Not a problem.  Good luck. 

I've retired now - but my work was mainly domestic. I struggled to start with (tried Trusted Trader - what a crock of s*** that is!) but it took off when I changed my style of advertising. Initially my advert was all about the brand - professionally produced, artistic and as good as any up...

Exactly what I thought! Absolute rip off merchant. Reminds me of some of the preferred electricians for letting agencies round here!

What a brilliant forum - nice to be welcomed back. I'm doing a lot of community minibus driving and still doing the music with a Neil Young Tribute band This is what we sound like! . Will grow up one day! 

First post for a long time as I've retired! Thoroughly recommend it! My Son - who lives in Coventry has had a report done on a charity building. In fairness the  report is very good - but the cost for remedials is just plain offensive. Quoted to fix everything - no differentiation between class...

Sds and multisaw are brilliant - bread and butter tools - regularly used and abused! Just got a 4.5 inch Worx saw with laser guide and it is awesome! Compact, plunge cut, set depth - enter smug mode whenever I use it! Good luck Miss S!

Recently had a job where some upstairs downright weren't working and the customer was complaining of a burning smell. These were open halogen MR16s in an upstairs loft room. On investigation all lamps and transformers were covered in pigeon sh1t and there was even a nest directly above one of...

Byron also known as home-easy. Can get wireless switches and wireless receivers or pendants. Plenty on eBay and cheap. A really good get out of jail free card. Watch out for steels which can upset the signal.

Great for fire prevention!

Pretty much what I thought! Metal on TT is a backward step whichever way you look at it. Tempted to fit plastic in future and note as a non compliance - B and Q still selling them!

Advice from my NAPIT assessor today:- Tails need to be clamped above the main switch terminals. Hager do a clamping kit apparently. Clamping below the board on rear entry is not deemed good enough - even with 25mm tails. Surprised as I couldn't see a 25mm tail moving in a hurry. Cable entry...

Out of curiosity is there any switch start fluorescents on the same circuit? My daughter had a number go down and found it was when the garage fluorescent was used. After replacing with an LED tube there was no problem. Voltage spike via the ballast?

Sorry, I was particularly in wind up mode here! I was putting an alternative view point here which customers in poor areas might make a call on. When I said pristine I meant new! The point is that overheads have to be paid for - so the nice van and wonderful sign writing may make you look...

I have found that my domestic customers are more concerned with the service they get and the price. As I've said I can carry all I need in an MPV with easy access and have the benefit of not being discriminated against when going to the local tip!For predjudice on the other side - if I see a...

I have moved away from vans - generally overpriced and possibly abused. An MPV or estate gives a lot more options and with 5 door access I reckon you can get far more in them if you rack it out nicely. A good trustworthy independent local garage is a good start point. I had a brilliant VW Polo...

We all have different methods to get where we want (all jobs by recommend) - what's worked for me is local advertising (remember you're advertising as an Electrician - not who you are), looking after little old ladies (LOL jobs as I call them - biggest gossips ever so don't upset them!), leaflet...

Did a job there once - very prescriptive job description - must have taken longer to do that than do the job! Had to 'borrow' traffic cones to make the area safe!

Have a look on the TLC website technical section volt drop calculator. Should give you what you want...

As far as I'm concerned the jury is out on Hamilton as well - come across a number of failures in the past.
