    A complete house rewire where to start????

    With respect if you have to ask you a`int going to be ready to do be let loose on someone else`s house for some time. Part P registered or not. Ask yourself one question. Would you pay an electrician who arrived and told you they had done one complete house? I certainly wouldn`t. Experience is...

    Caddy Maxi v Transit Connect L2

    Thanks for your replies. Firstly residual values are not a big deal for me as I keep my vans for 5 years anyway. As far as Citroen/Peugeot and all their offspring I`m afraid I`ve had nothing but trouble from them when I`ve owned them in the past. I wont buy any French van. My last French...

    Yes. I always buy vans a couple of years old outright. I hate having to pay out every month. My accountant hates it though.

    Caddy Maxi v Transit Connect L2

    Hi guys. Its been a while since I posted. I`m in the market for a new van and would welcome your thoughts. I work in an area with lots of narrow alleys and archways to drive through so a small van ( with well thought out racking) is needed. I gave up on Vivaro sized vans when I found myself...

    Amendment 3 Came In Since My Last Time On The Tools

    Hi Guys It has been a year and a half or so since I last came on here or worked due to a nasty little run in with cancer and the treatment that followed. Check the family jewels lads, I did and it saved my life! Anyway, if someone could help me with some questions before I get back to work...

    Double fronted Steps

    Hi all My fantastic old set of CupRum Pro double fronted stepladders were nicked off my van the other night. All my kit went sadly but at least it was all insured. All my tools are easy enough to replace but I`m struggling to find some fibreglass step ladders with treads on both sides...

    Milwaukee Hole Hawg

    I`ve tried. Sadly no reply in 3 days. Powerstation where I usually get my tools are expecting them in "sometime". It`s beyond me why I can get them from the USA or Australia but can`t seem to find any in the UK. Interestingly they are half the price in OZ to here but import charges and warranty...

    Milwaukee Hole Hawg

    Hi Guys I use almost exclusively Milwaukee 18V kit and I cant fault it. I`m now looking to change my old Makita 240v angle drill and the obvious choice is the Milwaukee 18V Fuel Hole Hawg. Trouble is I cant find any in the UK. I don`t really want to import through ebay from the states as this...

    Van recommendations

    I`ve been running my business for close on 2 decades now and one thing I learned is that "bang for buck" is usually associated with cheap tools that fall apart sooner rather than later. We use Milwaukee and Hilti tools for a reason. Down time costs money and with quality kit down time is kept...

    Van recommendations

    VW every time. The rest are crap imitations of a VW. Nobody I know who has ever bought a VW would change back to a Vivaro/ Traffic or transit type thingy. VW are in a different league

    Competent person and EICR

    Maybe you`re right. Who knows. My PI insurance that I have for Inspection and Testing and offers cover for £10m costs about £200 a year with Groupon

    Competent person and EICR

    ***Update*** Just talked to the tech helpdesk and the IET. This is happening towards the end of this year, possibly early next year. It is being driven by IET and insurance companies. This is due apparently to the falling standards of EICRs that insurance companies are being sent. No...

    Competent person and EICR

    Well according to him the schemes wont be running it and no other assessment will be needed. Just concrete proof that you`re competent to complete the EICR. It just seemed odd that an assessor, and a very knowlegeable one at that, who I`ve known for 5 or 6 years now would just make it up. It...
