Summary

I have been working as a roof plumber from the age of 16, I have sound knowledge of the trade and knowledge of the safety requirements involved in numerous roof plumbing tasks. Recently I have been working in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. I enjoy my job as every day there's something new to do. I have built a name for myself in Perth in the roofing world, knowing that word of mouth is a powerful tool in such small industry compared to other trades.
