Just paid £400 inc vat ; -)

Looking for subcontractors to help our expanding company. Work is a mix of private residential (no contract work), Light industrial and commercial. Candidates must be 17th edition qualified, preferably with a test & inspection qualification although not essential. We are a CIS registered...

Yeah the new legislation is a 12 month period. Been advised to include on the T&C's text that says 'by agreeing and accepting these T&C's you waive your right to the 14 day cancellation period'. Apparently that stops any legal recourse.

Just been advised that as of 13/06/2013 new legislation comes into play which affects (along with lots of other businesses) anyone selling services. Now, we don't use contracts, always having done things the 'old fashioned' way - a verbal agreement and handshake and to this day, after 7 years...

TT systems account for circa 99% of my domestic work and as a standard fit we use 30mA dual RCD C/U's, 10mm earth and 4' earth rods and regularly see Ra readings of 20 ohms - 190 ohms. Only once have I had to install multiple spikes (4 to be exact) due to unknown subtrate giving higher than...

Hahaha I would say no chance of that. Googled them expecting some nasties but nothing. Surely they can's have mugged off companies all over the capital without anything appearing on the net?

That is my concern!

Had a call today from a chap asking if I would like to quote on some commercial work. Sends me the details and seems a bit odd as his co are London based, as is the job - but we are based in the South West! The company is GROSVENOR WORKSPACE SOLUTIONS LTD. I asked him how he got my details as...

Found one.

Does anyone have a template of a 'front' page PAT test cert I can use / modify? I have the inventory done, just need a nice front page cert to show company details, dates etc etc

A good accountant will give you the best advice. I pay the directors of the company a salary of £675 a month (tax free limit) and then the rest is dividends which are taxed at a rate as low as 10%. Last year we paid corporation tax (a tax on the company profits) but paid no personal tax. It is...
