Timber floor installers will be pitting their skill and practical knowledge against other tradespeople in the first Interbuild Test The Trades competition at the NEC, Birmingham on April 23.

The contest, to be hosted by Craig Phillips, the original Channel 4 Big Brother winner and TV DIY expert, will involve a mix of practical time-clock team challenges and questions relating to six key trades.

The winning team will win a Mercedes VITO 109CDI compact van and the Interbuild title of Britain’s Most Professional Trade.
