Plumbing and Heating

Plumbing is essential to both public health and modern life throughout the world and in all types of buildings.

Plumbers install wet plumbing systems like water, drainage and heating pipes in buildings, and it is also possible to diversify into gas central heating as well.

Skills like pipe bending, crimping, soldering and welding are all essential for plumbers, in addition to fixing pipes to walls.

Installing visible fixings such as showers and basins is another aspect of the job which requires attention to detail and the use of hand tools.
