Is £450 to change a basin waste daylight robbery? 🤯
In this Overtime episode of Off The Job Podcast, the lads go deep into rogue trader pricing, inflated labour costs, admin fees, and how bad practices damage the reputation of honest tradespeople.
Alongside the rant, Pete talks juggling stand-up comedy and trade work, bombing with new material, exhaustion from long days, and the realities of life on the open mic circuit. The episode is packed with unfiltered trade banter, including:
- Overcharging in plumbing and call-out fees
- Trades that complain the most (and finish earliest on Fridays 👀)
- Useless tools and social media gimmicks
- Van mess, site arguments, and trade stereotypes
- “Day in the life” content and how social media is changing the trades
- Learning skills the hard way with no formal training
- Health scares, getting older, and real conversations trades don’t usually have
- Whether gas engineers and plumbers should move into renewables — and how to train for free
Funny, raw, and brutally honest, this episode is a must-listen for plumbers, electricians, builders, engineers, and anyone working in the trades — or thinking about getting into them.
