whats your back ground, if your self employed you must of been in the game some years an would know how to repair boilers..

 

[larkin125]

if I knew how to repair boilers I wouldn't be asking the question. is there a new time limit before you can become self employed?

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

no. just if i was a customer i would expect a gasman to know what he is doing. wouldn't you?

 

[larkin125]

a gas man would likewise a boiler service/repair man would too, different areas dont you think, it's called specialising

 

[onlyfitidealboilers]

no. you either can or carn't fit/service/&fix boilers.

i would not employ any installer to fit my boiler, who said to me "oh sorry queen i carn't service your boiler next year cause to be honest i dont know how!"

same goes for repairing it.

sounds like you need a few years at british gas..

 

[larkin125]

am sure i said repair. yes british gas would teach me a bit on *REPAIR* And i install quality jobs along with a service but like i said firstly i wanted to get into repairing like technical good job i dont have to work for someone like you aint it..

Find some broken boilers and try to fix them. You'll make mistakes but you have to take the rough with the smooth. You'd be better off working for a company and gaining experience that way, otherwise jobs you take on will end up costing YOU money.
