Roy Lee – Roy Lee Plumbing and Heating Limited
2026 marks a proper milestone for Roy Lee—40 years in the plumbing and heating trade, along with 18 years running his own business, Roy Lee Plumbing and Heating Limited. It’s a career built the right way: proper training, years on the tools, and a reputation earned through honest work.
Starting Out the Proper Way – City & Guilds Apprenticeship
Roy began his career with a City & Guilds Craft Apprenticeship, learning the trade hands-on, as it should be.
That kind of training means:
Learning directly from experienced tradesmen
Gaining real, practical experience—not just theory
Understanding systems properly from the ground up
Developing pride in doing a job right
It’s a solid foundation that stays with you—and it shows in the standard of work delivered today.
18 Years Running His Own Business
In 2008, Roy set up Roy Lee Plumbing and Heating Limited, bringing years of experience into his own company.
Since then, the business has been built on:
Turning up when promised
Doing the job properly
Giving honest advice
Treating customers’ homes with respect
Most work comes through repeat customers and recommendations—which speaks for itself.
Gas Safe Registered – Keeping Things Safe
Roy is registered with the Gas Safe Register, which is a legal requirement for anyone working on gas in the UK.
Being Gas Safe Registered means:
Fully qualified and regularly assessed
Work carried out safely and to current standards
Peace of mind for customers that appliances are safe
OFTEC Registered – Oil Heating Covered
Roy is also registered with OFTEC, covering oil-fired systems.
This means:
Qualified to install and service oil boilers
Work carried out in line with regulations
Safe, efficient systems for off-gas properties
Member of the CIPHE – Professional Standards
As a member of the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (CIPHE), Roy is part of a recognised professional body within the trade.
This reflects:
A commitment to doing things properly
Keeping up with industry changes
Maintaining high standards of workmanship
Engineering Technician – Recognised by the Engineering Council
Roy is also registered with the Engineering Council as an Engineering Technician (EngTech).
This is a recognised professional standard and means:
Proven technical competence in the engineering field
Assessed skills, knowledge, and practical ability
A commitment to professional standards and ongoing development
Recognition beyond the trade—within the wider engineering industry
It’s not something handed out lightly—it reflects years of experience and the ability to apply that knowledge properly on the job.
40 Years of Experience That Matters
Over four decades, Roy has worked on just about every type of system going—from older gravity-fed setups to modern high-efficiency boilers and controls.
The industry has changed, but the approach hasn’t:
Do the job properly. Don’t cut corners. Make it last.
Built on Trust
Roy Lee Plumbing and Heating Limited has built its reputation on:
Reliability
Honest, straightforward advice
Quality workmanship
Long-term fixes—not quick patches
That’s why customers return and recommend the business.
A Thank You
Reaching 40 years in the trade and 18 years in business wouldn’t be possible without the continued support of loyal customers. It’s genuinely appreciated.
Looking Ahead
While this is a big milestone, it’s still business as usual—providing a dependable service, keeping homes safe, warm, and working as they should.
40 years in the trade. 18 years running the business. Proper training, proper standards, and a job done right.
