As with most plumbing and wiring jobs, much of the work comes under a
general category of house bashing. So any plumber / gas fitter will be
well equipped for jobs involving cutting holes in walls.

You'd think so.
Last year we had our garage converted to useful living space, and
because we wanted it done in our lifetime, we hired an electrician and
plumber recommended by our architect.
When it came time to install the extractor fans (one in the shower room,
one in the utility room), the electrician said that wasn't HIS job, it
was the plumber's. The plumber said, no way, it's for the electrician to do.
We finally got the mason to do it...and for any future work, we won't be
hiring that plumber and electrician. There were other issues, with both
of them.
