I am at a point in my life where I seriously want to change my career from IT where I earn about 50K to doing some form of Plumbing/ bathroom/ Kitchen fitting and am trying to find out if I need any qualifications to do this.
I have renovated and installed 2 bathrooms in my house doing all the work from building the stud walls, Wiring (I know wiring in a bathroom, It was signed off by an electrician), Plumbing, installation of the Sanitary ware and shower cubical, Tilling (Floor and Walls). I have also replaced Immersion heaters and toilet filling valves.
So I know this does not make me an expert by any stretch of the imagination but I am thinking of starting my own business in domestic Plumbing with Bathroom/ Kitchen fitting.
There is a 5 day course in plumbing and Bathroom fitting that is £495 at Construction Skill College that is appealing. Any thoughts on this?
Also, If doing bathroom fitting where do you stand with regards to electrics? By this I mean simply loosening the plates to fit tiles behind them. Can you move the sockets or do you need to be qualified to do that?
Any Idea on what kind of money I can expect doing this?
Thanks for any pointers
