Hi chug, I know it's been a while since you enquirer on here. I am interested to know how you got on with your working abroad as a plumber, I too am uk qualified nvq3 and am trying to figure out best route to working abroad as a plumber but am constantly hitting brick walls due to qualifications not being recognised , did you go abroad and work as a plumber , did you have to retrain or what, any advice you can offer from experience would be great thanks

Great money for plumbers in Afghanistan! Obviously some negative points but if you make it home alive you'll be rich. Less risky than London!

 

[lame plumber]

Thats probably true. I have a sparky mate who has been out there for about 7 or 8 years now on really good money. He works for some american companies but he has been doing that for a long time now.
The down side is your bus to work is liable to get hit by an ied. His was just before christmas and 1 contractor died and 3 or 4 seriously injured.
But he tells me it is better than Kosovo where they would lob mortars over the camp perimeter at night :lol:

Afghanistan NO GAS SAFE INSPECTIONS NO BULDING REGS RUBBISH NO NEW COURSES DREAMT UP FOR US TO GO ON SOUNDS GOOD TO ME

 

[lame plumber]

Afghanistan might not be such a good idea if the rest of the army is pulling out soon, taliban might not consider your gas safe quls are worth much as your dangling by your toes in their cave

LONDONS A WASTE OF TIME

It become very poor, ant get around, expensive to live nobody wants to pay, 40% immigrants who in my experience do not comply with gas regulations, out of 100 calls NONE had gas certificates, all none Europeans, its a joke the capital and the poorest standards in Europe its a huge cash cow and scam.

ILEGAL GAS ENGINEERS DO BETTER IN LONDON... STAY AWAY 35 YEARS EXPEREINCE I HAVE A VERY POOR TOWN

Dont live in london but....
You can charge what you want Fonta. Whether anybody is prepared to pay it is another matter.
You can also charge top money anywhere in the country for emergency work. Its not just limited to london

I hear lots of things, but listen to little.

Its like saying everything you read in the Sun is actually true.
