Why this works in East London
Demand in East London is strong, and the work is a fair share of repeat work. Setting up is a bit of work, and you could be paid for your first job within a few weeks.
Where the first customers come from
- Electrical retailer referrals
- WhatsApp Business
- Local Facebook groups
- Gumtree
Before you take on work
- Public liability insurance
- Fixings must suit the wall type; plasterboard needs the right anchors
- Cable concealment inside a wall becomes electrical work if it touches fixed wiring
