Thanks for the detailed reply, the depth of my "flue"is 280mm and precast, the fire I was considering says suitable for class1 & class 2 prefabricated, but the "qualified"corgi" fitters told me my flue would be OK for my choice of fire, this is what has confused me.

Any specialist gas fire fitters advice please, I am looking to purchase a fire for a new build, last week I was in a retail shop who have their own fitters, [quite a large setup] and in response to a question I asked, they said that they were able to fit fires to class 2 precast flues that I...

Hope this is the correct section, I am preparing to electrify my gate operation, I have taken armoured cable to both gates [in ducting] but need to know what other cables I need to pull through, is 6 core telephone cable suitable for a video entry set up? cable length is 15m, any advice...

New property I wanted to add an extra phone socket, I asked the electrician to do this at a late stage, he let in the backbox put on and wired a phone socket connection plate, only problem is I find he has only run the cable into the roof space. The other sockets appear to be daisy chained...

Lights are operated by pullswitch, but thanks for the suggestion. Would like to avoid all the bright lights, wakes me up, hence the idea of just one small one.

Just moved into new property, bathroom has downlighters and time delay ex fan, it is pitch black during the night, and when I need to visit in the dark, I would like to avoid activating the fan for obvious reasons, Is there anyway I can easily and legally install a small permanent light...

Anyone know if you need a licence to drive a forklift on a building site.

I have just bought some engineered oak flooring 189mm x 22mm prefinished, the sample I got looked fine, when I collected the order it was all shrink wrapped and no finished surface was visible. When I unwrapped it I was dismayed to say the least, now I used to work with oak many years ago and...

Thanks for your comments, even though I do not agree with them all, they are rational and constructive, unlike some others. I think I will just retire gracefully, rather than become involved in an uninvited slanging match

I am sorry that you feel that I am been arrogant, but this reply from you is not in the least helpfull, maybe I am at fault for not getting my point over very well. To simplify it for "some" simple people, is it your normal practice to quote a price per hour, then without warning add 20%? if...

I am sorry but once again I will state, please read the original post, The only quote or statement made was the hourly rate that he stated he would charge me, this is the only real query

I am sorry but you too have not read my post properly, the fact that cable prices have gone up 40% is not relevant. I am not contesting materiel charges, or time spent on the job, just the 20% extra hourly rate over what he quoted me, and please remember that the 1st fix was done only weeks...
