    Customer wiring own electrics

    How are the Napit/Stroma 3rd Party certifiers covered, if they’re only testing and notifying the work without seeing how it was installed? Do Napit/Stroma exempt their 3rd party notifier contractors from any prosecution etc?

    Ring finals and fused spurs

    For a 100sqm room you could be using any length of cable from 20m to over 100m in length, dependant on the route the cable takes etc.

    On small jobs charging for cable

    I had a similar job recently to replace 6 down lights and found some damaged/short cables, before I replaced it, I explained to the customer that this would come under a charge of 'sundries' on the final invoice. But I always state a price for sundries on my quotes, with a caveat of 'any...

    Run new 32 amp cable to kitchen.

    Your electrician will provide with all the viable options, which may include lifting floor boards or chasing the cable in to a wall, plastic conduit etc, it's then up to you which option you want to go for, then the electrician will quote/charge you accordingly

    Junction boxes, other than Wiska

    Sorry maybe I didn't word my question properly. the nearest suppliers to me (within 2 miles) are Screwfix & Toolstation and they don't stick Wiska, so just wanted to gain some knowledge of alternative junction boxes. ( nearest Wiska stockiest is a good drive away from me)

    Junction boxes, other than Wiska

    Hi guys As the title says, other than Wiska junction boxes, what are the alternative junction boxes you use that are of equal quality and price?

    Altered ring main, now a DIFFERENT circuit is not working?

    Dom, just take it easy and be methodical in your testing and write everything down. I’m the same as you, only been qualified for 14 months, so whenever I go to a job that sounds difficult, I write done everything I do as I go along, so if things go wrong like you’ve just found out, it’s easier...

    Cooker wiring 13a or dp/so switch?

    Andy, if your current oven & hob is wired via this junction box, then get an electrician in to sort it out. Shouldn’t take no more than hour plus parts to sort out, for your peace of mind, it’s a small price to pay.

    What code should this shower be?

    The shower we had in our old flat was lower than usual, as the manufacturers instructions said that both hot/cold feeds had to be lower than than our cold water tank in the airing cupboard for proper water flow and to comply with their guarantee.

    Certificate for additional certificate

    Before you install ANY circuit to an existing installation, you would check for bonding etc during your initial visit, before you quote for the job or if you quote without doing an initial verification (very unwise), you would check for bonding before you even think about installing the first...

    Question regarding signing off 32a ring circuit with broken CPC ring continuity

    What were you IR readings before and after Bob the builder fitted the kitchen? If you can trace where the cpc is broken, you may be able to prove without any doubt who damaged the cpc, then you can point this out to the home owner and say you can’t sign it off until it’s repaired.
