We have a couple of threads running on the other forums. Trying to get people to give us a bit of an update weekly on how things are going for them in their trade. Thought I'd do the same for this forum too.
Let us know what's working right now for you, how you're getting business in. Let us...

How did your kids do in their exams? Have they got the grades they wanted?
Seems like it has been a bit of a shambles this year to be honest. I do feel sorry for the kids.
Hopefully now the government is letting the teachers give the grades it won't be as bad now.
I heard BTECs are still not...

Started a simple website and forum. No ads on it. Had to get approval from Nominet (the UK Governing Body for Domain Names) to even register the domain and launch the website. They don't want misinformation knocking around on their domain names.

Morning Everyone!
It is Easter this weekend and a lot of the kids are already off!
Have you got any plans for the long weekend?
Are you going away, if so where? Are you doing some DIY, if so what is your project?
We are not going anywhere but having a nice lunch on Sunday!
Happy Easter...

This is probably just to vent but I wonder if anyone else is experiencing customers accepting quotes, having the work done and then refusing to pay despite being satisfied with the work.
It‘s happened to us four times in as many weeks now and the “excuse” is they have costed the materials...
Hey guys, recently had a bit of a dispute over a quote asking me to break it down etc saying they can buy this from X for Y.. how much is labour/materials.. shockingly it was from friends so it's taken its toll on me mentally if I'm honest.. I'm don't think I'm outrageously pricey but I do a...

Hello Everyone. I'm back! It's been a year since my original post and I still haven't managed to resolve the mysterious water usage in my home. It's driving me nuts as I just can't figure out what's going on and Thames Water aren't interested. I've attached some screenshots from over the...
UPDATE: Plumbers apparently not meant to be going to customers homes unless emergency callout?!
This was after further questioning to the prime minister. I'm trying to find the actual video or article for you.
Once in a while stumble upon websites, magazines etc with images of "plumbers" posing with completely inaccurate tools / materials making the whole thing look ridicuous to anyone who has a clue. Just going to post a few recent ones..

Hi ladies and gents,
Just thought I'd give you a laugh.
As some of you are aware, I'm currently the owner of a newsagent's shop out in the sticks in Italy. Very long story, but I didn't want to close an 80-year old business if I didn't have to. It was never part of the plan and I intend to...
With my first grandchild due in October and a 2.5 hour journey each way to visit my son his partner and new granchild I need to upgrade my ageing Honda CRV I think it will be another one but maybe a automatic this time , what do you guys drive and use as a family car and recommend for long...
Guys , I hope you are all well and staying safe , I very rarely come on here these days , its hard work , the adverts and posts fly around all over the place , gaps appear , stuff then appears then disappears etc etc
It has taken away the enjoyment of giving time for free and being part of a...

Hi all,
Currently my business consists of one van which is the one I use on a day to day basis.
Im taking on an 18 year old plumber in the next few weeks, he's already completed his NVQ2 and as such will be going out doing some small minor repairs in his own van from time to time.
Before I...
We are in the process of having an extension built and our new combi boiler was installed about a month ago. The wall is now looking damp and going green, I’m worried it can only get worse, is this normal?
Thank you.

Hello there. I'm hoping somebody can provide me with some guidance on an issue that's been ongoing now for over 2 years! Thames Water moved my home onto a smart meter and ever since then, the daily water usage is showing that water is being used every night between midnight and 7am. On...
It is Halloweeen and I have not had chance to do a pumpkin - plus I hate the smell of them!!
Have you done any pumpkins this year? Post a photo below!
This is how our Builders’s plumber has installed the pipe work under our kitchen sink. It is at the front leaving little room for storage, the dishwasher is connected, it’s an old cabinet that has been moved forward into our new extension until we can afford new units. Is this how it should look...
Lost my rag with Doolittle the arse wipe. Apologies to mods for creating extra work but it was good to vent at the little shizer. I'd luv to shuv that Japanese box right up his box, see if it can modulate to heating his blood above 18 deg C. Clearly a loner, cos anybody who has lived with a...
