Forgive my naivety, I've never had a credit card, still don't. Why the 2.5% charge?

'Mike the boiler' reckons that its a good idea to pay for a boiler system in part of full with a credit card. He says that doing this means two things. Firstly, the fact that the tradesperson takes credit cards shows that their bank considers the tradesperson to be a low risk, and...

Here's the photo of the roof, what do you reckon? Does it need replacing? I had a builder say to me today that moss on a felt roof is not necessarily a problem. He added that a fibre glass roof is more expensive and better than a felt roof, because its likely to last longer, but he said...
