"You definitely need an electrician to install the feed for the power
However if like me the electrician understands basic plumbing they could do the full install
If not you will need both trades"

"You should have a plumber, but if the tap is on a plug, then so long as there is a suitable socket outlet close to the installation, an Electrician will not be required."

"You may need both depends on whether the gas engineer who installs the boiler covers these trades also but a simple couple questions to the engineer will answer this for you if you do need extra trades"

"Hi,
Yes the reason being your are working with drinking water. Plus the correct plumbing connection are required.
The heating unit will require an electrical supply to unit."
