    Dodgy builder and 'electrician' fined for dodgy work and using the scheme logo

    So they commited fraud/deception and caused a house fire due to their dangerous work and they just got a fine! As already suggested had they not used a part pee logo they may not have even been fined. So the moral of story is, if you do dangerous/illegal electrical work that causes a fire...

    Electrician does Question Time ...

    I hope the long grass he's sitting on isn't wet or he will have a damp patch on his shorts, which won't look too good especially to his customers. Also it would concern me sitting on long grass whilst making such a long video, that all sorts of creepy crawlies will have crawled inside the...

    Cabling where practicality goes a miss

    I did the 16th edition, and I don't recall 20 years ago T/E being okay to install outside, but with you saying that and someone already liking your comments, then perhaps I must have been doing it wrong back then by not installing it outside.

    Pain the backside job

    Maybe he can drive her to the bank tomorrow to withdraw the £10,000 she needs to pay him for a full rewire.

    Pain the backside job

    I do agree with you in some cases, but certainly not on the basis that one circuit or even all are from the 1970s, as that's no grounds to recommend a full house rewire.

    Pain the backside job

    I agree with others that you just have to isolate the unsafe socket/circuit. Did you do an EICR, or how else otherwise could you recommend a full rewire on the property?

    18th edition exam - my thoughts

    I took mine out of my bag and had it in front of me throughout the exam next to the one that was already on the desk and the invigilator never said a word. This was the only exam where the invigilator asked everyone with a phone to leave it at the front with him (not sure if it's a new thing)...

    Cabling where practicality goes a miss

    Not sure if you are being serious, but anytime I see T/E installed externally, I always prepare myself for more bodges inside the property. I frequently see people on their mobile phones when driving, but it doesn't make me think that lots of people are doing it so its okay!

    18th edition exam - my thoughts

    Yes. I tagged about 12 pages, but one guy in the exam looked liked he had tagged every page (lol).

    18th edition exam - my thoughts

    Apologies if my thread is a replicate of other threads. Can't speak for other Part P schemes, but the NICEIC said I had until June 2019 to get the 18th edition, so I have been able to work and issue certificates with just the 17th edition since the 1st January.

    18th edition exam - my thoughts

    None that required me to use a calculator, but I understand from others that some exams will require you to use a calculator. I brought a calculator along, but there was one provided for each person in the exam just in case.

    18th edition exam - my thoughts

    I Just did my 18th edition exam and I will share my thoughts with those that haven't yet taken it, and although I ordered the 18th bs7671 book last summer, it sat in a cupboard still wrapped in the cardboard it was delivered in until about 5-6 days before my exam. I watched the sparkyninji...

    Interlinking smoke detectors

    Thanks guys. It's one of those job requests where I won't bother because they had to spend 2 weeks thinking about whether to accept my hourly rate (no doubt whilst getting other quotes), and the have no idea of the make and only want one of 3 detectors replaced even though they can't even...

    Interlinking smoke detectors

    I have only previously installed the same makes of interlinking smoke detectors, but do they tend to work with other makes (one requires replacing)?

    Electrician gone Awol

    People who are cash rich don't need to pay tax.

    Electrician gone Awol

    Apologies, I hadn't considered how much you might have really liked him, and the fact that he was moonlighting and you were paying cash was purely a coincidence as you had a wad of cash due being cash rich, and you didn't get any other quotes so might have even been paying well over the odds...

    Electrician gone Awol

    Clearly there is some correlation because you knew he was moonlighting and it was a cash in hand job,so you wanted a cheap job or you would have employed a registered electrical who would highly unlikely ask for cash, and you must have also been aware that he couldn't issue the required...

    Electrician gone Awol

    You basically employed him to do the work cheap (cash in hand) knowing he shouldn't be doing it, so as they say 'pay cheap pay twice.'

    How will you spend the bank holiday weekend ?

    Lots of internet research with a large box of man size tissues next to me.
