feeling slightly horrified by some of the information and stories I've read regarding these guys, having had the "sales" meeting thought I would do some background checking to see if they are even slightly legit.

Hi Everyone

Hello Sparks
I feel a can of worms about to be opened.
I am in the lift trade.
Electricians are responsible up to the lift isolator and we are responsible for all electrical works on our side, which include shaft, motor room and car lighting and what we term small power (sockets in shaft...

I've passed my 2330 l2 but can't get into electrical work however many calls, emails, blah blah..... anyway i've been offered some tiling/ plumbing work renovating bathrooms, have any of you on here found employees or employers from other trades on site?
It's that time of year and I have to get my public liability insurance to satisfy the scheme.
I'm often offered work on the side as I'm a reasonably decent plasterer and plumber (sorry!), so thinking that I should probably get my insurance to cover my non-electrical work.
Not got any quotes...
