    Is it worth paying to advertise (Sponsored ads)

    I'll look into starting that up then as I feel I need to get myself noticed a wee bit. No point in spending all that money on a website if it isn't being noticed! How long have you been trading for and how are you getting on? (if you don't mind me asking)

    Hi bud. I do have a website yes, by all means take a look and give some constructive criticism if you wish: About | MB Electrical Services - https://www.mb-electricalservices.co.uk/about/ I am on Google my business too but I don't get many hits (if any) but I'm not paying anything to push it...

    Odd cooker isolator position

    In all seriousness though, the way I sought the information I needed then, thinking it was correct without actually checking the facts first is actually a bit of an eye-opener for me. It has made me realise that I not only rely on those expensive books I've bought but, more importantly, I...

    Odd cooker isolator position

    Don't forget idiot electricians with 25 years' experience who should know better than to take electrical advice off some chap online because it "looks right"...... I'm referring to myself in this instance.. :D

    Odd cooker isolator position

    Well that's what I get for trusting other sources without verifying it first. I'll have to check for myself when I get home later on. Lesson learned....don't take second hand information as truth without checking yourself first. I'll take a wrap on the knuckles for that one. :(

    Cheers bud, I'll do some digging as I know it'll be brought up anyway! :)

    Odd cooker isolator position

    I clearly just made stuff up out of thin air didn't I based on my poor interpretation of the regs......😔 Ok, so there is no specific regulation for its positioning but it is clearly in a position where potential for heat damage. I am happy to C3 it but as it is Private Rented, I need to cover...

    Odd cooker isolator position

    Hi all. Just finished a domestic EICR where I found the cooker isolator to be smack bang in the middle of the actual cooker position. The oven had a glass lid which, when lowered, automatically isolated the supply to the hobs. I have noted it down as C3 due to the existing cooker lid covering...

    Estate agents contractors list

    Because they know that it's the Inspector signing off the electrical installation that would be dragged through the coals and not the property owner. Obviously unless it was provable that they knew about it but if the report says otherwise then they're covered.

    Estate agents contractors list

    You're not wrong Luke! One particular guy I did a bit of work for was only interested in a pass for his properties and would not listen to my findings. He just got his mate round to do another report. It's a joke really. Feel sorry for the tenants in those situations.

    Hi all. I have been running my Sole Trader business for just over a year now and have been quite successful in keeping myself in work. Word of mouth and regular repeat business is keeping me afloat but I always have my eye on the next 3-6 months and I'm starting to wonder how long this streak...

    Estate agents contractors list

    That's fair enough. They're not ALL bad to be fair. I currently do regular work for 3 estate agents/property managers whom I've chosen to work for and not the other way around. I chose them because they are honest, reliable and good payers. You have to get through the dodgy one's to find the...

    Estate agents contractors list

    I used to do work for a local estate agents but ended walking away as the payment time-scales were unacceptable. The way these guys worked was that you would only receive payment once the ENTIRE job was complete. For example, domestic EICR which failed resulting in EICR remedial works being...

    Recommended reading for motor control circuits

    Hi all. Just a quick one really. Some of my work has started to creep into the industrial sector and, as such, I'll need to do a bit of research in order for me to be able to fulfil my client's needs. The specific sector is Fire Sprinkler Systems so it'll be single/poly phase compressors...

    Hi all! Old(ish) spark looking to go it alone but unsure where to start?

    Think it's a Type 3 if I'm not mistaken.

    Hi all! Old(ish) spark looking to go it alone but unsure where to start?

    Ahhh. Very different indeed! Install cost would be significantly higher if we started using these consumer units! Imagine trying to fit one of those in a cramped understairs cupboard! :D
