Naturally, I've created it to tell you about me and what I do in the hope that some of you will consider becoming my customer. However, I’ve also set it up to share information - I’ve found members of the plumbing and heating community generous in this respect so this is part of my attempt to join in.

Some pages – “Home tips” - are aimed at customers & householders, while the “Tech Notes” contain technical information for professional colleagues or students of science who will see basic rough & ready science used to produce results of practical value.

I'd be pleased to have suggestions, and do let me know if there's something I've not made clear or you'd like me to add.

You can check me out on the Gas Safe register by clicking on the link below, and entering the numbers shown, depending on whether you’re checking me as an individual engineer or a business (sorry about the photo!):
