People who thought plumbing is a man's job should think again as a couple of young female plumbers are already enjoying success.
Hollie Webb is relishing reaching the final 20 of the BBC 3 television competition Young Plumber of the Year after being nominated by her bosses due to her excellent plumbing abilities.
Ms Webb, from Northwich, has been in the plumbing industry for five years despite only being 24-years-old and was one of only two women to make the top 20 of the national contest.
Hollie said they she still gets comments from customers about working in a male dominated profession but she is proud of her achievements such as completing plumbing courses at such a young age.
She told the Northwich Guardian: "When I knock on people's doors and say 'I've come to look at your boiler', they're like 'you what?' but people love it. I get comments all the time. I've proved all the doubters wrong."
Tunbridge Wells teenager Lilly Godley-Miller is hoping to follow in the footsteps of Hollie by securing a role as an apprentice plumber with a local plumbing company.
Lilly decided to apply for an apprenticeship after completing the City & Guilds NVQ 6129 level 2 plumbing courses.
The 18-year-old chose to take plumbing courses because her family is full of tradesmen who had completed bricklaying courses, electrical courses and decorating courses.
Lily said that being the only girl did not stop her enjoying the plumbing courses and she is look forward to applying the skills she learned in the classroom to the practical world of heating.
She said: "I absolutely loved it straight away despite being the only young girl on the course who regularly attended.
"It was a bit intimidating at first and I certainly got some stick from the lads but I soon realised they were just jealous of the fact that I was better than they were!"
Lily is encouraging other women to follow her into the plumbing industry as it is ideal for females who like working with their hands and prefer a more practical career as opposed to an everyday office job.
"I always wanted to pursue a hands-on career and there have been a few comments from people along the way but that has just made me even more determined to succeed," she added.
People who want to become fully competent plumbers must take a proper sequence of approved and accredited NVQ plumbing courses starting with the City & Guilds NVQ 6129 level 2 qualification.
