How do you define a plumber?
The Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering definition of
plumbing is:
"Work associated with the provision of water supply pipework including that used for
fire fighting; all forms of space heating, gas installation, sanitary appliances, discharge pipework and drainage;
the weathering of structures and buildings."
What makes a good plumber?
Plumbers are extremely important people
in society. It's a fact of life that wherever people settle, they will always need plumbers. Good plumbing is not only vital to public health
(plumbers deal with clean drinking
water, sanitation, heating systems etc), but is also an integral part of modern day life - how many of us could do
without the luxury of a hot bath or central heating? Without the competent plumber disease would be rife, sanitation non-existent,
clean, fresh drinking water from a tap only a dream and central heating would consist of a coal or log
fire!
Dispelling the myths.
What qualities does a plumber need to have?
Plumbers need to
be intelligent, flexibility, a thirst for knowledge of new
technology, a creative mind, sound judgement and most importantly professionalism and honesty.
Being a plumber is a physical job; you will have to be prepared to get your hands dirty, learn to use many
tools and equipment in a safe and proper fashion, head for heights, be willing to fit into small, cramped spaces
(under sinks etc). You will also have to be a 'people person' by having
good communication skills and take pride in your work. You have to respect people's properties and uphold high
standards in plumbing to protect the public health. The result of all this can lead to immense job
satisfaction.
Working as a plumber on the tools needs physical skill and mental ability. There is no use knowing the theory if
you can't do the practice and vice-versa.
