How can you get commercial work these days?
Who the f wash car starting with wheels? 🤣 All abrasive brake pad dust will scratch paint on body 😎
Lol, those "posh sheds" turned out to be a necessity.
Now everyone is getting them
Thanks Nagy, I keep switching between smaller domestic jobs and larger commercial work through agencies. Probably a matter of focusing on one. Your videos are an inspiration.
Got the same deal …. a company who the owner (retired) a billionaire … owed me £14,000 for work I had done. I see him on local TV promoting his charity work …. It still sticks in my craw.
Good on you for picking up from all that!!
Fair play for your honesty and well done for picking yourself back up.
this unironically made me crack on with this long fucking application i'm doing… serious procrastination rn but this was motivating
Bloody heck, that's brave. I'd not even look at that brush knowing how much grit there is in it.
Misses the bottom of the door but washes the rear top quarter panel three times in the same place, my OCD is through the roof haha
I have worked those hours – the times nobody else wants and before I turned 50 the mortgage had been paid off. Keep up the good work Thomas
Great video upload.. Well done to you for over coming life challenges and driving forward!! All the best for the future! I’ve now subscribed! 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks Thomas that’s really good experience bankruptcy and lost £30K wow, but always think forward because a man can fallen bad but get up and started all over again keep your faith doing the good job keep work as long as work there even Christmas Day thanks Tom
Are you still living in Brent, I'm in watford and came across with clients that are looking for an electrician, happy to pass over details if I have any
Regards Peter

I'm more impressed with the amount soap coming out of that brush. In Texas we sure wish we can have a car wash like that
Enjoyed listening to your journey except for the constant swearing, which if you think about it, is not not really needed and it demeans your character. Get yourself a swear box and put a fiver in for every time you swear and weather watch it mount up or do yourself a favour and quit swearing when doing videos and in general, it’s not needed.
very honest mate, well done on not giving up.
seeing him mostly talking, with the foam spilling off the brush for £1 per minute I gather…he learned sh*t about money xD PS. are the prices in London that crazy? it probably costs £3-4k to rewire the whole house anywhere in the country…
This is a great video. I'd like to have a beer with you. Great personality and I learned some things from you. Very cool, and amusing.
Wow you been though some crap ain’t ya, fair play for pushing forward mate, onwards and upwards.
Hat off to you mate for making the best of what you can picking yourself back up from bad times to what you have become
Well done you
U have the courage talking about it on camera . Not everyone do !! Well done
This was the type of talk i needed to hear im 16 and wanna be an electrician
Lovely grounding story mate. I worked Xmas eve too… even New Year’s Day – Albeit just a quick element change on mates hob. Fek the haters. You got good tools, good people working for you and a good spread of electrical knowledge. Onwards and upwards!!! Did rewatch the falling lid tho a few times tho a few episodes back,,, save the meter.. oh fuk..oh fuk… wow!! A lot of people would keep that out – just shows you show it as it is and show the ups and downs. If your ever up Nw shout me, would be nice to have a McDonald’s with you. I’m with napit- don’t think we are worthy of even you guys spitting on us.. lol joke…. kinda
Decent video I'm in same situation, have most qualifications need to get NICEIC registered now but haven't done jobs on my own. 2021 is going to be a very different year I think. You can either take the risk and do what you got to do or you can be employed and make someone else rich all your life that's the way I see it. £4500 for a kitchen might have to look at relocating to London 😉
Thanks. Simple honest advice.
Well done mate 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're doing whats right by you. Live and learn and move on.
Well done Lad, more strength to you 👍
I recently became self employed and this months been really rough, but this video really helped out. I’ve still got work, I’m just gonna keep at it everyday and slowly get myself out of the slump I’ve got myself in.
Wow wasn't expecting that, fair play
Great honest vid. Thank you.
I’m slowly working through your videos.
Wow. You’ve been through the mill mate!
I’ll keep watching.
I appreciate your honesty here mate. Most people are too proud to admit they've been through the shit and will sugar coat their experience so you feel like you are the only one who has ever made a mistake. Huge respect for getting back on the horse. I wish you all the best.
Thanks for being honest 👍
MJN Colston were a very big outfit …. Sure they had offices around the UK
I'm not an electrician but i do work in AV installs. Any job i get myself i always get parts paid upfront, so i've never needed a credit account with wholesalers – do electricians not do this? If not why not?
Man the solid steel balls on this guy, starting a business straight after his apprenticeship essentially, really honestly hats off to you man.
Bankrupt been there got the T-shirt so I too restarted it can be done.
I was a Self Employed Electrician at 40 I went back to college at 40 to learn
Loved being an Electrician. Living in Thailand now but still doing a bit.
Like your videos. Well done.
Dirty trade but glad you sorted yourself out and thanks for sharing your experiences 👍 keep going hard work always pays off
Casualty of 2008 recession and now again of Covid-19 here. Currently doing my foundation in electrical installations now and hoping to get an apprenticeship on completion
Hey just watched your vid, I thought I recognised the petrol garage, that's Kilburn.
I live in Kilburn, I'm level 3 18th edition, years experience.. Do you need a hand?
Absolute legit guy. I like your character as a person no matter how much s#%t you’ve taken you keep moving forward. Hopefully one day myself join as an apprentice electrician.
P.s it’s literally killing me the way you are washing the van! First wet the vehicle then soap foam brush on windows then metal body parts then finally alloy wheels because the dust, residue can scratch the paint from the wheels.
My heart breaks for the paint on that van
Great vid. There are some real lessons there. First get the work. Don't let suppliers credit get too much. Don't give credit to customers unless there is an agreement for payment. Demand payment on completion. I was a pty ltd drafting contractor for 30 years and loved it.
It looks a if you are well on the way now Tom – just keep doing what pays best. commercial or real estate jobs seems good without having to deal with householders who are often cash strapped and shifty.
