Just a general question how are the trades finding it going back again at the moment phones starting to ring again or are you still quiet in general

Still very quiet here. I should get my SEISS money next week which will fill the gap. All I am doing at the moment is essential work, which is mostly breakdowns in rented property and then mostly very small jobs so not earning a lot at all.
If the SEISS scheme does not get extended (like the furlough scheme has been) then I think it is going to be a very lean year.
But here in Scotland we have not "gone back" yet.

starting to get busy here now many are going back to work. some jobs still on hold though until they start opening though
I'm quiet at the moment

nowt on.....tidying garage and stuff and actually enjoying the break

Work is quite low down on the priority list
stay alert
the country is short of LERTS

My input doesn't really count on this as my position is semi retired , electrician's knees and a few other problems . The last recession wiped out 90% of regular customers , illness took my regular builder too soon so I no longer actively seek work . Usually do a couple of small jobs per week .
Next week slightly different , changing some fuseboards in a pub , one 16 way fairly straightforward , 2nd one for the kitchens will be awkward . In the middle of a nearby town but on the plus side , we've been given a parking bay right next to the rear entrance.

"It Just Is"
Well I’ve gone back only finding digs to stay in is a whole new battle and that’s with a letter classifying us as key workers :C might be easier just to not bother at this time.
been back at work for 3 weeks, only becuase I got some decent work in empty property. I have noticed week on week, the number of trade vans is increasing along with general traffic, fact is people need to earn.
hit, nail and head springs to mind ...
whilst the SEISS is welcome , to successful people it’s way short of what we need to earn ,
