-Tradespeople are active for 7 hours per day and burn 2,500 calories, on average-

TRADESPEOPLE are the healthiest workers in the UK, according to new research.

The survey of 2,014 UK adults by IronmongeryDirect revealed that those working in the trades such as, plumbing, construction, and electrical installation are the healthiest workers in the UK.

Due to the nature of their job, a tradesperson is active for up to 7 hours per day, burning up to 2,500 calories - more than any other type of worker.

Plumbing and heating apprentices studying towards National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are now benefiting from special online training and in-class training packs prepared by industry-leading water treatment specialist Sentinel. Since launching, Sentinel’s training resources have been snapped up by higher education institutions wanting to equip apprentices with skills in best practice water treatment. The work-based apprentices are finding that the materials – which are often used as revision aids for central heating exams – fit in well with other coursework during their day-release visits to college.

Bathroom suites are an excellent way to fully fit out your bathroom because all the hard work is done for you. Instead of browsing hundreds of bathroom fixtures and fittings to combine perfectly, a bathroom suite comes ready built by experts with matching fixtures.

With that said, it doesn’t mean the difficulty of choosing a bathroom suite stops there. The size of your bathroom can play a huge part in restricting your options when choosing your suite.

So, what can you do to make choosing a bathroom suite easier? Start by measuring out your room and creating an ideal layout. This should give you a better idea of which suites will work best in your bathroom. The next thing you should do is decide on whether you want a traditional or modern suite.
