  12. The best way to look at plumbers is they are about half way to becoming a heating engineer. But then so are bricklayers

    Plumbers always carry a piece of pipe in the van with a nail in, so if their work leaks, they can blame the joiner :thumbsup:

    Hearing engineers can’t do leadwork though!

    Does that make them inferior?

    They lag behind at times
     
  18. Says who?

    I learnt chimney flashing, and fabrication of up stands at college. Lead welding. Bossing etc from flat sheets.

    mind you that was a while ago :)

    But to answer your specific question, all other trades are inferior to heating engineers. I’m surprised you even had to ask.
