Qualified plumbers are needed for a wide range of work – giving you opportunities to start your own business or gain full-time employment. Domestic work   Includes installation work on extensions and new houses, plus replacing existing bathrooms and kitchens. Maintenance work   To fix leaking pipework or replace items such as showers, taps, ball valves and heating pumps. You can get through quite a few of these small jobs in a day, and earn as much if not more than installing. Emergency callouts   Whenever there’s a major leak, a plumber needs to be called out to rectify the problem. New building sites   To install heating systems and hot and cold systems – including kitchens and bathrooms. This is known as ‘price work’ – where the more you install, the more you earn. Maintenance contracts   These enable you to receive regular income from establishments such as hotels, restaurants and offices. Full-time employment   Hospitals, factories and some major offices employ their own permanent plumber.
