Well done to Dylan Dickson, a Coleg Llandrillo plumbing apprentice on making it through to the HIP Magazine learner of the year UK finals. Having won the North West round, we were off to sunny Barnsley College for the 2 day final.
Great effort from Dylan but pipped at the post!
Thanks to HiP and the sponsors for a great event, see you next year! 👍

An F&E cistern removed by one of our apprentices today showing sludge in the bottom and tide marks where the level has been rising and falling. Good demonstration of why setting correct levels and a knowledge of water regs air gaps is important. This shows system expansion into the F&E bringing corrosion sludge with it.

Glue some radiator brackets to their backs, give them a lockshield valve, a TRV and a copy of the CIBSE guide 🙂
