Hi i have a friend that has a 3 bed house.She had new rads and boiler from warm front. They converted it into a 2 zone system.They fitted a rad in the main bedroom with lockshields and fitted the room stat in the landing. She had no rad in her bathroom so got a local plumber to fit one...

yea ok mum

Well i have explained this to them so i guess its up to them what they do after i have finished. At least they know the risks so they can make a decision based on that.

yea i could do but the customer doesn't really want one because it defeats the object of being able to be in the bath and wash their hair etc.

Thats the thing, its not got a restraining clip and the level at which the customer wants it means that it could dangle into the bath. Also there is a bidet alongside the bath which the head could be dropped into. I could put check valves on to satisfy cat 3 but not sure about the bidet? Maybe a...

are you sure that this is acceptable for a shower mixer?

hi Can someone explain why a double check valve is not acceptable for protection against cat 5 fluid risk? Example in question is a shower wand hose which can fall into bath so cat 3 but its also next to a bidet.

ha ha no hes not on drugs but he did have a informal chat with someone from niceic whilst having a MCS audit who said that a big shake up was on the cards. i happen to have had the same reaction as you but just wondered if something was going on? apparently nappit are on the way out also?

im not sure , he was talking about all building control and not just electrical notifiable work which i have to say is a bit of a shock to me

Hi i friend of mine said to me a couple days ago that the niceic are taking over building control from the councils. I wondered if anyone know about this?

Thanks newgasinstaller for the info luckily you dont need any of that to become MCS accredited. Tony all i wanted to do was to finish the nvq in the first place and wondered why i cant and what being employed had to do with it all but as you have said maybe i need to speak to my local college...

Yes im self employed and have been for many years. Many years ago i had a 715 and the tax man changed the law and so everyone had to go on the books. Then everyone went back self employed. No one has ever said to me that i HAVE to go on the books and im sure there are many many in my situation...

The solar is something we do a lot of and the company are actually MCS accredited. Im not sure why you would think that we never would be MCS? My employer has done his unvented cylinder and his partner has his solar thermal ticket which allows us to fit them.

Im not sure what difference it makes to whether im working in the plumbing industry as an employed or self employed person?

Hi Tony no my "employer" is also a good friend that i have worked with/for over the last 15 years. We are both qualified electricians and he is a member of CIPHE which gave him membership as a plumber when he proved his competance as he doesnt have formal qualifications. Its not about...

Tony thanks for that info its so hard getting a definative answer about the way to go around things to get where you want. Firstly im not into doing things quick and im not sure why you keep bringing this up, im well aware that it takes a few years to become good at anything and i have already...

Tony i realise that anyone can call themselves a plumber but you are missing the point. I am trying to better myself as a plumber and have learned a lot doing the level 2 tech cert but i want to move on now and do the level 3 and eventually be able to do gas and become gas safe etc. Now to be...

Thanks for your replies both of you. Firstly i didnt want to go the fast track way and im not sure what the problem is with referring to it as that? Tony, i have some plumbing experience previously but not enough to call myself a plumber which is why i chose to do the course i.e to learn more...
