    Self employed start up

    You don't have to hold any qualifications at all to be an electrician in Scotland. Up here, anyone can call themselves an electrician and trade as such, and there are plenty wetpants and kitchen fitters up here who do exactly that. Hopefully this farcical situation will be coming to and end in...

    CheckaTrade | MyBuilder | RatedPeople | TrustaTrader etc - Who's with what and why?

    I've used MyBuilder and Rated People in the past, but for a variety of reasons, I haven't used either website for quite a while and never will again. I have no need as I'm now in a position where I can pick and choose which jobs I take on, and am fully-booked until the end of March next year...

    CheckaTrade | MyBuilder | RatedPeople | TrustaTrader etc - Who's with what and why?

    The easiest way to beat MyBuilder at their own game is to have your own website and do whatever you need to do to get your website ranked above theirs in Google. It's not that difficult to achieve.

    Checkatrade, Mybuilder, Myhammer ratedpeople etc etc.. Your views?

    This used to happen to me quite often too when I used MyBuilder. In almost every instance, it was women who wasted my time and money. Nothing new there though lol. I haven't used MyBuilder in 10 months and have no intention of ever doing so again. Apart from the timewasters, the site is...

    Essential starter power tools?

    You really can't go wrong with Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee and Bosch power tools as they're all top quality products. I used Bosch and Milwaukee in the past before converting to the Makita LXT 18 volt range. I also own a DeWalt DCH323T2 54 volt cordless SDS+ which is the dog's dangly bits and is...

    UK Sign off

    Yes, you are. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Building Control will accept your certificate and sign-off on the building warrant. I'm assuming that you did actually apply for and obtain a warrant prior to the work on your attic conversion commencing. I'm also assuming that it is Building...

    Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

    Up to my neck working through the pile of quotations and certificates that have accumulated on my desk. Been at it since 10 am and still not finished. I hate paperwork.:(

    What next, dodgy customer....

    Faced with the same circumstances, I would issue a dangerous installation notice and be done. These people are evidently a pair of mean, tight-fisted opportunists. To hell with them. Who needs customers like this?

    EICR - Holding back test results?

    This is outrageous. It's sharp practices such as this that lower customers' faith in tradesmen and increase suspicion. The customer is being held to ransom. Unacceptable. In the same circumstances I would have given the customer a copy of the report along with a quotation for the remedial work...

    Don’t mess with him...

    Turning-up for work ----ed simply isn't acceptable, particularly when the person who is ----ed is operating a digger and therefore likely to be a danger to others. The employer did the right thing in telling the drunk employee to go home.

    Do you do jobs for cash, and then not declare it with the taxman? (voters in the poll are private!!!)

    If HMRC were serious about cracking down on the 'gig economy', then they ought to be taking a very close look at the likes of Rated People and MyBuilder where people who have day jobs are openly advertising their electrical services on weekends and weekdays after 4:30 pm. I'm sure there'll be...

    Do you do jobs for cash, and then not declare it with the taxman? (voters in the poll are private!!!)

    Is this what accountants refer to as liquid assets? :D Should this tax-evasion method ever be discovered by the Greek tax authorities, I'm sure they'll pool their resources, dive in to investigate, and surface with a watertight case. :D
