I have been retired a year now, decorated the whole house, cut all the grass, built a new wall, been on a couple of trips around Asia, Africa, spent 8 weeks in Egypt

Now I'm getting bored, I want a bit of work, anyone know if any one is taking on any plumbers, around the West London area ?

I got shedloads of paper work, qualifications, used to work at LHR, so some of my qualifations are only related to Airport work (high pressure firemains, pumpimg stations, confined space work)

I used to look after all their houses (used by staff/managers/directors) so really domestic work there, but in the terminals, it was bog seats, wave on taps/flushes, blockages in pans and h/basins, installation and removal, renovations

I have paperwork for using high pressure jetters and camera's, working in confined spaces and at height, using full BA

Used to working on my own, own tools, havent got a van though, responsible, trustworthy

Any replies appreciated:)

what about just setting up on your own, advertising in the local paper and doing small jobs if you aint got no van?


Got a few ad's out there, but got nowhere with them, hence-------- anyone taking plumbers on:confused:

Got my name with a couple of buildes, but they got very little work, so they dont need me:(

Asked my mates, but they are plumbers as well and they do the PJ's:(
