Tradeswomen swamped as clients feel safer with them in the home
Tradeswomen have said they are 'inundated' with requests from customers who feel safer with women working in their home. Women in the construction, electrical and plumbing industries have said demand for their services often outstrips supply, as just 2 per cent of skilled trade workers in the UK are female. Several tradeswomen even reported scaling back their marketing as word-of-mouth recommendations travelled so quickly. Steph Leese, 49, who has been working as the Pink Plasterer in Merseyside for 16 years, said that apart from posting on social media, she had not advertised for years. Leese said she was fully booked until September but still received an average of 20 new inquiries a day. 'I think females want a choice of who they've got in their home,' she said. 'Just last week I was with a lady who said she felt propositioned by a man in a conversation regarding work. I hear this all the time.

Plumber's 'horrific' discovery prompts warning to Aussie residents
Plumber Michael Schulze is urging Aussies not to put up with mushrooms inside their home after visiting a property on Monday in Brunswick, Melbourne. This client has mushrooms growing out of their wall, and they don't know where they're coming from. This whole wall is absolutely saturated, as you can see. Which is also evident on our thermal imaging. They've got a shower on the other side of that wall here. A plumber has already been there trying to find what's causing those mushrooms to grow, and they don't know what it is. So we're gonna do an investigation, see where this leak is coming from. So we're gonna do an investigation, see where this leak is coming from. So we're just doing a pressure test of the pipework here with our gauge, and that's not dropping pressure, so there's no leaks on the pipes, it's gonna be coming from something else. Next, we thoroughly inspect the grouting and the ceiling inside the shower, which we found nothing. Let's dye test this bath. There might be a leak coming from the bath waste, so we're gonna test it and see if it's leaking. Again, as you can see, we've got about 50 degrees of hot water inside this bath with our tracing dye. This will test for any leaks. Now it's time to pull the plug and test the drain, let's see how it goes. Alright, after running the water through the bath waste there, it's leaking out onto the floor here. As you can see, there's all water pooling on the ground, so that means the bath waste is leaking underneath the tub. And they're gonna have to open a hole in the wall, fix that pipe, stop it from leaking, and start drying out all of the areas. So, job's all done and we're on to the next one, we've found the leak and this one was causing these mushrooms here. If you've got leaks, make sure you call us, we're the experts.

Free electrical and plumbing sessions for young people announced
A Pudsey-based vocational training provider is offering free hands-on electrical and plumbing sessions to young people. Building Futures Together (BFT) is running the programme this summer for 14 to 19-year-olds, with the aim of boosting the youngsters' employability and providing insight into a career in construction. John Thornton, managing director and co-founder at BFT, said: "Almost a million young people aged under 25 are categorised as NEETs, not in education, employment, or training, so it is more important than ever that we create pathways and provide opportunities to boost their employability. "The aim of our summer programme is to give students insight into a career in construction, unlock their potential through hands-on learning, and provide a productive way to spend their time during the holidays." Funded by Leeds City Council, the sessions will take place at BFT's training centre throughout July and August. Sessions will run on July 23, 25, 30, and 31, and August 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, and 28, from 10am to 2.30pm. Attendees can take part in one, two, or all 12 sessions. Each day is limited to 15 places. To register interest, contact John Thornton at More information about BFT is available at
