    MK AFDD / RCBO module for MK Sentry CU?

    FYI MK stuff now produced under licence by Circpro. Apparently there will be a combined RCBO/AFDD range being available to order on 21/11/2022. There was an MK stand at Elex Sandown Park the other week. Chinese owned & manufactured I believe.

    MK AFDD / RCBO module for MK Sentry CU?

    Been a while since I last posted on here. Hope everyone is keeping well. šŸ‘ I appears for interweb searching the MK or the new guise of MK are producing an AFDD / RCBO that will fit the MK Sentry CUā€™s. Is anyone actually selling them? I see that TLC show a manufactures spec sheet but unless I...

    Help with noises please

    I had an old style metre with the spinning wheel that made a loud squeak. Reported on line to my DNO, SSE saying I was scared it might catch fire or explode. They came out and replaced very quickly. Obviously there are some key words to hit for a prompt response. šŸ˜Ž Get it checked by your DNO.

    'Urgent remedial action' estimates

    At the end of the day itā€™s down to how much you want the sale. Some of the remedial fixes like correcting the fuse on the radial and replacing a light fitting could be corrected very cheaply and on your terms. I wouldnā€™t get involved in the expense of correcting stuff to meet buyers buy to let...

    'Urgent remedial action' estimates

    Spot on LS. Just say that the state of the electrics are factored in to the price of the sale. Older fuse board, buyer can do any remedial work to their required spec.

    UK Adding additional sockets

    Good question. Try sparking the debate on here about why we have ring final circuits at all. šŸ˜Ž

    UK Adding additional sockets

    As little spark. If the socket you are extending from is already part of the ring itā€™s dead easy to add additional sockets by extending the ring especially if the additional socket is close to where you are axtending from.

    burning smell from cable or somewhere?

    Any portable lamps or hot light fittings that an insect has crawled into and fried? Probably the wrong time of year but there are still the odd fly or spider about? We used to have a corner lamp with a 150w bulb that used to cook loads of insects and make a right old stink.

    Re wire estimate 4 bed house

    Agree. Iā€™d been charging Ā£30/hour min down in sunny Surrey with no probs. Was surprised that a mate of mine who is a very experienced proper spark, just down the road, was charging the same. Told him he needed to charge more. Current climate, with inflation going the way it is , surprised...

    Re wire estimate 4 bed house

    If you've factored in the condition of the house (including electrics) then stick to your guns. At the end of the day you're negotiating a price which will be influenced on market forces, how much they want to buy and how much you want to sell. If you've factored wiring in to the price then tell...

    Experience with 247trainingUK?

    Accreditation with C&G or EAL is still not a guarantee. I did a course with ACCESS TRAINING who presumably were accredited to give access to C&G exams. The training was very poor and the courses were miss-sold. Students were signed up to over priced credit agreements and devastated when they...

    Anyone heard of Sunliteā€¦

    Quite a few companies come up when you google Sunlite. I think Iā€™d be going back to the client to get more details on where they got the panels from.

    Also. Search Access Training on here. I used them and was not impressed. Also there are a few changes afoot re ā€˜domesticā€™ sparks. Go the college route. Also check with the comp person schemes as to qualification requirements. Have fun.

    UK Job price sheet

    Price per hour plus materials. Charged less per hour when Iā€™d just started out as I knew I took longer due do inexperience and too much pondering ?. Not that Iā€™m much better now ?

    Hob cable outside then in

    My thoughts too ?. Nothing against running inside, out and in again. Install according to regs re rating and appropriate protection from outside influences. How about a nice bit of galve conduit? ? Give the customer a load more choices on the outside aesthetics. ?

    Just replaced my 6plus with a second hand XR, seems ok but Iā€™m no tech geek. Donā€™t want to get sucked in to a contract on the latest version.
