    Sole Trader vs Ltd company

    I'm in the same boat, always been a sole trader but been advised to go ltd, for the above reasons. Plus points I see are, maybe a reduction in tax and if things happens to go pete tong, they cannot take your house. Downside seems to be difficult to get credit in your early days of trading...

    customer avoiding paying.

    I wouldn't get too upset as its only been a week. Most people are use to 30 day terms, especially when it's business to business. I had one the other day which took about 3 months, what's cocks

    Self employed and CIS

    I have no issue with personally being taxed at source. But the issue come for me when Iv got a few subbies. For example, If i get paid 200/per person. I would recieve £160 from a contractor, and £40 would go into my hmrc 'account'. Then if I pay them 200, I have to pay their cis of £40, and pay...

    Self employed and CIS

    Yes you need to be cis registered contractor unless you thinking annual payments will be under £1000, in which case you have to apply for an exception. I think it's utter crap, it's so inconvenient which shouldn't be the case with subbies, you may aswell employ them. Any other industry doesn't...

    So come on the pro and cons of intergas

    I don't like the jig, or the expansion vessel setup. Looks terrible and the controls are horrible. Not for me at the moment.

    greenstar 30si

    Iv done it without, the scars never quite healed. I think it's genuinely easier to have the hydroblock out.

    Central heating pump on the way out?

    Yes that would stop all the flow going to the cylinder

    Central heating pump on the way out?

    Could be the flow through the cylinder needing to be balanced down. But it's unusual for all radiators to completely stop working. Its possible you have a knackered pump or maybe debris if your system

    Grundfos heating pumps

    I recently removed a noisy wilo gold, which I fitted a few years ago would that have had 5 years. If so I'm going back to them

    6.6kw multi fuel stove with boiler

    So many wrongs here already. You obviously don't fully understand this type of system and I know many engineers who wouldn't touch this kind of system. Best getting a specialist engineer - it really will save you in the long run

    Gas meter removal??

    99/100 times I remove the meter as its so easy to do. If I'm feeling particularly rough I will do a quick soldered joint if I'm happy little air has entered the pipework. But officially not

    Grundfos heating pumps

    I have no idea but they are definitely a lot less reliable.

    vented woodburner system

    Return is good providing your feed and vent is on the gravity side. Sounds like your pump is goosed or you have a blockage. Or am I misunderstanding the post?

    Run gas combi in open vented system

    You will require some form of heat exchanger, or an intergas boiler. I can honestly never fathom why people get such a rock on over running back boiler stoves. Logs are expensive, (nat) gas is cheap. Installation is expensive and system control is minimal. I'm a firm believer of them being nice...

    Twin Pump Issues

    Or the surge of pressure coming back after tap being shut and activating the flow switch. Iv seen this before with combis. Like you say, the pump will pull air through the vent or any other open taps/ball valves with no dedicated feed. So many are installed wrong.
