Customer Reviews

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.

Not sure about 'Complete Plumbing and Central Heating' ..
but for the basics in Plumbing/Central Heating it's a must!
I always stayed well clear of water in the home but since buying the book i've drained my Central Heating system, removed and replaced radiators, used capillary & compression fittings etc.
The book offers clear pictures / diagrams and explains each procedure well.

Collins Complete Plumbing & Central Heating
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.
