idea because untold damage can be caused if someone does not know what they are doing, particularly if it concerns gas, water or electricity. The rules and regulations are very strict and sensible rules that must be obeyed. A Brockley Plumber can work on all appliances and systems.
Word of Warning:
Any attempt to do plumbing job in the home without the correct knowledge or experience will more than likely result in bigger problems to fix and even be a risk to health. It is also possible that you could end up breaking the current law.
The domestic electrical and plumbing systems that are installed in every home are quite specialised and with little or no margin for error in judgement or confidence could result in massive bills, and weeks of inconvenience. There is no get out clause because you are not a qualified tradesman. It is your responsibility to obey and work within the safety regulations just the same.
Most people find paying for a service (if they have problems) difficult as they are on a budget, so calling a professional will not be the first thing you think of, however you must seriously consider the cost of a paid repair against the potential cost of a whole central heating system or boiler if you make a mistake. For tenants, the landlord is responsible and has to obey the same regulations as anyone else.
Finally:
If you are confident, knowledgeable and are able to keep within the minimum standards required by the UK regulatory body to work on a DIY job in your property that’s ok. Make sure that:
1). You have the right tools.
2). The correct safety backup in place.
3). The phone number of your local plumber in your pocket.
