House Clearance & Cleaning

What metrics and charts would provide provide meaningful data on house clearance and cleaning companies on their work?

Mechanics

What metrics and charts would provide provide meaningful data on the repairs and fix rate for mechanics?

Driveway Contractors

What data would determine the quality and longevity of an installed driveway, would the type of driveway impact the chart?

Health & Beauty

When charting the performance of health and beauty companies, how much do soft skills play in customer satisfaction metrics for services such as ear wax removal, skin clinics and health and wellbeing, including massage?

Landscaping Tasks

With so many different landscaping disciplines: fencing, decking, artificial grass, paving & patios should each be charted separately?

Manufacturing

From creating 3D prints to fabricating and installing bespoke gates and railings, the way to rate manufactured products will vary massively.

Home Improvements

From painting to flooring, plumbing to electrical features, the quality of home improvements varies so much that each will need several key metric plots to determine quality.

Property Investment

Rental yields, deposits, mortgage rates and capital growth all move at different speeds, so charting them side by side is the clearest way to compare one property investment with another.

Start-Up Businesses

For start-up businesses, a handful of simple charts covering costs, prices and the break-even point show whether the first year is heading in the right direction.

Blog Topic Requests....

What do customers and artificial grass installers think? We try to get the opinion of an artificial grass fitter who uses European fake grass.

With the higher cost of a resin driveway compared to a coloured tarmac driveway, is the choice simple based on aesthetics and budget, or are there other considerations?

We ask a builder what he thinks, as well as getting the opinion of surveyors and letting agents and find that there isn't a straightforward answer.

Location, size and the existing type of property can all play a part in the extra value loft conversions add to your home.

With many aesthetic procedures available, such as Botox and dermal fillers, is there enough evidence to support that long-term, these are harmless to your health and well-being?

We get the opinions of aesthetic clinics and doctors on the subject.

A patio can be built from the same materials as a driveway, such as block paving, resin, tarmac and imprinted concrete, but a wider range of paving stones can be used for a patio, since it does not have to carry the weight of a vehicle. What are the pros and cons of each for looks and long-term maintenance? We get the opinion of an experienced groundworker.

The primary choices are tiling, paint and shower panels. What we find in our discussions with bathroom fitters is that it doesn't have to be an either/or choice but can, in fact be all three!

We ask a landscaper who can install both to get his opinion. If money is no object for the installation, then one does have an advantage over the other, but that also depends on how much else you may want altered in your garden... This is very dependent on how flat your garden is, and if it isn't, which way it slopes.

A good composite decking installer can really create a feature entertaining area in a sloping garden

With composite fencing and gates being on the increase, is there really much difference between suppliers? We get the views of experienced fencing contractors and composite gate fabricators to highlight some key differences.

We get the views of floor fitters who are familiar with all the different types of floor materials to outline the differences, and once installed, what advantage each one may have over a real wooden or engineered wooden flooring.

We get the views of a masseur who also combines her training in nutrition to provide an overview of deep tissue massages, sports massage, indian head massages and aromatherapy massages and what benefits your mind and body could expect from each.

This will depend on how you do it and what paint you use. We get the opinion of how a professional spray painting kitchen cabinets can get a finish as good as new.

We get the views of professional decking installers and of a DIY enthusiast who has had a go at the whole processs. From starting the seach for composite decking Worksop to order the deck boards and fixtures through to fitting his own decking along with some balustrades too.

We will get the views of 2 different clinic who provide skin tag removal. One uses cryotherapy where the skin tag is frozen off using liquid nitrogen whilst the other uses a laser to remove the skin tag.

We ask the owner of Laser Hair Removal Coventry to explain how the use of a modern laser deals with hair folicles and how this impacts future regrowth of hairs
