Well been a while people have had to enjure me.
So what have I been upto started my own business couple week ago,
Need double glazing, conservatorie any building work give me a shout.
But my worse sin I bought a Saab 9-3 2-0 turbo drop top. I miss my bike
The 125 is lonely in the garage but few more jobs and I'm treatin myself

Yeah, don't forget to register your scheme with HMRC as well if you're using contractors.

Anyone can fit.
I did the same on a house i owned.
Got the council to inspect and certify.
The reason for fensa registration is for the exact same reason.
Cos anyone can fit.
The scheme was designed to try and weed out the cowboys.
Members need to offer guarantees etc (10 years when i was in that game).
All the bigger firms register as its a good selling point.

Smaller firms dont bother and get work with lower prices.

Ive seen both good and truly awful stuff from both when customers have needed a visit from the manufacturer.
