I'm looking for a UK based Carpenter/Decorator to co-invest with me.

The concept is a highly marketable never-done-before concept. Home interiors designed for how easy they are to clean and maintain. The average home has poorly designed interior.

1. No installed access for plumbers / electritions, which means they have to destroy often ireplacable tiles, wood floors, vanity units to get to the plumbing or electrics.

2. Ergonomically, the kitchen is the most poorly designed room in any home. The bin is usually far from the sink, which means left over food waste is harder to clear away. Walls and ceilings are not coated in easy-to-clean wall paint, so they collect grease. The sink is liable to splash water during dish cleaning (restaurant styled extendable hose taps are the best option). More to list

3. Homes have dozens of nooks and crannoes and surfaces to collect dust and dirt. Certain spaces are impossible to reach with normal cleaning equipment (like the gap between the toilet and wall/vanity).

This requires a small investment of 5K . My role will be manager, advertiser and sales rep.

Your job will be the labour and logistics. As I see it you will be doing the heavy lifting so a 70-30 split to you is fair, in my opinion.

If we procees we must brainstorm more examples of the easy-clean features I listed. I figure with your expertise you're bound to come up with ideas that I haven't. I will take these ideas and create video ads to spread throughout the internet. I reckon facebook will be particularly useful as I have years of experience advertising there.

We must meet face to face, exchange details, sign contracts. If you're interested make a trip code and get through to me. Any questions are welcome.

There’s no value in any of that mate, someone who is handy will find a way. The next tradesman will charge the same and probably plaster over your well thought out access hatches, and anyone can move their bin to a better place.

A vast number of bins are housed within the kitchen unit.

As for detached bins like you're describing, they can be moved, but the problem we are trying to solve is the distance between the bin and sink. Food scrapings cannot be removed completely without water. Another fix for this problem is a special in-sink bin that functions like a cooking-water-strainer. It catches all the food waste while dispensing all the water into the sink. Then you simply lift the strain and empty it into your bin.

We are selling our customers time and comfort. Who doesn't want that?

OP, really, this is nothing new and especially not a 'never-done-before concept'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauhaus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_kitchen
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svensk_k%C3%B6ksstandard

There are maintenance/inspection flaps for plumbing on the market. They are roughly the size of one or multiple standard tiles so they can be equipped with a tile and fit into the tilied surface more or less seamlessly.
Concealed cable ducts are already a thing too so you can easily access your cables by simply removing the outlets and replace or extend your in house wiring. No damage done.

There are multiple companies and planners that will gladly build an industrial style kitchen that fits an individual's needs. A regular interior architect can do this as well. The tricky part is making a practical design look good. I don't want to be a dick but right now you don't come across as the kind of person who is capable of creating such a design. This also applies to the rest of the house: the easier it is to clean the more sterile it will look. Designers are generally not paid for their idea but for a working and attractive implementation.

My kitchen already has the bin underneath the sink btw. There are whole product lines that efficiently use the space underneath the sink which is great to house a bin.

A sieve in the sink creates its own problems. It clogs and it is hard to clean itself. It's not as easy as taking it out and emptying it into the bin. In the US there are those shredders for the sink that allow you to bypass the bin completely and while far from perfect they're a better solution.

Lastly this is a /biz/ thread, not a /diy/ one because you are literally not going to do anything yourself. Nobody in their right mind will look for a business partner on 4chan and front them 5k GBP while having to do all the actual work and contribute all the know how.

This is exactly why I'm here. Expert insight from actual tradesmen. Although you are not doing me justice with your descriptions. Marketing is as challenging as carpentry. We dont get regular 9-5s, we have to regularly work overtime because marketing is the oxygen that a business needs to live and then eventually thrive.

pragmatic house planning, i like it.
uk based carpenter/decorator here but i'm enjoying working in a factory workshop too much right now. keep searching.
I'm basically planing to do what you;re saying when i get a house, make proper access to all amenities and not even hide some of them; i love the look of polished copper pipes but i've also imagined electrical cables in conduit with a scrollwiork design, maybe even fancy end caps / terminations like fine carpentry- would leave cables totally accessible without destroying walls and still looks rad. heck you could even make the conduit clear and run LED wires down it for a cyberpunk look.

But really how much marketing is there to be done for a single handyman? At the size you're starting out with marketing is not a full job.
Also I'm not an expert or a tradesman and most people here aren't. I think what I know is more or less common knowledge to anyone that sometimes deals with kitchens.
Sorry but like most good ideas your's is already taken.
