Well I wish you the very best. It's not a good time trying to break into many trades at the moment. (there's not exactly a booming house market).
The gap for plumbers and electricians that was around in the 90's has been filled and then some. As a plumber since I was a lad, I've noticed more, and more vans, and of course I've also noticed that I haven't been able to up my rates for around 3 years, which when you look at inflation isn't good.
But if you are set on doing it, good luck and don't put too much money into getting 'qualified' (my first plumbing qualification cost £300 for two years, which I did in the evenings, while I worked for my Dad during the day, he's a plumber....which is the way many get into any trade).
Best of luck, hope it works out.
