That's not a link for plugs lol By the way, how do u establish what your drilling in to?

Got the link? The guy there can't find it

What I mean is, the lady looks difficult and she said she didn't want me to ruin her newly wallpapered walls. So worry when I put up shelves that I won't get a good fixing. Probably will be fine but you never know what you're drilling into. Shall I just drill in with brown plugs and if it's...

The undercoat the lady gave me is from b and q but the spray paint is for cars. Is this a good idea? That's what the lady gave me which someone else used.

Got to put a shelf above this radiator. How u get a good fixing if walls all crumbly? I was just going to drill in 7mm a bit longer than plug and push in brown plug. What if it doesn't stick or go in? The brackets I have 2 holes at top of shelf bracket and 1 at bottom. If I don't screw...

Cover gardening (maintenance, window cleaning, painting and handyman work- general carpentry?

Fair point- it's always a tricky one- knowing what to charge and I guess it depends on the job you're doing. What's a good way to find out what other people are earning? I know for a reasonable maintenance gardener supplying his own tools and taking the stuff away if required - £15/hr is...

Any recommendations for a good selection of jigsaw blades?

Well great because using your own name means there would be no chance of anyone suing you for copying their name for example if you used South Coast Handyman; but, I thought a name like that looked more professional on a website or flyer. Costs aren't massive, but have to cover cost of petrol...

I would guess most handymen have some sort of minimum call out fee. What's a reasonable amount and then would £15 for each extra hour be a good price? Regarding names, would the South Coast Handyman be better than Paul the Handyman? sound more professional? Is it an issue to have the same...

If you're a window cleaner, carpenter, gardener and decorator handyman. Which company do you use for your public liability? And how useful do you think public liability insurance is? I am trying to think how it would be used? Tripping up a hose pipe I suppose if you're a window cleaner...
