Plumbing maintenance work only

[armyash]

Who here makes a living carrying out maintenance work only?

i know when money has to be made most of us would be prepared to do pretty much anything but who gets by replacing siphons, stopcocks etc?

hard to do I imagine but I know some guys who hate any type of install work.

You do learn so much from doing maintenance work I think. It shows you how others do work (good or bad) and what materials. It also teaches you the lifespan of materials and which to avoid.
Although variable, it can however be a lazy type of work. Going to fix a push button toilet just isn't going to raise a sweat

last job today on way home, replace fill spout (the plastic bit the water pours out off) on a torbec silent fill. 10mins £40 sorted.lol

Some interesting replies.

I have been in my current job 12months doing 95% maintenance and I have learnt so much. More in the last 12 months than the previous 3 years combined.

Still with Dyno ash?

Yes mate.

So far, so good.

You're right, some weeks I'm exhausted because of the driving and long hours. Not the actual work I do.

I'll second that!

Maintenance is great for me.
It's just getting enough of it to keep ye going.
Mainly service work
