Hi, I'm about to start working for myself and wondered if you guys could help...
I'm a plumber and have a good idea what I can and can't do without a competent persons scheme (it seems I can't join one until I've got 5 years under my belt) but I'm also doing a bit of general building maintenance.
Is there a comprehensive list anywhere of things that are/aren't notifiable works? I'm confident with roofing, putting up stud walls, decorating etc and learning about the rest as I go.
I'm about to do a job re-painting a friends house and want to advertise off my tower scaffold, but not if it's going to get me into trouble. Do I need permission to block the pavement for an afternoon?
I'm getting the insurance sorted and obviously will be paying tax on my earnings but knowing what I'm not allowed to do seems like a minefield!
I'm also unsure whether I can fit solar thermal without accreditation. I have the relevant qualifications and could get a friendly plumber to sign off any new cylinder.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
