The first rule of any DIY plumbing is to know how to isolate your water supply

This a thoroughly hands-on DIY workshop, which will teach you good practice and explain how plumbing works. You won’t even get wet!

You will get to use plumbing tools and fittings, so that you feel confident to deal with issues at home.
