Great start for me aswell ! Monday morning, there I was nearly finished a house (an under priced one may I add) I got the last window done so as I turn round to do the front door SMASH!! I whacked the security light and smashed it 😱 . He said it's ok but I felt terrible and told him to keep his £5 this time

You'd better clear a bedroom to get the office staff in.  ;D

With such a precise number I've made a call and know where they are, I'm quoting them now too.





Gone quiet now eh?

2 good days in.hardly any rain and 2 new enquires to follow up.

take the rough with the smooth! :)

to the OP I dont know why people bother with split charge relays.it takes 2 mins every night to put my battery on charge overnight.(i run an extension cable through my letterbox to my pumpbox)
price higher/work harder!

So you don't have to run the cable 200 yards to the next street then?  Nor remove the battery and take it up 4 flights of steps? :)  That why people use relays.  Actually, I only live one floor above ground, but the parking bit is often true.

thats one situation where i would probably use a split charge relay paul. ;D

my van is about 6ft from my front door so extension cable is fine.

:)  I knew you'd see it my way.  If I lived in a house with driveway, I could save myself a bit on running costs - like  needing to rent a lock-up.  I suppose I could view it the other way though and say that if I had a house with driveway, it would cost me more to live in.  So I pay a higher mortgage or have more business costs.  I would rather have the higher mortgage and less business costs, but my hands are tied.

got the relay sorted now happy days .its a durite  split charger this time. easy fit just 3 wires and a you have a youtube vid for any numptys ;D  only 35 quid or if you want a kit with wires and other bits and bobs its more well worth it so you don't have to charge up every night
