Thanks for the suggestions so far. Apparently my nearest train station goes straight into Gatwick and everyone around here does that. Definitely just Europe and there's a chance it might be just me and the little boy. A swimming pool he can go in everyday is the main thing but things to do near...

It's a very long time since I went abroad but as my 9 year old has just learnt to swim going somewhere with a pool seems the thing to do. So any tips on... Websites/companies? Where to go, and what to do there? Anything else a novice needs to know?

Ok ta. I've seen one of two chops videos. I used to watch Calvin's car diary, UK salvage rebuild and that Matt Armstrong who repairs super cars. In case you haven't seen any of them.

Just wondered if this is a bad idea. I see them for sale on eBay with the breaker claiming the wheel runs True and plenty of tread on the tyre but are there potential problems?

Ok thanks, I take it the customer pays a deposit first. Is that refundable if the mechanic finds problems?

Hello, I might have to buy a car from a fair distance away so it seems like a good idea to use a firm to have a look for me first to save wasting time. Just wondered if anyone has done this?

Sounds like for hiring someone I'd be better off paying a day rate?

Hello, having not been in the business for many years I'm at a bit of a loss on this. I need to price some work and also pay someone to work with me. So does anyone have a rough idea? I know location is a consideration but any clues would be good. The last time I did it prices were around £10 a...

Thanks people. Does anyone know if they are likely to do a site visit or just need an email showing the drawings?

Looking for any tips. We need some scaffold to work on 2 storeys. As roofers are hard to find in this area it seems the scaffold may be up a while. I'm sure that'll add to costs but will an extra month or two make a big difference? Any other advice would be handy. Like prices, what I should ask...

Yeah, I reckon it'll be a four figure price though, might as well replace what's there. I've found a few couplers that claim to connect to pitch fibre while watching YouTube. Flexseal dc115, mcalpine dc1 and floplast sp140. Might give that a try.

Where I used to live that sheet had to be 700mm wide. So maybe 1300mm should be 130mm but times 2 as there would be one at each side.

Keeps getting worse. Having done some research with everything saying either replace or shove a balloon up it I might have to replace one run of it about 8 metres long. But there's another 7-8 metres that I might be better trying a bodge and if it fails one day I'll tackle it then. So I've seen...

It doesn't seem to be staying there. I've tried a third time.

Hope this one works.

Haha. Thanks for the subtle hint. It's on the original post now.

Came across this and thought I'd ask in case it's something I shouldn't breath in? Before I smash more up. Cheers.

Ok. Thanks. Not sure what to do but thanks :)

Thought I'd do an update in case it helps anyone. I've started getting the blocks from Travis Perkins. First lot came today and all the ones I measured are bang on 215mm. The others were tarmac ones. About 8p difference in price but the accuracy of gauge and saving on the muck should be worth it.
