Can I ask how old you are ? you sound as if you do not mind getting your hands dirty. What area of the country do you live in?
Have a go and see if you can train as a Plumber, don't laugh , it is not like the old days were you had to spend years.
A bit about me , retired this year after 44 years as a Marine engineer. Currently living out in Spain. Last week my German neighbour was having problems with a leaking toilet and I noticed he had a few taps dripping as well. Took me an hour and a few beers to sort things out for him. What do I owe you? get away I am your neighbour!! €40.00 he insisted. So far this week just by word of mouth I have 10 jobs on ranging from overhauling swimming pool pumps and filters, new bathroom suite to fit, shower cubicle to replace etc! I do not really want the work as said I am retired. The work should take me about two weeks to do looking at €4000.00.
Train as a Plumber if possible, a good busy plumber in the London area can earn up to £2500.00 a week if he chases the work, leaking tap less than 5 minutes work £40.00 as most of that will be a standard call out charge anyway.
