New handymen, breakfast meetings and concealing cables in walls.

Silver Saints is growing. Today was the first day of our newest recruit, Roger. Although this is his first day as one of Silver Saints' London Handymen he has been in the handyman industry for sometime and we have come to know him and his fantastic quality of work quite well over the last year or so.

Roger will be covering mostly the South East, East and central parts of London so if you are lucky enough to live in one of these areas and book in one of our handymen it may well be Roger that turns up at your door.

Rogers' first day coincided with our monthly breakfast meeting providing a good opportunity for him to meet and sit down with all of our other handymen for a chat. This mornings breakfast meeting was a particularly good one as Silver Saints MD Seamus had planned a demonstration on concealing cables in walls. This has become quite a common request from our customers particularly when it comes to plasma and LCD installations as it is usually unsightly to simply have the cables hanging out of the bottom of the TV. We offer a range of different cable tidy solutions, the most cost effective and common of which is a surface mounted strip of conduit which comes in a variety of colors to match your wall and is relatively inexpensive but there are a lot of people who would prefer to have the cables buried in the wall which can be more time consuming and messy than people think.

Seamus has been putting a bit of thought into chasing cables into walls and decided we would experiment with a few tools that come available to make chasing cables into the wall a simpler and tidier job, at the expense of a wall (In need of repair already) at the office. In the end the demonstration went well and it gave all of the saints a pretty good idea of what is possible when it comes to hiding cables in walls and, hopefully, by the end of this week we should an addition to the services we offer fixed prices for on our Silver Saints - London Handyman website.
