When to call a plumber vs DIY in Ramsgate: myths worth busting
Not every plumbing job needs a plumber, but a few common DIY myths lead people to attempt jobs that end up costing more.
Myth
Any tap can be swapped out yourself with a wrench and some patience.
Fact
Fine if you have isolated the supply correctly and have the right tools, but incorrect isolation is a common and expensive DIY trap on older Royal Harbour properties.
Myth
A Gas Safe registration card is basically just a formality.
Fact
It is a legal requirement. Working on a gas appliance, boiler, or gas supply pipe without being Gas Safe registered is a criminal offence, no exceptions. Always ask to see the card.
