Started off labouring for a family run fencing company when I left school and landscaping , so worked my way through the ranks so to speak ...
Wanted to try my hands at building work so become a laborer on a few sites for a few years...
Started a new job for a garage conversion company for 3 years where I learned a few skills , including teething out brickwork , window fitting , stud work , insulating  with celotex, tacking / dot and dabbing , floor screeds and floating floors (t and g) and also painting decorating which is what I'm mainly doing at the moment now I've moved on and working for myself .
