There are people who are confident to carry out the majority of ‘do it yourself’ tasks and then there are people who would just rather leave it in the capable hands of a tradesman. This is probably a good ethic a syou can cause untold damage if you do not know what you are doing especially if it concerns gas, water and electricity. There are very strict and sensible rules and regulations that must be adhered to. A Holland Park Plumber can advise on and carry out all things plumbing. Attempting any job at home without the right knowledge can open a real can of worms resulting in more problems to repair. It is also entirely possible that it may result in you being on the wrong side of the law. The systems fitted in the home are quite specialised and the margin for error is very fine and any mistake can result in expensive repair bills and potential hazard to health of the occupants. Even though you may not be a qualified professional you are still bound by the safety regulations just the same. It can be difficult if you are subject to strict financial expenditure as using a tradesman’s time can be quite expensive, however you must weigh the cost of that against the cost of say a whole central heating system or boiler and it may put things in perspective. It could be that you are renting where it is your landlords responsibility to adhere to the regulations. So if you have the confidence and knowledge to keep within the minimum standards required by our regulatory body to take on a job in the home that’s fine, just make sure you have the right tools and safety backup in place. A Holland Park Plumber is a professional, qualified tradesman. “
