I dont incurr the cost though. I have to include it into my price and am 100% upfront about this with my customers. Of course the more work i do it would be better to be involved with a scheme.
Yeah but ive only been self employed for 12 months and for the majority of that ive worked as a subbie. Most of my work is small domestic at the minute and the vast majority of that hasnt been notifiable. Joining a scheme will be somthing i’ll be looking into very soon.
I have to fill in a Building Notification Form along with a cheque for £80 prior to any work starting. That price is the same regardless of work, so its £80 to notify a rewire and £80 to notify installing downlights in a bathroom.
i got shot down on here once for a suggestion made about i think RCD protection on socket outlets and the 18th edition. Correct me if im wrong but is a proposed change that all socket outlets will be RCD protected as opposed to those rated at 20a currently. Anyway i was told you install to the...

Which is part of the reasoning behind the EICR. Once completed i can go back to the customer with my recommendations. Ive perhaps been guilty of looking at the job and trying to provide an installation that is both satisfactory but with minimal costs. As far as im concerned i not only have a...

Botch?
Its all ideal world stuff though. I agree with everything, apart from the botch comment which was made, but ultimately if after ive done the EICR and made recommendations such as a new consumer unit or wiring a new ring and the customer doesnt want to go ahead with such work what do i...
Absolutely agree but there are no more spare ways in the consumer unit, where an RCD is acting as the main switch. Its far from ideal but does it actually warrant any form of code as far as the EICR is concerned? I dont want to scare the customer off recommending this that and the other at a...
The kitchen is getting ripped apart and taken back to brick on some walls. My intention was to break into the existing ring final circuit to supply appliances. The 6mm2 cooker feed will then be used to supply the induction hob although the position of the switch itself needs moving
This is one of the legs fed via the 45a cooker switch to supply the washing machine. It is more than likely less than 2 meters in length but i think the state of the socket still warrants a C2 doesnt it?
