REVIEWS

"This course was so informative, yet so simple! It gave me the big picture of how or from/to where water was coming into my house (or flat) and going out. I had so many questions about how the hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard works, radiator, toilet flashing, leakage from taps, changing taps, different types of pipes etc. I didn't even need to ask all of them, most of them were covered. David was very patient and knowledgeable, yet not using difficult terms or jargon. Highly recommended for people like me, who would like to get the idea of what to do with DIY level plumbing!"

"The course has enabled me to fix a light that has been put on hold for quite sometime and now I understand more about wiring and testing plus the use of different conductors for different purposes. Excellent course and would recommend to anyone having some odd jobs to do, or a tradesman around, to avoid those dodgy fixes that cost fortunes for things that are not broken."
