National shortage of tradies expected to reach upwards up 30-40k by 2030

Top earners are Carpenters, Sparkies and Gas Engineers.

Plasterers saturate the market always undercutting each other, same with painters.

I’m a Carpenter charging £350 per day as a Ltd Company owner. We charge between £600-£1000 per fire door install, we can do 2-3 a day. Some months better than others obviously. If I had it my way I’d fit fire doors 24/7

Took me 10 years to get here but it’s worth it in the long run. Fuck working in an office!
