So what do you call yourself and why how do you justify it ?
Not that I care what you want to be called but would love to hear as seems to be these days everyone wants some kind of grandiose title but really why ?
 
Heating Engineer if someone asks the question.
I am not gas qualified, but hate it when I get the remark - " he's a heating engineer " when someone refers to a gas guy who often is useless. What they are saying is that I am just a plumber.
Really though, I hate the way most jobs in this country are described in snobby imaginative terms, designed to impress. Everybody seems to be a manager or an assistant manager.

Plumber, heating engineer, gas/ service engineer, that guy who does wata and gas stuff.......... All the same value in my book so call me what you like 🙂


Bathroom fitter, kitchen fitter ..... These titles should be banned.

Plumber, very simple!

Specialist bathroom and kitchen fitter always makes me laugh especially when it's followed by bricklayer and gardener!

I TBH prefer heating engineer, it's what i spent most of my years on site doing and what i prefer.
Service engineer floats my boat too, plumber well I'll put that 3rd.
