    Motherboard in boiler replacement

    Posted 23 March

    Karl responded to my urgent call on a Saturday as we had no boiler operation whatsoever. The temperature in our home was 12c & we are elderly. Unfortunately it needed a new motherboard . Being a weekend a replacement wasn’t possible . He was at our home at 9am very prompt , with part in his hands. He was quick , very cheery, & the repair was done . Thank you Karl a man I can trust .

I have worked in the plumbing and heating industry since 2006.


I studied for four years at Suffolk college whilst working as an apprentice with a local plumbing and heating firm gaining my level two and three qualification in plumbing and heating, as well as my gas safe qualification.


I started working for myself in 2010.


Since then, I have taken on an apprentice (Brandan) who has been with me since 2013 he is now a fully qualified heating engineer and is carrying out jobs on his own.


I pride my company on being very neat and tidy in everything we do; the only way I can guarantee this is to train my staff from the beginning. This way I feel I can mold them into my idea of the perfect engineers.


We cover a wide range of work including bathroom installations, boiler breakdowns, servicing, landlord certificates, hot water cylinder replacements, radiator changes, power flushing, leak repairs, and much more.
