Mature Plumber looking for work in South London/Surrey

[r69bp]

Hi guys

OK I guess I am one of millions on here looking for an opening into the world of heating & plumbing
I came into plumbing finally in 2011 after doing a City & Guilds Level 2 plumbing course at Central Sussex College.
I was lucky enough to get some good work experience with a qualified engineer who would use me for a maximum 2-3 days a week but it was not very regular,however I did gain an enormous amount of knowledge as he is from the old school which was brilliant not insulting younger guys!!

I Helped him with boiler installs,full heating systems ,Hot water Cylinders,Mega-flow,power flushing,reactive maintenence and underfloor heating as good experience,I did also do some very small commercial plumbing that he did at a school.
I am fully competent with soldering copper,LCS and HDPE what ever application you wish to use.

But sadly since I did my ACS course at the Carshalton college at the end of last year he has not needed me and I have been looking around asking anyone and everyone if they would give someone like me a chance to see what I am capable of and take it from there but no bites yet.

I was hoping for a positive response from your good selves on here and not scrupulous agencies who lead you mainly up the garden path and I have even been told I am too old.
But I know someone will take that leap of faith and hopefully see what can be achieved given the right chance
I do drive and have my own car I have some tools as well I am in South London and am happy to travel within the realms of a job.

Thank you all for taking the time to read yet another desperate persons story to gain some grounding hope to hear from someone.

Thanks again

PS not sure to leave my mobile or wait for someone to PM.
