Becoming a plumber

[Gassafewales]

Think carefully, Getting a job as a plumber is no easy task at present, as the market as been saturated with new plumbers starting up, also if you decide to progress onto gas, you should consider how long it will take and is the average wage for a gas engineer of 24000 per year in the uk really what you are expecting, yes you can earn more, but you need to be quick, accurate, and willing to push your own inner boundaries, check out my website www.gassafewales.co.uk , to be honest if you do want to become a plumber, get a couple of old plumbing books from the 70's and study them, they will make it easier, to digest modern systems, by showing you the principles of old school plumbing systems, which were harder work than today to install. Try gower college for courses there really good lecturers there. Good luck I honestly hope you can get given an oppurtunity.

Really? So all the other tools I have in my van are a waste of money then? The tiling is without doubt the main feature of any bathroom and you think it can be done with a level, a tile saw and a bit of good old common sense. Be a dear and put some pictures of your tiling up so I can see what type of quality common sense produces.

No reptile you need a dirty old towel to polish up as well

Push fit is ok if you cowboy. I like to use spanners. make me smile.

In Poland i had no work , in uk i undercut and plenty works.

[Ruff-Ass]

How would you tighten something if you ban spanners.?

I suppose you do need spanners to do the flexible connections up.

I was surprised they were allowed to build there, but now that you've mentioned a few names it all makes sense.
