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.
