    Unable to find earth rod when doing EICR

    EICRs are open to so much interpretation it’s actually ridiculous. Let me put it this way. There’s no way I’d be able to confidently hand over an EICR without verifying the type, condition and connection of electrode. End of the day, like said above, it’s down to the assessor. You make your...

    Unable to find earth rod when doing EICR

    Let me start by saying I read a lot of your posts Essex and I know you know your ---- & respect your opinions. However, I can’t back this pal I just can’t. 1) You have no clue what you’re testing, or how many. 2) external conditions could influence the decent readings when in reality you...

    Unable to find earth rod when doing EICR

    You have 2 questions, I have 1: Why do you automatically presume Rod? What’s to say you haven’t got an earth plate electrode? Anyway, let’s presume Rod. You have no idea whether: A) the rod is of suitable material & size despite the decent reading. B) whether it’s correctly installed via a...

    Plumber needs training to gain Part P

    Lol. “Signing off electrical work” You’re a plumber not a spark stick to your own trade. Part-P isn’t a qualification it’s a building reg. This thread is ridiculous.

    2 spurs from a Junction Box....worried?

    I feel like an apprentice again, or worse a Electrical Trainee. I’d grade it with a squiggle that cant be deciphered - I’ll make it look like a 1,2,3 and a tick, maybe even a N/A to cover all basis. I’m off to bed. If I dream about spurs, I hate you all.

    2 spurs from a Junction Box....worried?

    Oh no let’s not start this again! None of us with a brain cell would ever do it this way anyway, so even if it isn’t against the regs let’s just pretend it is? Someone said they’d only ever do it like this if they absolutley had too - but I can’t even imagine a scenario which would make this...

    2 spurs from a Junction Box....worried?

    OP. Basically fella, you’ve opened a can of worms. After reading this, and seeing SparkyChick taking on the forum. My opinion is: What you’ve done is bad practice and I would never ever do it like this, and I’ve always been taught that this is wrong. But - hey, it doesn’t appear to be against...

    Help needed to review quality of distributer box installation

    1) Do not pay a penny, that’s a disgrace. 2) If the Cowboy gets argumentative report him to trading standards for doing work well out of his capabilities. Also, link him to this thread on this forum and inpaticular the paragraph below STOP! You absolute <insert word> You’re completely out of...

    2 spurs from a Junction Box....worried?

    I apologise for my language this morning and my post was correctly edited by a mod. My outburst was probably a little OTT and if I came across as rude it wasn’t my intention, just this sort of stuff does boil the p155 of electricians. Maybe I should of read more, but I still think what you...

    2 spurs from a Junction Box....worried?

    I’ve read the first 3 pages of this thread only. And I am absolutely baffled that nobody has called the OP out for being out of his depth. I’m all for DIY ... if I wasn’t I’d be a hypocrite as I change car tyres on my vehicles. But DIY is absolutley not splitting rings and wiring fresh whether...

    Couple of questions to the wise

    I like to wrap my CPC in Brown, especially when installing new lighting circuits. This way when Mr.DIY changes his light fittings, and doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing, he has no eyebrows left. P.S Jk.

    Send my apologies to the client. The previous owner is a ...... (insert word of choice)

    Do other trades actually think ????????????

    True, but anyone with an ounce of common sense would arrange for the electrics to be relocated prior to the garage door being installed. Client just as much at fault.

    Domestic - What do you normally use?

    I just personally feel conduit and a female adaptor is a better jobby than capping and a grommet. Just me probably.

    Domestic - What do you normally use?

    Conduit makes the job more professional & also, it’s easier to re-route cables when the architect suddenly decides it’s Monday morning and he’s going to change the drawings for the 100th time.
