Hi there !
I'm looking for answers about the electrician industry in the UK in general for a service I'm developping.
That'd be really nice if you could answer honestly :

Hi everybody,
I've setup the new tilers directory and started to transfer old listings over to it. But it's doing my head in now. So I'll show you how to do it instead.
Do it in these stages and you should get traffic to your listing from the forum and whatnot. The listings I've done on...
An interesting report.
I'm in favour. My own opinion is that ten years between inspection and testing of domestic installations is too long, and that this period should be reduced to five years. I particularly like the proposal that an EICR be compulsory whenever there is a change of occupancy...

Hi all, I`ve been trading for the last 8 years, in the last 8ish months I`ve been getting calls from firms asking if I would be interested in selling my business. Also getting calls saying that they have clients that want to invest in the area and would I sell or when I say no they ask whether I...
I was wandering what people do when they're busy as hell and have phone call after phone call from potential customers.
Do you stop what your doing, answer every call possible and arrange visits for quotes until all your evenings are booked up for the next few weeks? not to mention all the time...
Thought we could do with a handy list of cold callers that's you've had recently, so others can avoid their sales calls.
Who was the last firm to cold call you related to your business?
(Not talking about PPI claims, we all know to ignore those lol)
How does Solar Planet get my details to ring me and offer to change my inverter over to Solaredge? I've had 2 calls from customers to say they've been offered it and now one tonight for my own system. They're buying in data from DLG and TDP Marketing but other than the MCS list no-one else...
I am doing the electrics for an extension, part of which is to add a wet underfloor heating system.
The current heating is s-plan, the boiler has a pump overrun.
The plumber has put in a 2port valve and pump which feeds one zone on the UFH with a remote programmable theromstat.

I thought I might have a look at this system a couple weeks ago to make the transition to the new DTI guide etc a bit easier. I've taken advice from the Sun Lounge - thanks everyone, but have since had a couple of calls from Easy MCS.
Basically they got me to try their online system for a week...
I wonder how many others are getting calls from an outfit in Manchester, that claims to be able to promote my webpage so it will come up at the top when someone searches for an electrician in my town? It almost sounds like Google themselves are calling (possibly that is the aim), but if you...
