Get Free QuotesDIY vs Professional Plumbing — When You Must Call an Expert
Some minor plumbing tasks — such as replacing a tap washer or unblocking a sink with a plunger — can be tackled by a competent DIYer. However, there is a long list of plumbing jobs that are either legally restricted to qualified tradespeople or simply too risky to attempt without the proper training and tools.
All gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer — this is a legal requirement in the UK, and doing it yourself is both illegal and potentially fatal. Work on unvented hot water systems must also be carried out by a qualified installer. Notifiable work under the Water Regulations must be performed by an approved contractor or formally notified to your local water authority.
If in doubt, always call a professional. The cost of putting right DIY plumbing mistakes is almost always greater than the original job would have been.

How Materials and Specification Affect Your Plumbing Quote
The materials specified for a plumbing job can have a substantial impact on the total cost. Copper pipework is more expensive than plastic (such as PEX or polybutylene), but each has its appropriate applications and longevity characteristics. For a new boiler installation, the make, model, and output capacity of the unit chosen will significantly affect the overall price, as will whether a premium or budget-range appliance is selected.
Bathroom sanitary ware varies enormously in price — from entry-level suites to premium designer fixtures — and the plumber's supply arrangements versus customer-supplied goods can affect labour charges. Understanding the specification choices available to you is an important part of comparing quotes fairly.
Ask each plumber in Hitchin to clearly specify the materials included in their quote so you can make a meaningful like-for-like comparison.
