They will fall under the catagory of "ONLY BE INSTALLED BY POLLACKS AND RUSSKIE'S"  like all the other trades are these days!

(to be honest i ain't got a monkies,) but if the Gov can get some more off ya hard earned dough for screwing up something they WILL!!!!!

The above gives the current state of play - thankfully.

I had to involve building control over my drains last year - put it all in,  arranged a site visit, and set up a full drains test to show willing - I even had a had a spirit level set up on a length with a piece of wood under one end to show the fall.

The inspector stayed about three minutes, and with a comment that I obviously knew what I was doing, went away again.

After he had gone I noticed that the fall on the last section to be connected - with the spirit level on it - went away from the inspection chamber not towards it...........H'm. So much for knowing what I was doing.  Had to spend the rest of the afternoon getting it right!


No the question was whether any tightening up was being suggested - any new restrictions on 'hammer chewers' like me doing basic plumbing and lead flashing.  If not then that's good news, and I'll get my extension up before they change their minds!

Building Contol is no longer the responsibility of the Deputy PM.

An extra point for anyone who knows who's responsibility it is (without looking it up).
