Hi

My OH not Corgi registered has basic gas fitting and works on large builds on heating, ventilation and air con (mechanical services and air conditioning plumber). Not sure if this is same as your OH.

We are having trouble finding stuff for his particular job in way of licensing we may be lucky in that he may only need restricted electrical license and he works on company licences. Despite emails to organisations over there no one has replied I am getting my info of someone elso on BE who is on same skill.

He doesnt do domestic stuff (as he keeps telling me when I want him to fix something)

We are still in UK waiting for ack taking ages had pccs done hope to be in Brisbane by christmas.

Hi Julie

Yes he has city and guilds and has over 20 years experience in heating, ventilating and air con, can do sprinkler systems and has worked on supplying medical gases to hospitals, worked in clean rooms installing multi million pound tools from micro chip factories, keeps telling me he is the best he has done most things. (Feel like I am writing his cv again.)

Not sure if it will count for anything over there because no one will reply to me despite sending numerous emails I know they probably get asked a 1000 times, but it is frustrating.

Has welding tickets as well so he could pursue that avenue I sometimes wish he could do domestic stuff then we could set up a small business and work for himself as and when.

We are hoping to go to Brisbane on the recommendation of people in same line of work as OH, but we shall see when time comes.
