hello everybody,
just joined today,about 2 years ago
i passed my c&g 6129,since then ive been s/e
and picking quite a bit of work up,mainly bathroom suites,
about 4 or somert,taps,and bits here and there.
would anyone be so kind to advice me what to aim for next,
is it exspensive to go for boiler performance testing,
and what kind of time scale this will take.i live in lincolnshire
and the domestic side of things seems to me pretty slow.
thanks gray.

Welcome, when you say boiler checks, do you mean how much does it cost to get gas registered? Well I worked a year for free to get my portfolio, then paid to go to college and take my exams, then I paid to join gas safe, then I paid for a flue gas analyser, then i paid for my energy efficiency course etc etc.

Add it all up and that comes to........................ expensive
