In this episode of Off The Job Podcast Overtime, hosts Pete Withers and Kieran Yates dive into the realities of the building trade versus what’s taught in college. From outdated training methods like lead work and pipe bending in vices, to real-world shortcuts and practical solutions, they explore what really happens on site.
They also debate the start of “silly season” for plumbers and gas engineers, why boiler servicing should be done in summer, and whether trades should charge differently for plumbing vs gas work. Expect heated discussions on call-out rates, job pricing, and whether sparks, plumbers, or builders should get first dibs when running services on site.
Packed with trade insights, industry rants, and relatable stories, this episode is a must-listen for plumbers, gas engineers, electricians, builders, and apprentices alike.
