    Salon backwash unit

    That's crazy. I'd refuse to do that I think. Backwash chairs are designed for plumbed hot water. Sometimes that means an abundance of boilers in large salons or even unvented cylinders with immersions, but an electric shower mounted on the chair is just daft.

    Rewire question

    You can issue a certificate as a competent person, but how will you notify this work ?

    UK How do we solve the long meter tail problem?

    6181Y is available from 1.0mm to 35mm or maybe 50mm. I see it all the time in existing lighting circuits.

    UK How do we solve the long meter tail problem?

    Yes the basic insulation of cables should not be exposed in a finished installation (526.8) Yes containment such as metal trunking and conduit provides mechanical protection and may be used as a cpc. It would need earthing regardless of use as a cpc or not (411.3.1.1 and 543.2) Yes a cpc...

    UK How do we solve the long meter tail problem?

    No. 6241Y is sheathed. If a cable is required to carry a cpc why do we have 6181Y ?

    They are PVC sheathed cables and don't require containment.

    UK How do we solve the long meter tail problem?

    Because new builds are thrown up by gangs of trained chimps directed by baboons working for fat cats. I worked on a house where this problem existed. SWA used but not glanded or earthed at either end, no fuse, approx 12m run. House was that new the road wasn't even tarmacked. One socket...

    The new Landlords' EICR requirements. The law says that everything must now be to 18th Edition!

    An inspection is carried out using the 18th edition as the safety standard. The 18th details what an inspection should and shouldn't be about. The installation is deemed safe for continued use. Safety standards have been met. You're overthinking it.

    UK How do we solve the long meter tail problem?

    You can't really as then you'd be putting the whole installation under a single RCD, which is not compliant with section 314. Another method from 522.6.204 would have to be considered if the cables were less than 50mm deep.

    UK How do we solve the long meter tail problem?

    Solve that issue by fusing the tails correctly ? I've seen it a lot on new builds. Most don't have a clue what they're doing, just copy other examples of quick and shoddy work.

    New bush tool

    Looks neat and a lot lower profile than a standard socket.

    UK How do we solve the long meter tail problem?

    What exactly was the problem ? Was it not protected apart from DNO fuse ?

    How many eicr in a day

    At my pace and thoroughness I aim for 1-2 domestic inspections a day max 3 bed house, max 8 circuits per house. This would not include remedials. As said above, any repair work could take any amount of time so is impossible to factor in. The most I have ever done is 3-4 a day. These were one...

    Wiha tool case.... Is it worth it?

    No just pay a fee and you're in. I think it might now be full at 500 members though.

    UK Price guide ... ?? Am I pricing too high

    Odd indeed. I usually get it the other way round. They've done first fix and want me to finish the job. That's always a no.

    The pliers and cutters are great to be fair.

    Would you go back to test and certificate ?

    UK Price guide ... ?? Am I pricing too high

    No such thing as the wrong price, just the wrong customers ;) I must say it's an odd one to be asked to price for first fix only for such a job.
