You are a bit far away from me but if I get anything your way I may be able to offer a little free work experience if that is of any interest. what is your availability like as it may be short notice.
 
good luck :)

don't worry too much about the physical side, with this game its your head that counts 90% of the time

the other 10% you can always get someone to lend a hand !!!

my little suggestion would be to market yourself to firms as you're happy to specialise in boiler services and repairs.

sharp learning curve to that and patience is key!
too many firms make their bread and butter on installs
they fail to capitalise if they offer the servicing and repairs as the jam ontop, they would bring in twice as much !!!

to get your foot in the door offer to work odd days for free to get experiance before they commit, its quite a daunting thing taking a trainee on, particularly an older one who will potentially be hard to mould

again, good luck !!!

will you stop giving away the best kept secrets of plumbing and heating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
i really appreciate that thank you i dont get much spare time with work and college but i would do my best to make myself available definately

Cath,

I wish you all the best in your endeavours.

If you can, head down the service side of things. It far easier on the body, generally more challenging and it pays far better than doing volume construction work.
( in most cases )

But saying that, get your foot in the door wherever you can.

they all hop off the ferry over here gabbling away in some funny lingo, but that may just be due to excess alcohol intake on the way over

Can anyone recommend a decent multi meter, preferably under a 100 pounds. It's for checking boiler components so I don't need a top spec one ....just easy to use and reliable. The fluke 115 looks good but its above my budget. My current socket and see one was great but it's developed a fault.

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...
