Most people don't need to be plumbers, sparkies and decorators all at once — but homeowners, landlords and anyone dreaming of going self-employed keeps meeting the same jobs. This course deals with them all, hands-on, one trade at a time.
Property maintenance is in demand and this course is built for it: the practical skills, an honest assessment, and a whole day on pricing, finding work and dealing with customers.
Stop paying call-out fees for jobs you could do yourself. Ten days covers the repairs and refreshes that eat most maintenance budgets.
No experience needed. Small groups, step-by-step guidance, and every day hands-on — you build confidence with every skill.
Every day is hands-on practical training — small class sizes, all tools and materials provided, step-by-step guidance.
Soldering & copper pipework, compression & push-fit, taps & mixers, toilets & cisterns, sinks, wastes & traps, radiators & valves, leaks, faults & fixes, outside taps. The full plumbing foundation from our 3-Day course, at a steadier pace.
Laminate flooring done properly: tools and preparation, cutting and fitting, door trims, finishing borders. Clean, professional finish.
Measuring and cutting, fitting skirting boards, internal and external corners, architrave around doors, mitres and joints, neat finishing.
Home electrics explained, consumer unit basics, changing sockets, ceiling roses and lights, one-way switches, safety and good practice. Awareness for simple jobs done safely — not electrician certification, and we'll always say so.
Drill, driver and bits; screws, plugs and anchors; fixing to brick, block and plasterboard; choosing the right tool; safe working practices.
Preparation and protection, cutting in neatly, roller techniques, painting walls and ceilings, doors and woodwork. The finish people actually notice.

Not quite ready? Additional training and reassessment is £250 per day — extra time, extra practice, on the areas you need. My goal is your success.
