Have been playing around with the thought of getting a new vehicle for work, ready for when i start out again (my TT isn't gonna work lol, so needs to go...). Looked at a Ford Ranger yesterday and quite liked it but test drove the new Nissan Navara today as you can get a full spec Teckna in...
I have a website which isn't anything fancy but for a sole trader is hopefully fine. I know everyone wants to be at the top of the page on a google serach, but I am not even at the bottom!
I have a free yell.com listing, but even when I search for an electrician in my area via google and get...
Hi All, firstly to introduce myself I'm not an electrician but was hoping to get a bit of advice on an electrical issue I have. Basically we wanted to get a boiler service but the plumber would not touch the boiler as he said we have electrical volts running through the house (radiators, sink...
Good evening all,
Just joined the forums with the hope of receiving some advice as to how I should go about getting that first job.

As a matter of interest, I was mulling about a tool that could lift floorboards with no marks. I wonder if anyone on here has any method/tool to do so. Having lifted, no doubt, hundreds of floorboards over the years I can certainly get pretty well any board up without breakage. However I cannot...
Hi all,
I have a some larger jobs coming up where 2 or 3 pairs of hand would be useful. For those of you who take on large intermittent contracts, how do you go about the extra labour provision?
Local temp agencies have nothing on their books, and the national ones I have asked aren't cost...
Hello everyone,
I have just signed up to the forum so that I can get some advice off of someone.
I am due to leave the military in a couple of months and I have decided that I would like to get into a trade. I am stuck between two options and that is to become an electrician, or a plumber...

Currently taking the 17th edition C&G course, then looking at progressing onto "Fundamental Inspection & Testing, City & Guilds...
This is my nominee. Just can't fathom what a scantily clad lassie sitting on presents has got to do with electrics or telecommunications (I think that's what at&t is)

Hi all,
I've recently had a wood burner installed in my lounge. The stove flue goes up through a liner installed inside the original masonry chimney. I've noticed, if the stove is burnt for several hours, the chimney breast warms up a bit. In the bedroom above the lounge there is a double...
So thinking of getting the Sony VR kit for my PS4, from what I have heard it's a game changer for the way your feel immersed in your gaming to the extent its scares the hell out of you, so anyone else thinking of getting one or has and can give us some feedback?

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...
are any of you guys using an on the go software that does diary and invoicing I think after over 10 years I might give it a try, my theory is I am trying to stop doing very small jobs and attract more slightly larger works, so if I completely organise myself for the little jobs then I will have...
Hi,
First post, first time doing anything electrical.
Have bought a nice new IKEA Sinnerlig light for my nice new house I moved into last week. Have removed old ceiling light which was a cheap plastic one than screwed into a cheap plastic base plate that was screwed into the ceiling.

Hello everyone, just here for as much advice as I could possibly get on what to do next. I'm 25 years old and have many failed attempts at trying to land myself an apprenticeship and now I'm at the age where the funding stops for the employer I believe.
My goal is to obviously get an...
