    Safety and part p questions

    In the real world if you told every customer to have a full EICR every time you go to look at a fault you will not be getting much work! I tend to concentrate on the fault as reported, if I see anything along the way I bring it to their attention there and then, note it on the MWC and or issue a...

    Testing my own work..

    irrespective of whether you are qualified, yes you can do your own certification but you cannot notify your own work unless with a scheme, technically you will have to pay them a works fee to notify your own work. This fee may already be included in your fees or they may charge you an additional...

    The dreaded BSOD! (blue screen of death)

    I would by an SSD hard disc and get it mirrored and swapped over a.s.a.p, they are so cheap now, bit of a no brainer! You can buy a 240GB from amazon from £30!

    Self employed. Which business bank?

    I quite like the fact that you can use a Post Office with HSBC although I do have one three minutes walk from my house, cash just gets paid over the counter straight onto your debit card which then finds it's way into your account.

    Self employed. Which business bank?

    If you want to pay then HSBC, if you have £5K spare to deposit then Metrobank as with a constant £5k deposit business banking is free, HSBC charge me £5.50 a month (free for first 18 months) and they are fine.

    House Rewire Advice Needed

    Every day is a learning day, never though of doing this! I like this, the switch plate method I find to be too busy and complete carnage when it comes to fault finding.

    House Rewire Advice Needed

    3 x ring final circuits and minimum of 2 x lighting circuits, radials for smoke alarms, cooker, heating circuits. What have they recommended for a consumer unit? Rcbo or split load? Personally I no longer fit split load boards!

    Newbie looking for advice

    Hi Lou, it is unlikely to be the cause. How old is the property, how many RCD trips do you have, how long have you been there and is this a recent occurrence? Can you post a picture of your consumer unit/fuse board? Has the electrician asked you to turn off and unplug all of your appliances such...

    Earth Electrode Tester Recommendations?

    I have a Megger stand alone earth tester I think it is a DET3TC, have used it about 4 times and is as new in the box. I am probably going to sell it shortly as want to move to an MFT with a built in capability as I am still using a very old Metrel Easitest with no memory. I find that the stand...

    Another vote for scruffs trousers here, I buy Sainsburys black TU t shirts when they have their 25% off weekends, they last forever! and are about £3, I have them embroidered with my company logo but as far as T shirts go you won't go far wrong there. These dewalt jumpers are the mutts nutts...

    First fix wiring advice

    Veronica, You say your in laws have had some pretty bad experiences, they have therefore asked you to project manage a renovation despite you having no experience!? From your post it sounds like you are about to have a go at plaster boarding and plastering. I see a bit of history repeating...

    Paying yourself through a Ltd as a subby

    Look, everyone can have their views but it is up to accountants to decide what is best for their clients individual circumstances. Whatever anyone says there is no single rule for tax affairs and it can be a minefield. My point in all of this and what is clear is that it is not an offence to pay...

    Paying yourself through a Ltd as a subby

    Again you have stated very strong views which are your own interpretation of tax laws. The NMW legislation is quite clear and doesn’t mention managing or silent directors or those ‘on the tools!’ it clearly only mentions those subject of a contract. No contract as a director NMW simply does not...

    Paying yourself through a Ltd as a subby

    I am the director of a limited company and do not take a monthly wage or directors fees, in fact nothing at all! I also work for the company. Please enlighten me where it says in legislation I cannot along with other company directors be paid a dividend if one is issued. Also are you sure that...

    Paying yourself through a Ltd as a subby

    Your comment is simply not correct! Taking a dividend and not a wage is not illegal, neither is it an offence!

    This comment is complete and utter tosh!
