Some of the questions I've seen in uk.d-i-y over the yaers have shown very
clearly that the poster hasn't got a clue what he (or she) is taking
about.
In those circumstances they *shouldn't* be tackling that sort of work.

OTOH, why get so uptight about such comments? Will it stop *you* (or any
of
the other seasoned DIYers) from going ahead? There's no need to answer the
question - I know the answer.

It's not a case for getting a so called "professional" but getting a
properly qualified one. Bodged work leads to higher charges later for
repair.

Now "By law, only registered engineers should carry out gas work in people's
properties.

Why do people comment on the question they thought should have been asked
rather than reply to what has been said?

It pays to buy things you dislike. They last much longer.
