Wouldnt we all mate. the education system stinks. got classrooms full of kids that dont give a monkeys yet have all the oppertunities and then older learners like myself who want to knuckle down and learn a trade and they close off all avenues. its a load of ballcocks

R1CKY, I would humble suggest that you have neither knowledge or the experience to make this statement "Plumbing isn't a difficult trade" it is the most difficult of all to practice well. I have seen & worked with most of the trades & can say with some confident's that none come close. Plumbing is not just about pushing a few pipes together it covers such a wide range of disciplines & materials.

I may not have been in the trade as long as some on here (6 years since the age of 18) but I have plenty of experience and knowledge of the trade. Perhaps I didn't word that correctly. What I meant was once some experience, knowledge and confidence has been gained, along with a decent understanding of the trade and a good dose of common sense, everything should fall in to place fairly easily.

£20 is to cheap. For me i dont give a price, unless the job is a decent value i.e a boiler change/new bathroom where you can easily absorb a 1hr setback , I always charge a minimum 1hr and take it from there. Like others have already mentioned on a small job like that, your running on such a tight margin anything goes wrong youre out of pocket. Youre running a business not a charity.
