    RCD types and DC current

    I too no longer install dual RCD boards, having switched to A type RCBOs since the 18th edition came into effect. Apart from the better protection that A type RCBOs offer, fitting these RCBOs will ensure that regulations 531.3.2, 536.4.3.2 and 536.4.202 are complied with. I think the AC type...

    Cost of a rewire?

    The first house rewire that I did on my own was in 1982 aged 23. The house was empty with no caperting. 3 x RFCs, 2 x lighting circuits, and three other circuits for cooker, shower and central heating. Fortunately, I already had gained experience of rewiring while serving my apprenticeship, and...

    Labour Manifesto

    From The SNP Chronicle The Herald newspaper: Aye, right ye are Nippy. Whatever you say. 1576335560 According to Nippy, Boris Johnson "does not have a mandate to take Scotland out of the EU". Sturgeon's 'argument' is bogus. Not only does Boris Johnson have a mandate to take England out of...

    Self employed start up

    You don't have to hold any qualifications at all to be an electrician in Scotland. Up here, anyone can call themselves an electrician and trade as such, and there are plenty wetpants and kitchen fitters up here who do exactly that. Hopefully this farcical situation will be coming to and end in...

    CheckaTrade | MyBuilder | RatedPeople | TrustaTrader etc - Who's with what and why?

    I've used MyBuilder and Rated People in the past, but for a variety of reasons, I haven't used either website for quite a while and never will again. I have no need as I'm now in a position where I can pick and choose which jobs I take on, and am fully-booked until the end of March next year...

    CheckaTrade | MyBuilder | RatedPeople | TrustaTrader etc - Who's with what and why?

    The easiest way to beat MyBuilder at their own game is to have your own website and do whatever you need to do to get your website ranked above theirs in Google. It's not that difficult to achieve.

    Checkatrade, Mybuilder, Myhammer ratedpeople etc etc.. Your views?

    This used to happen to me quite often too when I used MyBuilder. In almost every instance, it was women who wasted my time and money. Nothing new there though lol. I haven't used MyBuilder in 10 months and have no intention of ever doing so again. Apart from the timewasters, the site is...

    Essential starter power tools?

    You really can't go wrong with Makita, DeWalt, Milwaukee and Bosch power tools as they're all top quality products. I used Bosch and Milwaukee in the past before converting to the Makita LXT 18 volt range. I also own a DeWalt DCH323T2 54 volt cordless SDS+ which is the dog's dangly bits and is...

    UK Sign off

    Yes, you are. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Building Control will accept your certificate and sign-off on the building warrant. I'm assuming that you did actually apply for and obtain a warrant prior to the work on your attic conversion commencing. I'm also assuming that it is Building...

    Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

    Up to my neck working through the pile of quotations and certificates that have accumulated on my desk. Been at it since 10 am and still not finished. I hate paperwork.:(

    What next, dodgy customer....

    Faced with the same circumstances, I would issue a dangerous installation notice and be done. These people are evidently a pair of mean, tight-fisted opportunists. To hell with them. Who needs customers like this?

    EICR - Holding back test results?

    This is outrageous. It's sharp practices such as this that lower customers' faith in tradesmen and increase suspicion. The customer is being held to ransom. Unacceptable. In the same circumstances I would have given the customer a copy of the report along with a quotation for the remedial work...

    Don’t mess with him...

    Turning-up for work ----ed simply isn't acceptable, particularly when the person who is ----ed is operating a digger and therefore likely to be a danger to others. The employer did the right thing in telling the drunk employee to go home.
