Ive noticed a couple of contract jobs on jobsites, 3 / 4 months work at £Xxx per day, so ideally finding a few of these every few months would be ideal.
Finding those isn't so hard. Winning them is especially if you don't yet have a reputation established. Along with all the recommendations that Gail has provided, my additional recommendation would be to try to take a couple of small jobs (serially, not in parallel) that you can do after your normal job to test the waters and to build a reputation/brand before you go headlong into consulting.
