Hi there, I wonder if anyone could help. I have just replaced an outdoor light with an Up & Down Light, on the right hand side of the front door. Now the missis has said another light the other side of the front door would look good (she's always right). Now the light switch is right behind...

Thank you so much for all the responses. As it’s a new build its with the heating engineers. They are still yet to resolve the problem. But haven’t had heating in since, they should be around in the next few weeks.

Hi guys me again, I had Ideal out to check over the boiler today. He said everything to do with the boiler was working fine. And said what you guys said was a circulation problem. Pump is fine aswell. But he did point out because I have 2 thermostats in the house (1 controls the house which has...

Yea the company is Option Skills. They offer the 100 day portfolio with a registered Gas Safe Engineer at a cost of £500 for the term. But like you guys say why would they do this to train a competitor :/.

Apparantley the course offers the experience for the portfolio. 100 days of work needs to be completed with an experienced gas safe engineer before you can become qualified.

Thanks guys you have been really helpful. Seems a few of you know of people who done this which has put my mind at rest.

Thanks for the reply. He has no experience at all. He was going to do the course. Work for someone for a year or so and start up on his own maybe? Just looking at options for him at the moment. I believe there is high demand for gas safe engineers?

Also, if i'm using sleepers to raise the garden at the front. The soil i put in to create the raised bed around the border will be up against the fence. Would I need a secondary sleeper to stop the soil touching the fence? Damn adding this up it could be quite an expensive project :/

Ah thanks for your advice. Did you use a turf cutter to remove the lawn? Just wondering how good these things actually are?

Hi guys, I wonder if any of you clever people could help. I have recently moved into a newbuild. Lawn is surprisingly good but on a sloped garden. I'm basically wanting to level it all out, but I have a few questions: 1. Would I be able to use a turf cutter to get up existing lawn, and after...

Thank you so much. I wanted slabs where the lawn is :). Much appreciated.
