You will work with a very wide selection of materials, metals, plastics and an interesting range of systems providing cold and hot water, heating, sanitation and drainage. Some plumbing components are basic, others, including boiler controls, have electronic control systems, which require highly skilled craftspeople who can operate competently in a wide range of skill areas.
Plumbing is an important part of the UK construction industry. Your day's work could include anything from working in someone's home replacing or servicing an item of plumbing equipment to installing a large complex heating or plumbing system in a multi-million pound building.
