Summary

Hard working and reliable gas engineer, I've spent the last ten years in the plumbing and heating industry, constantly learning new skills and gaining knowledge. Installing boilers and pipework in both domestic and commercial properties to suit the system design, then commissioned to manufacturers instructions, filled out benchmark and gas safety documentation of completed work for current, accurate records.

Recently been and a few air source heat pump training courses and supplied and fitted ASHP to a property as part of the job I had to decommission the gas system in the house and cap off installation pipework and remove the meter.
