Hello people,

I am 32 years old and I'm looking at changing my job, plumbing interests me.

What is the best route into this industry?

My skills are very basic. I can change taps, work with most common copper joints and obviously push fit joints/plastic pipe etc, in short I've picked these very basic skills up through DIY working on my house and family's homes. No leaks as yet ;)

I would be happy to hear any advice from those who have been there and done it and wished they'd done it different at the start.

Thank you,

Mr Essex
