In this video, the difficulties of what a Kent plumber, Jay, has to deal with on a daily basis in the trade will be expressed. The cost-of-living crisis will be a topic of discussion. Jay has had to put up his rates for his plumbing business in order for it to go in line with inflation. Brexit will be a topic of discussion as well. The number of people working in trade in the UK has fallen since Brexit. We have a look at how that can impact Jay’s occupation.

You may have noticed that he was fixing a toilet throughout the video while explaining his difficulties. I filmed this for B-roll shots.
