Hi! You have an interesting business idea. There are several factors that play a role when it comes to transforming the idea into a profitable business. I think it would be great if you could give us more information because it would be easier then to tell you if the business idea is something you should go for or not.

1. Have you got experience when it comes to sales?
2. Have you worked in the plumbing and heating sector?

To get sales you will have to take trade away from existing plumbing and heating supplies businesses. Presumably the people fitting such things already buy from places.

Also which all channels you plan to use for marketing ?

The web is full of plumbing and heating companies and the competition is cut throat.
You will need to get contracts with manufacturers and suppliers and spend a lot on SEO and advertising to be visible.
Been doing this for 10 years now and it's harder now than it was when we started
