About

My company, Boiler Bee is a small family plumbing and gas engineering business concerned with new installations of heating systems and pipe work and the servicing and maintenance of domestic and commercial appliances such as boiler, cookers, gas fires and water heaters.

I served my engineering apprenticeship at Swan Hunters Shipbuilders in 1980. Since then I have gained a multitude of practical and professional qualifications such as Gas Safe, LPG and degrees in Mechanical Engineering (BSc), Robotics (MSc) and Subsea Engineering (MSc) from Sunderland, Loughborough and Newcastle Universities.

I am also qualified to work on domestic meters and LPG gas systems for caravans, park homes and remote properties where mains gas is not available.

In 2018, I qualified to work on commercial boilers and gas pipework. In 2022 I qualified to work on heat pump and completed a number of heat pump courses and have now, Jan 2023, fitted my first heat pump.

I have also complete the Heat Geek heating designer courses and am a registered installer on the national network.
