Gas Safe Register

bpec Certification Ltd

Boiler Bee is a small family plumbing, heating and gas engineering business.We carry out repairs and maintenance of all gas appliances, installation of new systems and appliances and repairs and maintenance of plumbing items such as radiators and taps. We service and maintain domestic appliances such as boilers, thermal stores, unvented cylinders and solar thermal systems.We are qualified Gas Safe engineers for domestic and commercial natural gas and LPG systems used in holiday homes and rural properties. My experience goes back to 1980 when I started my apprenticeship at Swan Hunters Shipbuilders Limited. Since then I have been involved in engineering in many aspects and have built up a broad range of skills and experiences over the last 39 years. My emphasis is very much on service. I am looking to build a relationship with my customers so I can provide high quality plumbing and heating services for a long time. To that end I do not recommend sticking plaster fixes and guarantee my workmanship for life. As an old school engineer I prefer to fix boilers rather than replace them, its more environmentally friendly and usually a cheaper alternative for my customers.I look forward to being of service to you.Richard Weir BSc.Managing Director.
