🔧 From dark to light
These baroque style lamps arrived wired with speaker cable and switches that short circuited.
They’ve both had a complete rewire and refurbishment with new BC safety fittings, antique style cable, plugs and fittings. The main conduit was re threaded to metric and fitted with insulated inserts, and new bases made out of cork… and finally PAT tested. They’re now taking pride of place at home.
Every repair saves money and reduces waste.

⭐️the DAB radio journey ⭐️. 🔧 From silence to tunes

This DAB radio arrived with a faulty D.C.barrel socket where the power supply connects. The centre pin was making intermittent contact. The connection had become loose and now it’s as good as new.

⭐️⭐️the jeans journey⭐️🪡From a tear to a statement!
These jeans arrived with a tear in the crotch with a gaping hole 😢
After some visible mending (hooray a customer was happy for us to have a go at this technique 🙌) now they’re ready to strut their stuff.
