So according to the Public Accounts Committee report, the Green Deal failed, there's a supprise
They also say that for every loan arranged, it cost the taxpayer (us) £17,000
Some one made money from it and I know it wasn't me or you
Who'd ave thunk it
 
Firm round by me made a mint from it , small firm then year later all driving round in fancy cars and flash houses.
 
Another committee probably also costing a fortune to come to the conclusion that most every day plumbers could of told them before the scheme even started. No doubt there'll be another committee to come up with the next stupid scheme that just lines the the pockets and balance sheets of the big boys.
 
Looked into it at the time and there were too many hoops to jump through for the average firm with 1 or 2 employees
It only encouraged the big firms to get bigger as far as I could tell, didn't help the majority at all
Would have been good to have had some sort of localised control of issuing work to the little people

Hi bit of a weird issue, I installed a grohe bathroom tap successfully 2 months ago bought from screwfix. Last week the right hand hot tap makes a squeak noise as I turn it on or off, left tap is 100% perfect and noiseless. This grohe tap is like one unit, so no screw notch or way I can remove...

Hello all, I'm would like to extend an existing outside tap to another point in the garden. I'm about to pour a concrete patio and was hoping to run the water line underneath. There are existing drain (and who knows what) pipes running along the same wall so I'm nervous about digging too far...
