According to consumer group “Which”, as many as 2.6 million people may have had a dispute with a decorator or a builder in the UK in the past 2 years. While clients who Find a Builder on Mr-Skill seldom have a similar problem,  we thought the salient features in the Consumer Group were still well worth repeating.
o The most common disputes reported include late starts, delays and sites left untidy after completion.
o Another common complaint received was builders still expecting full payment up-front, and many consumers not even being given written Builders Quotes.
o In extreme cases there was not even a written agreement regarding what the customer might expect.
o  As a consequence of these glaring oversights, two out of every five UK consumers felt bad done by, with a quarter of these feeling short-changed by at least £500. These statistics were as common among the customers of London Builders, and those working in the countryside.
Given that this is such a common problem it is hardly surprising that Mr-Skill has such a growing customer base. We believe that this is largely because we insist that our builders provide a written quotes and agree a formal contract. As a result of these and other rigid standards that we apply, it has been a while since we received complaints along the lines of those reported by consumer group “Which”.

Many gardeners prefer to leave pruning roses to the experts and Find a Gardener on Mr-Skill to do this for them instead. Others find this a relaxing hobby and prefer to do the pruning themselves. In that case they have no need to get Rose Pruning Expert Gardener Quotes.
 There are four objectives behind the custom of pruning English bush and standard roses. These are:
o Getting rid of dead wood, briars, and weak shoots
o Creating balanced shapes
o Stimulating new growth
o Obtaining the desired balance between quantity and quality of flowers
Throughout the flowering season bushes must be deheaded regularly. At the end of the burst of spring flowering some firm pruning is required to encourage continued flowering throughout the summer too –  this is of course at least as much an art as it is a science.
The principle is to cut back each previously flowering stem until one shoot pointing outwards remains, and an insurance one below it too. Leaving more than that could create top-heavy growth that could break off in the wind, spoiling the plant’s shape for some months to come.
In the case of climbing roses though the opposite applies. In fact some Gardeners in London and other Cities only prune to tidy up a straggling branch. There are no hard and fast rules here though – plants and gardeners both have souls, and together they can sense what is needed to be done. Do this, and they will reward you with yet another brilliant summer show.

Alabaster Lampshades are glorious because of wondrous diffused light that comes filtering through the  material. They are available in a number of kaleidoscopic colours making them a dream come true for a decorator-entertainer wanting to make a unique statement in their home.
The shades are also relatively inexpensive and readily interchangeable – would you believe this makes it possible to virtually replace a lamp without even needing to Find an Electrician either. For an even easier solution why not simply change the colour of a light bulb, wait until evening comes and give your family and friends a great surprise.
o Pendant Lamps hang down from ceilings and you could theoretically change them round your self. However if you are scared of ladders, have a stiff back or would like an electrical safety inspection done why not get a few Electrician Quotes from Mr-Skill.
 o Matching Wall Sconces or Wall Mounted Lights can perfectly complement a ceiling fitting or stand out on their own. When you add this extra tiny bit of inexpensive extravagance you transform your living room and patio into entertainer’s dreams.
o To complete that final touch of class why not add a table lamb or standard alabaster light. The capacity to move these portable fittings around enables you to transform your overall lighting effect almost every evening of the year.
An old friend of mine who used to work for Reliable Electricians London has a handy tip I thought I’d pass along. Because alabaster is translucent it shows off the dead moths trapped inside an open shade. His tip is to either use an enclosed fitting with a low energy bulb, or make sure the opening is at the bottom of the light.
