Does anyone use any sites like mybuilder, check a trade, rated people etc. Are they worth it? Knew someone a while back who was on check a trade said he never got his money worth from it. I am interested in signing up to the right one but not interested in paying for expensive leads for timewasters.
Ive got a customer asking me about an LED strip around the perimeter of a bedroom. There is an existing coving which will be removed, and a new one fitted a little lower, with the LED tape hidden above the coving.
She has mentioned that there is going to be a mural painted onto the ceiling and...
Hi Chaps,
Need a new bag/case for testing equipment, this would include multifunction, volt tester and proving unit, labels, leads, socket testers, label printer etc etc. Looking for something padded but robust enough to be thrown around the van. Had a look at options but wanted to know what...

I'm looking at buying something for measuring leakage current - The Megger DCM305e (I think). Not specifically for nuisance tripping but more for DC leakage current - type A vs AC RCD (type AC flooding with DC and not tripping). Not a lot of info on the DC side - except DC units for PV, I...

I'm doing my garden in me new build; well I'm paying someone to do the hard it 'landscaping' (it ain't that big).
Obviously I'm gonna do my little bit and add some lighting. When someone else has asked for lighting products, I've always said try Collingwood Lighting.
Now I always knew they...
The time has come for my company to start using a dedicated earth electrode tester as we have some sites coming up that have no supply installed and we need to install electrodes before they can be connected and powered up.
We have a large range of MFTs and I can't justify the expense of...
Hi,
A customer is looking for a traditional CCTV system with a purchase price between £100-200. Ideally 1/2 cameras (720/1080) with associated PVR.
It's a total minefield at this price point...
Any thoughts?
After a recommendation for decent cuttable LED tape, have been using enlite weatherproof (Can't remember where I bought my last reel?) but it has been a pain to join, looking for a tape and supplier, prefer 12v.
So I have been looking through a list that was posted on here and registering my CV with them. I have seen some of the reviews on Google and some are really awful.
There is also a lot of mention about Ltd Companies and Umbrella Companies which I am not too familiar with. So any information on...
Not something I really need so don't want to spend a lot, but toying with the idea of getting a cheap one to see if it comes in useful, say locating underfloor heating elements or bad connections, and perhaps a look at the house from outside see where the insulation may be lacking (have my...
Hi guys, after some recommendations re a decent wireless alarm system.
It's a new build house all completed. I'm a retired electrician with very little experience with hard wired alarm systems and none whatsoever with wireless. I'm thinking if possible, 2 x door contacts, (1 x E/E) 2 x PIR's...
Good Evening.
I have a couple of jobs which I am currently quoting for that require panel heaters, one being a garage conversion and the other a log cabin. I just wondered if anybody had any good recommendations for 2/3kw panel heaters with built in thermostats? One customer did also mention a...
