You need to ask the plumer and electrician if they accept cards. I do love feathers.

If it's a big job see MSE's money transfer guide

great thank you i will give that a read... what i think i may end up doing is paying for all the things on credit card and paying for labour in cash...

Not all plumbers are plumers to be fair.

It might not help, but it's absolutely right.

It's up to your chosen tradesmen whether they accept cards or not. Many don't accept cards because it costs them too much. You have to ask the plumber.

Some will give you a discount for cash.

Of course it is helpful. We don't know who the plumber or electrician is, or whether they are sole traders or you are using a larger company. Many sole traders will not accept credit cards because of the hassle and charges - so you will have to ask them.

As for 0% - if they do accept cards then you need to get a card that is offering 0% on purchases. If they don't then you can still apply for a card that allows 0% transfers to current accounts ("super balance transfer"), transfer the money to your current account and then pay them by cheque, debit card or cash.

I expect a lot of them don't accept cards. I prefer to pay cash to tradesmen. You can often get a discount for doing so.
