The cheapest plumber call-out in London is £80. A new tap install runs £150 to £250. A radiator swap is £200 to £400. Bathroom installs run into the thousands.
The skills aren't complicated. They just aren't taught quickly anywhere. Most trade courses are 9 months long, cost £1,500+, and skip the part that actually matters — how to price the work and find the customers.
London Trade School is the course we wished existed when we got started. Five days. Hands-on from the first hour. Pricing modules built into every single day. Small groups, real tools, real outcomes.

Almost none teach you

We do both.
Why East London?
Because this is home. There are hundreds of thousands of people in East London who want a trade, an extra income stream, or just the confidence to fix their own property. The nearest intensive plumbing course is in Croydon. The colleges run 9-month programmes with waiting lists.
We built London Trade School to fill that gap — not for everyone, but for people who are ready to put the hours in, learn fast, and start earning.
Who runs it?
London Trade School was founded by Mohammed, a multi-business operator from East London with a background spanning wellness, property, and trade services. The day-to-day teaching is done by experienced tradespeople with decades of real-world experience — not academics, not theorists.
Every trainer we work with has done the job, run the business, and made the mistakes — so you don't have to.
