    Consumer unit for shipping container

    I'm fairly sure that a shipping container is constructed of non combustible material.

    Personal pensions - Do you pay into one?

    There is no pension pot to raid, the state pension is paid from taxes. It's been reported that he's considering reducing the lifetime allowance to £800K, probably doesn't concern anyone here. Or, reducing the higher rate tax allowance from 40% to 20%, long overdue IMO, or introducing an...

    Cheapest way to sign off work?!

    Why £800? Napit is £395 + vat (£474), don't know what the others charge.

    Consumer unit

    This totally misses the point and it's getting a bit tedious now. What's so hard to understand about workmanship??? Of course terminals can loosen over time, if the termanitations were made correctly then that’s fine, you've done the job correctly so what’s the problem? You’re not guaranteeing...

    Consumer unit

    I don't give a 30 year guarantee, my quotes do not even mention a guarantee. Just simply that I'm confident enough of my own standards to not have to worry about if failing after 12 months. I'm sorry that you feel you can't say the same about your work.

    Consumer unit

    You will know if it's a mistake that you made, think about it, if you're called to a fault years later then it's not going to be down to you. What on earth could that fault be all those years later. If you installed correctly then terminals working their way loose will not be down to you, so...

    Consumer unit

    This is why you need to put a mark up on materials, to cover this.

    Consumer unit

    Not quite true James. If the manufacturers have fitted a faulty part, then as soon as they are aware they will recall the vehicle and sort it no matter how old the car or whether you have maintained it properly or not. There are often recalls when it becomes clear that a part is faulty or failing.

    Consumer unit

    Well, yeah, I would. If it was obvious to me that the board had not been touched since then why wouldn't I. But here's the thing, this has never happened to me and I suspect such a scenario has never happened to you either. Let me turn the question around PM. You're a competent tradesman...

    Consumer unit

    I don't know why any of that would be a problem PM. I'm not guaranteeing the installation for life, if time has passed and I'm called to a fault where others have been involved then all bets are off. I'm just talking about my workmanship. I should have thought that even the law would say you're...

    Consumer unit

    The point I was trying to make is, the consumer unit as fitted is a construct of the electrician. Sure the consumer unit as bought will have a warranty but the 1st thing the sparky will do is knock holes in it, he will then fit other items such as mcbs, rcbos and maybe other things. It is a...

    Consumer unit

    And I don't know why people keep on pedaling using unregistered un vetted electricians UNG, some of the posts on here regarding work done by handymen and chancers are an embarrassment to this industry. For what it's worth, I was not 'peddling' anything, you do what you like. I pay to have my...

    Consumer unit

    The electrician will guarantee the work Peevee. A consumer unit is not one item but several, and there are other things to consider like tails, glands and any work required to bring the installation to a condition that a board change can go ahead. As a responsible landlord, you would have used...

    Bathroom light isnt working

    Scott, you're asking the impossible here. No body will be able to look at a picture of a hanging cable and tell you what to do with it. Listen to Dusty and get an electrician in.

    13A sockets different phases

    If you wouldn't normally expect 400v between the sockets I'd recommend a sign or label fixed between them. Though as already said, there's no reg prohibiting it.

    When does labelling have priority over colour coding??

    All well and good DW, this doesn't really need saying, but I'd be interested to know how you would connect the compressor in the OPs photo and what dead tests will identify phase conductors.

    When does labelling have priority over colour coding??

    I do a lot of work for a fish & shellfish company, very quiet since the turn of the year but that's another thread. I'm forever changing pumps, I just go by the labeling, never look at or notice the colours unless there's no label. It's normally u v w but also l1 l2 l3 or just 1 2 3, I wouldn't...
