Default ground anchor installation

Does anyone know who to call for a ground anchor to be fitted professionally in the manchester area ....

Any old builder should be able to do it. What type is it and how does it fix down?

Local handman no? Just look on something like Gumtree. It should could with instuctions on how to fit it.

However why not just fit it yourself and tell him u got someone in? Long as its not a bodge job what would he know?

Peak Motorcycle Security (http://www.bikesecure.co.uk) might do it. They're based in Leicester but travelled down to London to fit my ground anchor, which needed to be sunk into concrete.

Looks like a good anchor. Don't forget it's only as good as the chain you use with it.

It'll need more than a handyman Bluethunder, unless he has a kango that is! The hole that it needs should be the shape of a traffic cone so the whole lot can't be pulled up and out.

Yes true dude the size of that thing, mine isn't that big but its very solid. I have a sold secure chain, which is very good. Is it still rough around that area?
