Do handymen quote for small jobs?
Is it usual for a handyman not to quote for small jobs? I've spoken to one who said it's not worth producing a quote and the cost won't change. Should I trust him?
Laws on tradespeople working inside a home
If a tradesperson comes to work in my home, does that mean that no one else from another household can be present in the home at the same time? So my daughter likes to invite a friend or two to the house on different days of the week. If someone comes to my home to work on anything (as there’s a few things that need fixing around the house), must her friends not visit during these hours? Or how does the law apply in these cases? Any help would be really appreciated as I’ve no idea how the law might apply in these sorts of scenarios. Thanks!

What do I need to think about for garden sign posts?

Tv mount on plasterboard
I have a 55inch TV that I want to mount on to the wall. The wall is plaster board and there’s one wooden beam going straight down the centre. We want to put it on this wall as the rooms an awkward shape and there’s not really any other options. Would this be okay? We have the wall plugs that the mounts come with and some reinforced ones we brought. Will the wall hold the Tv? Or will it cause damage to the wall and risk it coming down
Installing clothes rack from angled ceiling
I want to install a new clothing rack in a bedroom which will hang from the slanted roof side of the room. At the lowest point is about 1 metre from the floor and about 2 metres at the highest point, the angle is roughly 45 degrees too – so it seems an ideal size for a rack. I am planning on having joins that hold the rail every half metre or so, to distribute the weight - the length of the rail will be around 2 metres long. Are there any reinforcements for the weight or other adjustments I might need to install the clothing rail on my slanted roof?
Curtain Pole Hanging

Awning fabric replacement cost
The awning over our patio is about ten years old, frame's still solid but the fabric is faded and torn at one corner. Can you get just the fabric replaced rather than the whole thing? Prices I should expect?
Setting time on induction hob
My induction hob is set to several different time zones at once. I just want one time to appear and that being the local time. How can I achieve this? What do I need to do? Does it depend on the brand/product in question or is it more or less the same for each hob? Thanks!
