Starting your own plumbing service, means that all small plumbing jobs are possible for you to do without the necessary qualifications.

These small jobs would include such things as replacing washers and small pipes, otherwise you would need to be more qualified for dealing with most of the other plumber work .

Plumbing Service – Qualifications

If you have the qualifications on the other hand, then this is a great business to be in, as there are always people desperate to find a ‘good’ plumbing service.

However, if you have not got the necessary qualifications, to get started in the plumber business sector, you could attend a course on the subject so that you would be qualified for all the plumbing repairs which you would be called upon to fix and no doubt would also have to consider that you would have to offer a 24 hour plumber service.

Alternatively, you could become a plumbing apprentice if you could persuade a plumbing business to take you on part time, say on your free Saturdays.  But this would depend on work regulations, which constantly change.
