All my experience has been commercial and industrial my last two jobs were a chemical plant in oxford doing 25mm conduit and containment. And a block of flats in Reading doing hallway containment Basket, Tray and risers. Last year i mainly was doing officers and a Mercedes garage and a factory refurbishment.

I have all my own tools and drive but my van is currently off the road needing a clutch and I’ve not worked in months due to COVID no jobs etc

Have you tried looking through here.
 
Yes and no work there is no work out there for subcontracting it’s the worst I’ve seen it in my living history.

Round my way which really isn’t that far from London I can get the train to London in under half an hour if I chose to work there which I wouldn’t I’d never drive in London.

I’ve seen JIB gold card sparks in London advertised for £13 -£14 it’s pathetic I could earn more in Reading as a Electrical Improver.

I’m an Electrical improver I’m normally on £15-£16hr. I’ve also seen labourer rates around my way (Reading) for £13-£14 even £15 ?? What’s that all about ?

I know of 2 employment agencies gone down and I also no of someone close to me who has committed suicide.

If your finding it hard looking for work theres no point turning your nose up at paid work for slightly less. Not the right attitude IMO, some money is better than no money.

For a start I’m not turning my nose up at work ?

Where did you get that from ?

Nice attitude you have there pal

Hello

There seems to be a little confusion and some pseudo moralistic Virtue signalling going on to make people look good in front of their peers at my expense ?

At no point was I stating I wouldn’t work for a lower rate in a previous post I was just merely addressing the craziness of rates at the moment.

I have also worked for someone off this forum recently and that work was not turned away.

Cheers

Hello

Electrical improver looking for work in the Reading area I’ve just finished a Builders merchants doing Containment, Wiring, Second Fixing and Testing start to finish.

  • Own tools

** No I do not work away (Definition of away more than 1/2hr from Reading) I do not work in London.

I note the qualification you have put on your latest post, is this prompted by offers that have been made to you?
 
A bit of constructive criticism: your last paragraph could do with re wording, as it may put people off. It sounds a bit 'I won't do this and I won't do that'.
