As a result of the excellent thread by John Wilks about members offering their services and the uptake on this i thought that it would be a good idea to create a sticky where all members wishing to offer their services can post their relevant details, this is not just restricted to DIY activities.

If you wish to offer your services to fellow members and enthusiasts could you please post your details in this thread, the details required are;

Your Location
Your skill type or service that you are offering
Your level of competence
Links to work you have completed etc, where possible

If any other members are wanting to call upon these services please PM the relevant person as opposed to posting in this thread.

Also please be aware that that this is like inviting a friend round to help you out, i.e as this is work being done FOC and as a very friendly gesture then there can be no come back on the person offering their services if it all goes wrong.

With regards to any electrical work please see these links on the current legislation http://www.odpm.gov.uk/pub/910/Appro..._id1130910.pdf and
http://www.niceic.org.uk/partp/does_partp_apply.html

As a final note please understand that the persons offering their services are doing so out of their genuine kindness, so please if asking for assistance from them keep this in mind as you may have to work around their other commitments; you can not expect them to work around your commitments.
