Hi guys,
I agree with most of what has been posted, but as always there are exceptions and ways round problems, without
breaking any laws. For example, even though I am not an electician,[i am a plumber] I trained as an engineer with
TI and built packaging machines [and wired them up - 3 phase], therefore I am classed as competent and can do
certain electrical jobs in customers houses. I cannot add new circuits, but I can replace items and wire them up.
Likewise, I work closely with a htg. eng. and have installed boilers/repaired gas pipes in advance of his visit to the
site on the understanding he tests it thoroughly before he passes it [never had a fail yet]. By the way do not think
that because a htg. eng. might have more 'bits of paper' than a plumber does not mean he is any good at doing
ordinary pipework! I would still like to know where they enrol on the anti-gravity course for waste pipes!
Cheers, Jeff
