Trainee Plumber/ Mate - Looking for experience/work in Norfolk

[jamesyboy]

Hi are there any Plumbers in Norfolk who need a trainee plumber/mate? I am 31 years of age, have completed my City & Guilds Level 2 Plumbing and will have completed my Level 3 next month. To date I have written and phoned numerous Plumbing companies seeking work experience and have had no luck. I am sensible, fast learning and honest. I have my own transport and am building up my own tool kit. I have passed my CSCS test. I am willing to work for low rates of pay or for free and will pay for my own personal public liability insurance if necessary.

Thanks
Adam

Hello Adam,:welcome:to the forum.
keep contacting firms near to you and hopefully you will get a positive reply.
you could also try getting a bit of plumbing work yourself, probably friends and family then call someone in to assist you (paid), and build up a working relationship.

Sorry Fifi, none of us on this forum do 'cash in hand' jobs.
I couldn't live with myself knowing that I'd cheated the exchequer...

My accountant gave me this advice about cash jobs as most of our jobs are domestic customers paying with notes:
"Just in case the temptation arises,I guarantee you that you are not smart enough to outsmart the Tax Man. Invoice/receipt every job to every customer and make sure I see everything. If they want a 'cash' price give them one then get it in your invoice book and a receipt to customer. If they don't want a receipt, fine that's their choice but I still want to see the job in your books".
He was very serious and I don't doubt his assessment about my lack of smartness. I don't need the hassle of a two bit job undoing my whole business and I'm paying good money for him to do his job. Everything gets invoiced/receipt. Customers who pursue the cash in hand no receipt route get the same price and I just write the stuff out in the van. I guess they think its them and me against the system but it isn't. I'd be the only one to suffer. I guess the penalties are even worse if Vat is involved?
