Income for plumbers is in accordance with nationally agreed rates.

Trainee plumbers earn between £12,000 and £15,000 a year.

Qualified plumbers earn around £18,500+ a year.

Experienced plumbers can earn from £22,500 upwards a year.

Self-employed plumbers may have higher earnings.

If the plumber took formal training offered by the UA for example and become a master plumber working alone and working a 30 hr work week it is very possible to gross over $200,000 per yr

Depending on the area of practice and what the master chooses to specialize in

As an expert witness one can expect $3,500 for an 8 hr day

As a consultant what ever the person feels is their worth

Even doing drain cleaning a "plumber" can make over $2,500 a day quite easily

Again depending on the Plumbing formal training one receives is directly proportional to their compensation
