There is a shortage of good plumbers.

Obviously a slow news day or the reporter of the story had a new bathroom fitted and it cost more than the ÂŁ10 he or she expected lol
I must of seen 10 new vans kicking around over the past month. There is no shortage down here.
Most vans I see have Plumbing mentioned among a plethora of other things the company "specialises" in. Saw a van yesterday that had "Audio and Visual Design" included in the same list as Plumbing. So are they really plumbers? If we defined a plumber as someone who has done plumbing as main occupation for at least 2 years then I think there is a real shortage of plumbers.
The issue is that most plumbing doesnt get done by plumbers..
I had one last week changing a pump that had cocked out for a solicitor ,he says his game aint what its cracked up to be no money unless you head to the big cities.
He then says he is looking to r etrain as a plumber !!!

Just been sitting my gas again....5 taxi drivers there doing gas courses ......they all think they will make fortune when they are qualified ......eek
I know around the Plymouth area their is on average 600 + plumbers that's about 1 for every 30 head of population take off the number living in council & Housing Associations and it's brings that down to about 1 for every 15 to20 private customers , so that's why Plumbers earnings in this area are very poor. Some would be better off working for the living wage rate of ÂŁ7.20

Never believe solicitors, - they lie for a profession. :grin:
Every letter, phone call, or hour for a client is chargeable with them.
When was the last time any plumber charged a customer for advice over the phone, or even letters and quotes?
That's a very positive outlook MatchlessFree estimations / quotes ... Wasting petrol / time and you need to fight for job with hundreds of other engineers.
