There's a big world out there apart from working around someones house and that where the JIB card plays its...

    Why so big a difference in price?

    As long as your happy with the cost and work and the electrician is happy then it does not matter what others think so a pointless thread really.

    Should I change from Domestic to Commercial

    Domestic is rubbish for people trying to complete an apprenticeship. Another lad I know rewired his dads garage in pvc conduit, singles etc to complete a unit, the nvq assessor's know people are struggling to complete units because the variety of work is hard to come by. Anyway, that lad...

    Should I change from Domestic to Commercial

    I know a bloke similar to you, he's got his am2 this July and he's not ready imo, they have been holding him off the testing side of things, boilers and other stuff. He's a good worker but limited given he's been doing it 4 years. He's doing a proper apprenticeship and I reckon the company would...

    Should I change from Domestic to Commercial

    Cause they don't want you getting a Gold Card because their making good money out of you. They know, they either up your money once you get a Gold Card or your off.

    Should I change from Domestic to Commercial

    If you don't move your just end up a cheap form of labor, I know guys who are in the same situation on the cards and the cis route. New build work runs like a factory production line, everyone as a role to play and that's how it stays. The lads think they are going to become electricians and...

    Cut-throat Competition: The Race To The Bottom

    Plenty of people wanting to be Electricians and 90% of the time Domestic is where they target, new build and occupied. There's to many and that just drives down prices and people need money so will work for less than the next person to survive that's a fact.

    Cut-throat Competition: The Race To The Bottom

    Domestic work, anyone and everyone dabbles in it, its a finished industry for decent sparks, its 90% semi skilled work. Don't know why decent sparks persist trying to compete in the domestic game (maybe the cash jobs) How many domestic vans driving around out there with logo's trying to get...

    Cut-throat Competition: The Race To The Bottom

    Makes no odds to me with your chocolate factory theory, it aided me for the past 30 odd years when JIB cards are needed to get on certain jobs and in years to come (won't affect me) its will the be norm for a lot of companies and employers only taking on JIB registered. That won't affect the...

    Cut-throat Competition: The Race To The Bottom

    Domestic work is saturated with cheap labour doing the work with one spark over seeing it and another one signing off the work with a cert so to speak. It will only get worse for the genuine decent Domestic Electricians trying to work for themselves given the amount of career changers and every...
