Talking Technical

The Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering (IPHE) now has a dedicated telephone line for consumers looking for some advice on their plumbing and heating systems.

Dale Courtman, Technical Director at the IPHE says, “Until recently, we have only had the resources to answer technical queries from our members, but we now have a Technical Officer, Danny Davis, who will be manning the helpline specifically for consumers.”

So, if you have a technical query on any plumbing or heating installation or are concerned that work undertaken doesn’t comply with the Water or Building Regulations, give Danny a ring on 0870 4145533.
