No, I'm in Gloucestershire.
And I still wince when giving customers the price for a job. But that's how long the work takes and you have to make a living. And I can do it in maybe half the time the customer could (experience, knowlege and having the right kit). | |

It's gone up a bit over the last few years. Depends largely on your trade and skill level (plus what your customers will pay). | |

Have you thought about evening classes at college?
It's a great way to retrain.
I used to do a bit of part time work helping the evening students at Colchester intitute and it was fantastic to see people turn up and get stuck into something they really wanted to do.
No one can take an NVQ away from you.
If you can spare two evenings a week it could be a life changer.
I don't mind talking you through it if ever you want. |  | | |
