Got to a job today only to find out as well as a test I needed to do some remedial works to the board as the company we had subcontracting to us had made a state of it.
Have come across a few of their bits of handy work, they say a plastic board is a c2 and then change it and management were...
We had a company subcontracted to ours to help with the testing. A few of us expressed concerns to the higher ups but their response was well they're cheap. We found their paperwork wasnt adding up and upon visiting a few properties they claimed to have done found they couldn't possibly have...
Well when I'm ripping D.I.Y stuff out on an EICR its normally a middle aged bloke effing and blinding at me clearly because I've emasculated him and his handy work in front of his wife
My thought exactly. I was feeling very awkward as whilst disconnecting it all she kept crying. I was gobsmacked that someone would charge that for that!! Even done properly by someone reputable it wouldn't come close to that
Went to do an EICR today.
The woman was telling me they'd found a guy on Facebook who came done some downlighters and the false cielings. All for the low low price of £3500. ??
Needless to say it wasn't worth anywhere near that. All dogged off the pendants in flex which had been covered with...
Sorry for the late reply guys.
Although I did an eicr at the property the comments had nothing to do with the eicr. The gas man came after did a gas check noticed they were done like that noticed i had been but hadn't corrected the work so made a comment about it.
Just one of those things...
hi guys
Did an EICR and put it through as satisfactory but one of the gas team has come back and told me that whoever had changed the smoke alarms before I had gone to test had put them up wrong and why didn't I notice as it was against regs.
I dunno if im being stupid. The electrician who...
A mate text me the pics asking. I'm not actually on the job in question and have no way of getting to it so be a bit hard for me personally to take the cover off
Well my company isn't part of the JIB but we have electrician rates and approved electrician rates. I got my 2391 back in January this year but will only be qualified for 2 years cone January 2021. This affects me and another colleague and they keep spouting the business with the 2 years but we...
hi guys
So I've been told that if you get your 2391 quals before you've been qualified for 2 years you have to wait for the 2 years since qualifying to get the title of being an approved electrician? Is this across the board or just for companies registered with the JIB?
Mate you got me confused now ??
He was up and running when I got there. I presume it works with the fact the neutrals share the same connection on the main switch??
I took the cover off. That meter is still in use.
Don't fret though I isolated the supply to everything in the flat from the original MEM switch in the main building and proved dead.
Fly lead???
Would you code it or make a note??
It comes from a cut out fuse in another part of the building which goes to an old meter this then feeds an mem switchgear from here goes the swa to the adaptable box that you see.
