2 websites - shared space problem

hi - wondering if anyone can help

have 2 websites on shared webspace with ISP.

1) The first www.batchelor-electrical.co.uk works fine but however index.html does not redirect to main address despite adding 301 redirect in ht access file. Both are listed in SERPs with Yahoo so would like to redirect.

2) Second issue is with second site as a subfolder on wwwrootwww.besocceruk.com which reroutes to sub-directory of first website www.batchelor-electrical.co.uk/besoc.

If I remove htaccess file on root level it all works fine so must be something wrong here but beyond me. I need each site to be independent of each other.

here is current htaccess file..
