Good luck!


It would help if you say what area your house is in -- ideally put it in the title so people in your area will be more likely to see it.

Are you prepared to pay the going rates for the skilled and reputable tradesmen that you're looking for? Finding sparkies with real paper qualifications here in BG is next to impossible, but if your house catches fire due to an electrical fault that will be the first Get Out Of Jail Free card the insurance company will play..


Most of the real pros here are no longer here - they can get much better pay elsewhere. By and large, the best you can hope for is to find someone who isn't a totally cloeless bodger, and even then it pays to be on-site all the time keeping an eye on him.


Good luck in your search - and, as Jane says, do specify the area you're looking to get the work done in. Do also be aware that recommendations of tradesmen are only as good as the perceptions of the person doing the recommendation: some people have low standards/don't know what a good job looks like/have given up expecting "miracles" etc. And never forget that there's basically NO come-back if you're ripped off by some cowboy..
