Workers who have taken plumbing training courses could find themselves in demand as a result of advice given by Marc Lockley.

Writing in his Negotiator column for Guardian.co.uk, he explained there are a number of ways people can save money when they are looking to install a new kitchen.

Mr Lockley encouraged homeowners to plan thoroughly and shop around for the best deals.

However, he also stated that it is extremely important to employ a worker who has approved plumbing qualifications. 

"When it comes to fitting and plumbing it is important to get efficient tradesmen," he said.

The journalist went on to recommend a number of ways people can find a good professional for the job, emphasising the need for top quality plumbers - or electricians - to make sure the job is carried out safely.

"Good workmanship is vital, as poor plumbing can lead to leaks or even burst pipes," Mr Lockley wrote.
