    hand tools when your old and falling apart

    In my view, I think you need a new doctor. You need to address the health issues you have. Clearly that is not happening with your current health care regime. Bottom line, improve your health, not your screwdriver.

    Can plastic trunking be used in a commercial kitchen

    Not so much making a point as a question as to what would you do really. I don't normally encounter 225 sq m. kitchens. Usually more like 5m x 4m. No I am not going to run x amount of cables in separate conduit in your scenario. But then as I say I don't often encounter that size of kitchen. As...

    Can plastic trunking be used in a commercial kitchen

    As a matter of interest/curiosity can you expand on that a bit? i.e. why etc. I think tables for trunking/conduit capacity would rule out putting two or more 3ph items and other sockets in the same conduit. I would consider separate circuits for individual 3ph appliances. Of course you could use...

    Can plastic trunking be used in a commercial kitchen

    Unless, maybe dado trunking in some circs. Like customer sockets and ethernet etc

    Can plastic trunking be used in a commercial kitchen

    Conduit all the way for me. Can't quite see why you would resort to trunking? Maybe marshalling cables at supply etc. but apart from that, no not at all if I could help it.

    Can plastic trunking be used in a commercial kitchen

    Personally I have always used 25mm white conduit for all such installations. Trunking is just not greaseproof.

    Napit.. Do you still choose the job, or do they?

    Last year I had to show three jobs and they choose which job. However I offered two jobs an hour away from base and one job just down the road on the corner. Guess which they chose.....

    Can you ‘N/A’ most of a Minor Works for a like for like replacement?

    Maybe you could ask them for existing records that are up to date for each of the properties as being also a requirement for regulation compliance. Perhaps where they do not have them up to date you might offer EICR for those properties and get a scoop? Really speaking they are quite right to...

    Helping new to the trade identify a decent/cheap tester for gaining familiarity/testing experience idea

    Just thinking about selling MFT's and single test equipment. The idea being I buy stuff from Ebay and sell it on ebay, which I am doing at the moment. It is working quite well. I think this is because I know my way around testers and know what I am buying and have a reasonable sense of...

    Do you need to sit 2391-52 if you have sat your ACA and are now an approved electrician

    I suppose that means that you would only need to do the 2391-1 then

    NVQ help

    Sounds like you are talking about a portfolio, evidence of modules completed. Both C&G/EAL have a list of modules and the details of each module you need to complete for a portfolio. I often see that education providers in this area are pants at providing support for the development of the...

    Do you need to sit 2391-52 if you have sat your ACA and are now an approved electrician

    Not too sure what an ACA is. When you say approved Electrician, approved by who or what? In any event, normally level 3 installation I&T is the start point. To do EICR's a 2391/2 is useful if seeking employment of registration with a scheme. Though strictyl speaking not necessary legally or regs...

    UK What would you do?

    Most manufacturers recommend them to be fitted. We are required to take that into account. If they had been fitted clearly it would have been safer with the blanks missing. Personally on a job like that I would be loathe to involve myself. First you are liable for the installation if you work on...
