Format:Paperback
This is a very good book for tackling the everyday problems you can encounter with home plumbing. Unfortunately, if your after information on installing your own central heating system, there's not enough info on on the pipe layout and planning etc. but overall this is a handy book to have around the house.

After already using Collins Complete DIY manual for the past few years I had high hopes for this revamped book in the planning of my central heating system. Instead I found the plumbing section from the DIY manual stuck in a new cover with a few extra bits on underfloor and solar heating:(
As a reviewer of the previous version said Wickes leaflets are far more use to help you install central heating and you can download them now as well.

This book doesn't quite give the information I bought it for - my own fault maybe! Certainly, it is NOT the complete plumbing & central heating guide.
It doesn't tell you how to install central heating, and should only be seen as a basic guide to the world of plumbing. If you are looking to save yourself a few quid on the odd-jobs around the house, maybe this is your book. However, if you want to tackle a bigger project, look at other sources of information.

Clear explanations, but not a complete guide
Lots of this is very similar to the Collins complete DIY book, which I also bought. It's laid out in an easily understandable way, and is an useful guide to simpler jobs. Read more

Already featured elsewhere
I bought this hoping that it would expand on the General Collins DIY manual that I already own. It doesn't and it features much of the text / diagrams of said book.
