    I don't exist !

    No idea , they don't ask for it .    You can only respond to ticking boxes .   No its above ...before tax deductions  & wife's unused tax limit .  etc  I still have to submit a SA    or be fined  .        Like the old scam  ...CIS  scheme .......Jeeeez!  Don't ever employ anyone .

    I don't exist !

    Its not a mess  ,   I have no tax to pay .  I no longer pay NI .       But as I said  , turnover is not much but  I still have to submit a Self Assessment or be fined by HMRC  .   Looking at my figures I'd say  I won't be paying any tax .    The only mess is by HMRC  who carry full records of my...

    No idea  ....   I  see the  Stroma & the ELECSA  brand  disappearing TBH   ending with just two schemes  .   Is the gas just two  ?   Gas Safe & Corgi  ?

    According to their website  , Stroma  charge £240 + VAT      so   £288     just over half the cost of the others .

    I think he shuffled off this mortal coil  a few years ago TBH   I don't owe them anything Andy .    Otherwise , yes , I could drop that on them .

    I don't exist !

    Last month I mentioned problems trying to  Self Assess on line  with Gov.UK   . My accountant always did this  but with my reduced earnings these days  I 'm trying to avoid paying him  & submit it myself .   Just spent many fruitless  hours  trying to create a Personal Tax Account  because...

    Are  you sure  Binky ?   they used to be half the cost of the other scams  but I assumed their charges would have gone up when they joined NAPPITT  . Skinny , if Stroma are still half price , go with them .   All you need is a Competent Persons Scheme    ( CPS)    to enable you to sign off...

    Lights flickering

    I would suspect , as Sharpie says above,    your meter or your network cut-out  having a loose connection .     After that it would be a connection  outside  in the  street .   Is your cut-out hot by any chance , are there signs of black jointing compound  leaking from cut-out. ?   You...

    In my experience they know you have to start somewhere  ,  I doubt that will be a problem .      They're not going to turn you down so tell them  you will notify it when a member .  They need us more than we need them .

    If I were you  I'd do the rewire ...don't  notifying it  ...it will cost you virtually the enrollment fee  to have it certified by LBC  , who will send an NICEIC guy anyway.  If you intend doing all domestic  you may as well bite the bullet and register now .      Stroma used to be the cheapest...

    I deduce from the above that Sharpie may be a Red  Scouser .   Possibly.

    New style panel radiators ...ceramic..... any experience ?

    The ones I heard of are of German design  , I've forgotten the name ,  but I remember something about a new technology  ceramic  core , so I assume it stores heat  so it must be more efficient that a basic  wire element  panel  .    I presume the same applies to the oil filled radiators  , once...

    New style panel radiators ...ceramic..... any experience ?

    I keep seeing adverts for these energy saver  rads  .   I  guess they contain ceramic heat  retaining blocks of some description  so once powered up  they are emitting heat  with the power off  .  Connected to 24 hour supplies .   How efficient are they do you think ?   Have you fitted any ?

    Domestic Installer or Approved Contractor

    I'd second that  ,   the only criteria comes from a customer's insurance company  .   I did / do   industrial & commercial work as Evans Electric  for nearly 30 yrs  .  No one ever required  NICEIC  other than the insurers of a printer I still look after  who required them to have an  EICR...

    I know what you mean Kerch , hence the low key  report .     Its not the most important thing in the world  as some would have us believe  .        You still get blokes trying to put others down for supporting a club that has had less success than theirs ,  which is ridiculous .   For myself ...
