Hi All,
I'm Hugh, GS/Corgi registered engineer for 18 years from the Bucks/Oxon border.
I've been involved in fireplaces and gas fires all my working life (28years!), have been an employee, a retailer with a shop and these days I sub-contract to other retailers and install/service for the general public. I also install cookers and work with both NG and LPG.
I've joined on here to get more involved with the wider world of plumbing and heating, after all this time I'm looking to get more involved in heating/boiler servicing and although I have and maintain all the qualifications (CEN1/CCN1/CPA1) I don't have a vast amount of hands on experience.
I'm looking forward to trawling the forums and seeing what's about and hopefully getting some advice on the best courses to attend (manufacturers or otherwise) to get the best practical knowledge of different appliances, multimeters and fault finding techniques etc. What courses are good, which are not so good......
So that's me, if anyone needs any advice or help with fire/fireplace related issues feel free to ask as I'm sure I'll be asking plenty of questions about boilers and plumbing!
