+200 VISUAL MAPS OF UK PLUMBING & HEATING
UK PLUMBING & HEATING EXPLAINED CLEARLY, VISUALLY AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
Combi, system and regular boilers, hot water cylinders, pipework and fittings, radiators, wastes and fault finding: one topic per page, for college, exams and on-site work.
Reading the textbook is one thing. Standing in front of an airing cupboard and knowing straight away which pipe is the cold feed, why a radiator is cold at the top or where the system pressure is going is something else.
These maps turn the technical side of UK domestic plumbing and heating into drawings, diagrams, tables and examples you understand at a glance.
Fewer pages of text. More clarity to study, revise and look things up the moment you need them.
Instant access after purchase, on mobile, tablet or computer.

Frequently asked questions
1. What is +200 Visual Maps of UK Plumbing & Heating?
Digital study material made up of visual maps on UK domestic plumbing and heating. Each map covers one topic on one page: a technical drawing or diagram, the key points and a practical tip. From water supply and pipework through boilers, cylinders and central heating to wastes, fault finding and testing.
2. Who is it for?
For Level 2 and Level 3 plumbing apprentices, for adults retraining as plumbers, for handymen and property maintenance staff, and for qualified plumbers and heating engineers who want an organised visual reference. It is not a DIY guide.
3. Do I need any prior knowledge?
It helps, but it isn’t required. The maps start with the basics of how water and heat move around a UK home and explain each topic with a drawing and an example, without assuming you already know the jargon.
4. Is it a qualification?
No. It is study and reference material. It does not give you a qualification and does not replace formal training, the regulations or the manufacturer’s instructions. Work on gas appliances must only be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
5. Can I use it at work?
Yes, as a reference to revise concepts, recognise components and check the logic of a system. On site, always follow the regulations, the manufacturer’s instructions and the person responsible for the job.
6. Is it based on UK systems?
Yes. The maps are written in British English and based on UK domestic systems: combi, system and regular boilers, vented and unvented cylinders, tank-fed and mains-fed supplies. Values are for guidance: always check the current regulations and the manufacturer’s instructions.
7. How do I get access?
As soon as your payment is confirmed, your access is unlocked automatically and your login details arrive by email. Nothing is posted: the material is 100% digital.
8. Can I use it on my mobile?
Yes. The maps open on mobile, tablet and computer, so you have them with you at college or on site.
9. Does my access expire?
No. Your access is permanent and there is no subscription.
10. How does the 15-day guarantee work?
You have 15 days to look through everything: the maps and the three bonuses. If the format isn’t right for you, send us a short email and you get a full refund.
