    Is it worth having a system that will ring you up?

    At my old job we used to have one that went off every time so much as a piece of paper floated to the floor, but then got broken into 3 times so was worth having one that sensitive. It called one of us and we did oncall style shifts with the phone. If you were oncall you basically agreed to be...

    Worth getting manned guarding/CCTV?

    Has anyone hired security guards for big (in actual sq ft not company) plumb warehouse space. got a new alarms system but the company who fitted it (local, seem decent enough) advised manned guarding or cctv in addition as apparently the area has had a bad bout of break ins. I know it's a rough...

    Competitors - what to do

    Hi all, Mainly joined a couple of forums as business hasn't been amazing past 6 months and a pal recommended having a look round to ask for some advice and stuff (is it okay to admit that?!). Also good to get a bit more in-depth info about the other trades that I don't work in - all good for...

    Damp problems

    Cheers for this Ken. Hadn't thought of the TOA being different for pieces of bathroom and 'bathroom' as package so image that could prove v helpful. According to him he advised ventilation but it was turned down as new tiling had been done first (all sounds a bit backwards to start with) and...

    Work Anxiety

    I'd say make an effort to network with other tradies as often people will enquire after plumber while getting plastering done etc. Having loads of plumber mates when you're a plumber might be good socially but not when it comes to work. I have a plumbers' merchant business and recommend a...

    Damp problems

    Cheers! I'd have thought he'd be best passing on info like this to clients, not offering (or being forced) to provide a physical solution himself if clients don't want a fan. Anyone know where he'd stand with this?

    Electrics blowing after having insulation done

    I called again and was told someone would be round the same day but had no joy. My wife wasn't best pleased with my plans to sort it myself so called in electrician. He said wobbly board had knocked a wire out and it was blowing when pressed down. All sorted out and am £30 worse off but at least...

    Electrics blowing after having insulation done

    MCB which is significantly less dangerous I'm told. So best bet to get them back to sort out connection or get spark in?

    Damp problems

    A client recently came into my shop asking about whether we sold damp solutions for fitting showers without extractor fans as he has had complaints about damp and mould. I wasn't aware this would be his problem if it's his client's choice to not have a fan. Any advice on what to suggest...

    Electrics blowing after having insulation done

    Hi, I run a small plumbers merchants business and a client told me to join here, so hello everyone! I just saw someone else posting about insulation so thought I'd say 'hello!' and ask a bit of advice if at the same time. Basically, British Gas fitted loft insulation a few weeks back. Since...
