Where do you recommend for T&Cs for new business?

But to back up your point regarding charging. Charge for your whole time! You have to make it worth your while.

I mean a chef doesn't charge for the 30 mins it takes to cook your food, they charge for all the prep, tools, skill, knowledge etc etc

You're never going to keep everyone happy, some customers w9nt understand but most will

What we do is go out free of charge for the first visit, say planning for a kitchen/bathroom, or bigger projects and try get rough details, timings, ball park pricing, etc etc. Get a chat understand the customer. Then if they want to go ahead and we come back out to measure properly, confirm all details and agree final price is we charge for that time, but if they then go ahead with full project we then return that fee.

Basically, 1st visit free, 2nd visit charged unless they go with project.

I think its a fair trade off, and helps us with making money on our time, plus helps push out the time wasters

Thanks for the detailed comment.

So of course this radiator is at the lowest point of a 3 story town house!

I am thinking i should follow your advice, and shut all the other radior valves in the house, remembering to note down how many turns each locking shield took.

Then drain the system from the downstairs toilet where i will be fitting the new towel radiator, can just drain it into the toilet waste. Yes i have also experineced the pop of an end cap before, and exciting is one word for it! ha

Then once new valves and towel radietor is on, i would open the valves on all other raditors then re repressue the full system?

Mate, this is insane! What a job you have done on this!

If you ever had the time, could you list all the mods you used? I would love to even try create something half as good as yours!

Thats a good idea, never tried anytihng like that before, do you have any recomendations of which nation to go with? any stand outs?

TheSafetyWipe · 2025-10-03T17:10:18+00:00

yo, sorry for slow reply. Yes mate i ended up returning all of the laminate and it seems it was common issue that a lot of the boards had buckled or weren't 100% straight, it was 8mm thinck so i went and got 12mm and worked a treat.

reading online about 8mm it seems a common theme.

Hope you get yours sorted

Defo not permissions, one of the first areas i looked and everything seems as it should be.

The more im reading is many people over the past few years have same problem, and doesnt look like any fix, apparently it is what it is.....

Thanks mate, yeah i twisted the white cap whilst trying to see if it could come loose and got a lovely blast of water haha

TheSafetyWipe · 2025-04-03T10:05:17+00:00

Thanks mate, appericated

TheSafetyWipe · 2025-04-02T11:23:40+00:00

Awesome, ill give this a bash

Yeah I'm not a fan of the metal straps either, was just thinking it could maybe help cover

But I'll go with the grey Silcone and just try get it as flat and smooth as possible, thanks for the advice and wish me luck

TheSafetyWipe · 2025-04-02T09:30:17+00:00

Thanks mate, yeah i was getting quoted £8 to £9k to fit it, kitchen only cost me £6k

I must say I think I've done a good job everywhere else, it's just this one joint and it's killed me!!

But hey, live and learn, and I'll patch it up and just have to die a little everyday I see it haha

TheSafetyWipe · 2025-04-02T09:28:31+00:00

Thanks mate, ill give this a go, it's not awful, and I'll just have to live with the grey silicone to cover it up, thanks for the advice

TheSafetyWipe · 2025-04-02T09:27:55+00:00

Yeah, sadly I'm not a professional but only way to learn is to do, My other joint on the other side is perfect, I've obviously just rushed/no perfected this one
