As a plumber who works in many different aspects of the mechanical services, i keep coming back to this book. This book has a limited scope in as much as it concentrates on the service of hot and cold supplies, not gas or oil. however, this means that the content is specific, informative and detailed. not only does the book cover its subject well, it also has diagrams that are spaced well and not squashed onto the page as in the treloar books.
easy to read/decifer, this book is an essential buy for any existing plumber or anyone on an nvq etc. put quite simply, i was reluctant to part with this much money for such a narrow scoped book, i'm so glad i did. i see this book as the foundation for which any career in plumbing can be built. Garret doesnt try and put things in, that would increase the appeal of the book such as gas or oil but simply writes about a subject he knows inside out, a subject that i now know inside out. an absolute gem.
