Monkey boy Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Competent DIYers often do a better job than pros in my extensive experience, they are much more time rich and as a result are more conscientious. I do all my own plumbing and electrics and I'm not properly qualified in either. So as well as having ridden more miles than anyone else on this forum you have extensive experience in both plumbing & electrical work! You're so awesome.

Monkey boy Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Electrics are illegal without building control supervision unless you are partP (or properly qualified). However it and plumbing are reasonably straightforward if you stick to the rules and have the tools. Electrics requires a lot of test gear to check it. However if Lots of DIY type jobs are not notifiable under part p so you could still do them. I've seen some DIY disasters but I've also seen some very good DIY electrical work before.

Terminal Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I plumbed my own bathroom. It was easy. Only problem is, the toilet flushes with hot water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issues are the security light squirts intruders,the toilet lights up when flushed and the outside tap gives hot water. Apart from that it's fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-in-man Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Saw an engineers central heating install once. Must have been a electrical engineer coz all the rads were on a ring. Switch the first one off on the TRV and the rest didn't work. The shower and bath, when used, filled with inhibitor, and the loo flushed to the rain water drain outside. Needless to say the boiler had an axe put through it and the water turned off before anymore problems were found. Edit for fat fingering hearing issue.

That's not how a ring works. If you are going to use a common domestic electrical circuit analogy, you'd be better off thinking of a radial with multiple isolation points.
