How is the construction business in London?

We are planning on moving to London this summer. My husband is a licensed General Contractor here where we live. However, he doesn't think he is going to get his contractors license in Scotland. At least not right away til he gets a feel for the industry there first. In the meantime, he would want to work for someone else. He is an excellent contractor with over 26 + years in the industry, but he wants to get away from framing and go into more finish work, cabinet construction and install, remodeling, decks, patios, add ons, etc. Is there a market for these skills without a license. And what kind of pay could he realistically expect with these skills and years of experience?
Are there plenty of good paying jobs around? Or is the money mostly in being a licensed person in this trade. Right now he is earning only around $29K - $35K. He wants to make more money without the hassles of licensing. Is this possible?
