  • Should i pay before work is done?

    We've bought a house that needs lots of work. We're trying to do lots of ourselves, but there are things we'd like to get the experts in for. I know trades all have different terms, but what is standard? I'm just quite nervous about handing over lots of cash before anything is even done. What are the terms that people work on for larger projects like bathroom refurbs, garage conversions, and extensions? On top of that, is escrow something that is used for larger projects?

    2 SKY Q Main boxes on one network

    We have a big property with two homes where we wish to have two sky Q main boxes in each property. Sky have allowed us to have two separate accounts with two main boxes (by mistake I think) however we are struggling to get the Wi-Fi network and sky working properly. Across the two properties. We have been battling with this for about 2 years and had some network expert visit the property and quote us some £2k to sort it out. Any advice would be much appreciated , thanks
