    Minor Works on new Thermostat

    Its always awkward with a minor works, they are designed to be issued when you have modified a circuit, say adding another socket or additional lighting etc, This involves installing extra cable so it alters the original test results. A minor works just establishes the fact that the circuit is...

    UK Advice on Hoover Oven Installation

    Off topic but I love winding my mate up with this, he says its time to clear up get the hoover (we have a Henry in the van). I love to point out to him time and time again - "its a vacuum not a hoover, hoover make fridges, washing machines, ovens etc". To drill home the point I then say "where...

    Non payment and sign off

    At least he has been open about that one, he pockets 20% of our cost allegedly. Or as he puts it in his office speak "It's costings plus 20% markup on your labour and material rates" or something equally as boring.

    Non payment and sign off

    I'm more annoyed about how much time its costing me more than the money at this stage, I wouldn't mind but my mate is dealing with it mostly. He is prepared to go back and forth a million times with messages between himself and the client/builder but that's up to him, however he keeps ringing me...

    Toilet facilities on the job

    thought I would re-visit this one, yet again we turned up to a job and no toilet on site, it was an upstairs flat with no garden or anything outside. I wouldn't mind but the soil pipe was there, even the flexi but someone had ripped the toilet out and binned it. The joiners were peeing in...

    Non payment and sign off

    This was from the latest email we go from him. So, I thought I would put these items in an e-mail to hopefully resolve; 1/ My client has exhausted their funds to complete the works & wish to carry out any variations at a later date (paid directly to yourselves). There are elements of the...

    Non payment and sign off

    Bit of a rant first to explain the situation:- Effing builders again, I knew there was a reason we hardly ever work for them. We've done a few jobs for one particular builder and we were on strict payment terms with him, basically if he didn't pay what was owed on the Friday then we wouldn't be...

    Calculation submain cables

    Why is the DNO connection so far away from the dwelling? Do the DNO expect you to run your own submain from the substation nowadays or something.

    Click grid pro stuff

    Thanks, it says under the picture of the 4 front plates (in the tiniest writing possible) "Excluding the definity grid pro front plates which do have their own inserts" and as you say it also states that you need a yoke for the multi tier stuff. So to print NO YOKE everywhere on their adverts...

    Click grid pro stuff

    That's the way I understood it works, and I've done it this way with the plastic stuff in this range before. But these are screwless fronts that must clip onto something. I've ordered some of these...

    Dodgy trade pictures for your amusement! - 1 Million Views!

    We are currently re-wiring a run down house, just your average 3 bed end terrace. Everything inside it electrically pointed to it being some sort of old commercial business, EM lights dotted about for one. but according to the new owner it wasn't, he said an old bloke lived there that was a bit...

    This is confusing, I've ordered a few bits of this stuff, some switch modules and front plates and in the bumf on the website it says:- Click Scolmore Introduced a new range of Click GridPro Frontplates and modules. A comprehensive range of finishes and modules available to offer ultimate...

    2 circuits in one cable.

    Just to update this thread, we've steered well clear of the original electrics and put our own little consumer unit in for our new work. The standard of their "re-wire" was appalling. There were things like the summer house/bar being fed from a 2.5 SWA drilled through the wall with a plug on the...
