    Greatest Electrical Game Changers

    We also mustn’t forget that bastion of electrical safety and quality control, the NICEIC. I’m sure UNG will whole heartedly argued on that one. ?

    Buzzing Mains Socket

    When reporting it to the council did you mention the fire risk? To be honest, if there is arcing in the socket you should be isolating the circuit straight away and getting it fixed before re energising.

    Buzzing Mains Socket

    Rule number1. Safe Isolation. Rule number 2. Safe Isolation. Rule number 3. Safe isolation before even thinking of doing anything with your electrics. Check with landlord first but you can’t go wrong with videos by GSH Electrical as they teach apprentices. Likely a loose connection or faulty...

    lighting circuit mess,borrowed neutral?

    As above. Id be wanting to start from scratch with that lot and work out what was linked to what. If there is a borrowed neutral my first port of call would be on any two way lighting between upstairs and downstairs. Post 2 is your answer.

    NICEIC Certification Scheme New QS requirements

    I think your criticism of the NICEIC is very unfair. They play an essential role in maintaining standards and policing the electrical installation industry.

    NICEIC Certification Scheme New QS requirements

    Never pays to sit back. CPD for everything these days as things are always changing. Plus NICEIC run lots of nice courses just for that purpose. That’s why some time served sparks who did apprenticeships years ago will also not be up to scratch.

    NICEIC Certification Scheme New QS requirements

    Just had my third annual assessment with ELECSA which is transferring over to NICEIC. I’m only a domestic bodger ?. The assessor was of the view that there’ll be grandfathers rights for those currently registered. Said it’s likely to be a headache for those touting the short intensive courses...

    Plastered Ceiling

    Wouldn't drill from the loft downwards as there'd be an increased risk of bigger chunks breaking off on the edges of the ceiling surface as the hole saw breaks through. A pilot hole from above would work though.

    Complete Home Repairs - Beware

    You have to be careful with scammers. Those registered as directors are not necessarily running the show. Quite often patsies are used to set up bank accounts to launder the proceeds.

    solar panels installation and test on allotment site

    Whether it’s a requirement or not it may just be a condition of the ‘funders’. May be the usual backside covering exercise to ensure they have no liability if they have funded a dangerous installation. My thoughts FWIW.

    Pick the bones outa this EICR

    I don’t do EICR’s I’m afraid. Just commenting on DD’s post above. Is there any official guidance on the minimum extent of EICR’s for landlords?

    Pick the bones outa this EICR

    I’d concur with that especially if said space was also full of junk but then I suppose ‘inaccessible’ is as described!
