    Installing a new radiator

    Builders - Who are they?

    What are builders exactly? They are some kind of weird hybrid tradesman that are allowed to every aspect of building work without proper qualifications . . . . I think someone just made it up for a laugh! Think on this - when you go on a building site do you see any 'builders' there? No...

    Boxing in shower pipework

    Hello there I hope someone can help me. Is boxing in shower pipework standard practice for plumbers, or are we expected to call in builders to do this? Also, is capping even supposedly condemned pipes best practice rather than leaving them open? Thanks Lisa
