Plumbing help

denkarma

Hi All.
I want to put Heating in a Cottage we are renovating.
It will be Run from a Stove.
What I need is Someone that will help me with the Instillation. Maybe a Retired or a Semi Retired Person.
I hope to find someone that will Show me how to Connect everything and Make sure it is Done Properly, I will do the Majority of the Work Myself to keep Costs Down.

Hi just wondering what your profession is first off?

denkarma

Hi spireland32
Dont have a Trade unless 'Jack of all Trades' count..i Have done Plumbing in the Past But nothing on this Scale.

A stove or back boiler installed incorrectly is deadly dangerous, one of lads on here did up a sketch of how to pipe one before. However you would still need some knowledge of plumbing. I know things are tight with money these days but I really think you should get a professional in. Even get a price and give you some idea. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing as they say.

@ spireland32
Thanks For the warning ...that is why I would like someone to Oversee my work and keep me Pointed in the Right direction.
Someone local would be great As they could be here when i am doing the Work.
I would not be doing all the Work myself just the donkey work, Lifting Floorboards and drilling walls also cutting lenghts of Pipe to fit.

anthonyos

it would be very hard to get someone that knows what they are at to "over see" your work i counldnt do it id have to stop you and do it right myself

@ anthonyos If they do the Plumbing part I could do the Rest.
We are not looking for a Plumber to work for free, We will offer Payment .
I should have stressed that at the Start, but if I do the Donkey work it should help keep costs down.

anthonyos

but the plumbing part is the rest ...your best bet is to offer a lad day rate lets say 100 a day and get the job done safely and properly

denkarma

Thanks anthonyos,
Thats an Idea..I would never have thought of it that way.

There is nothing to stop you doing the pipe work and let a plumber do final connections to the boiler. There is lot to it. If i were a plumber i would happily advise you...

But actully tell you the full installiation.... That is a difficult one.

@ Joey the lips
I don't want to do it all myself...What I want is Someone that will do it and I will do the Labour/Donkey work.
