    Cooker repair certification

    but its not a thing that is required. HSE don't get involved in domestic properties...all "registration bodies" are private, for profit companies that have zero regulatory powers. BC is the closest you get but they don't care and anyway, after 12 months, all BC related issues disappear

    Nightmare customer won’t pay

    my point darling is that court action is the absolute last possible action, not the first. Make it the first and the judge could not only dismiss the case, he could even award costs against you. Protocol is everything in the world of protocol...

    Switch oil to gas with microbore piping?

    a sail ship still floats and is safe for passage. An aircraft is much quicker...they can both take you to a destination therefore sail ships are as good aircraft

    Boiler pressure creeping up

    only water will increase the pressure inside the closed system so if its going up then water is getting in. Pressure and flow are not the same so even a small amount of water can increase the pressure

    High grid voltage advice

    230v +10%/-6%. This is a DNO requirement. If running outside of these, it is their issue to resolve and nothing to do with the charging equipment. Over voltage is common and happens all the time. You have only noticed this from the warnings but its been happening forever. The DNO will attempt to...

    day rate and expectations of work volume per day

    his work is as how I would do things myself. Before doing the decorating for myself he had installed and tiled a bathroom for a neighbour which is how I discovered him. He charged her the same £100 per day but she said he kept finding serious faults from the previous bathroom install

    day rate and expectations of work volume per day

    He said he just works through the steps and never gives a time frame as he says he has no idea what he exposes along the way and says that you can stop him at any time and pay for what he's done. He never stops mind you, not even tea breaks

    day rate and expectations of work volume per day

    He did give me a contract, he insisted on it. The contract stated that I could terminate the service at any time and pay for the half day or full day he had spent. I think it was the progress on some days vs others. So for example, on a Saturday morning he wallpapered a wall and applied a second...

    Kitchen design

    they have a location in the London area now. I visited the showroom on 3 occasions for clarification and technical support and to look at ideas. It is the best showroom you will ever visit. What we ended up with was nothing like the design we had envisaged in both layout and colour. I figured...

    day rate and expectations of work volume per day

    Had an old guy in to decorate. He's retired and likes to keep busy. He was a professional engineer and has a wide range of skills and turns his hand to anything. A very knowledgable guy and is very diligent and precise. He charges £100 per day for an 8 hour day. I asked him to decorate 2...
