I recently did a c&g pv course and have the chance to do a couple of installations. Can anyone advise on what gaining mcs accreditation involves and who is it best to go with?

Hi all,Been asked by a local builder, if I can do PIR's for him, for the local social housing company, he told me the guy he is using at the moment is doing them for £50 per house, is it just me or is that really cheap, I can't see how he is making anything on them.

Hi all,
Has anyone had any van signwriting done lately? I have just aquired a transit and was wondering what to expect to pay for the back and sides to be decked out with my logo etc. Obviously prices will differ but a ballpark figure will help. Cheers.
