    Electric shower query

    First of all, please DO NOT use the shower until you are 100% sure it’s sealed and safe to use. Was the electrician you used a member of a competent persons scheme?

    Retrospective Regulations

    So when changing a light under the 18th edition and the lighting circuit has no RCD protection and the consumer unit has no room to instal said RCD, what are we to do?

    10.5KW shower 10mm stud wall query?

    Surely if the ‘builder’ specified the 40A MCB and that’s in writing in the design specs he gave you, then the builder is liable for the price of upgrading the MCB to a 45A RCBO. Just show him the cable/wattage calculations that show it needs the higher 45A MCB/RCBO, he then has no choice it to...

    When it looks wrong.

    The person could be a double leg amputee, or a wheelchair user or a vertically challenged person. My wife’s aunt (80 year old) who can’t stand for long periods has a built in seat in her wet room and the shower itself is sited much lower than a standard shower.

    Stroma Certification Scheme 1st Stroma assessment

    Thanks happhippydad, went to the Link on your examples and if I’ve read & understood the hse.gov webpage correctly I don’t need to complete either form as I don’t employ 5 or more people, in fact it’s only Moir. But I’ll still create an editable PDF in case I’m asked for them.

    Stroma Certification Scheme 1st Stroma assessment

    When you say Health & Safety Sheet and Risk Assessment, what do we actually need? Is it just a basic H&S sheet or an electrician specific sheet and the risk assessment, is that for the work you’re showing them or a genetic risk assessment guide?

    Am i doing enough .... ?

    After only 3 months out of college and you’re managing to 2nd fix 4 sockets, 10 spots & 7 Smokey’s in 5 hours and you’re still learning on the job, I’d say that’s pretty good going. Whenever anyone starts a new job they always start out slowly and make sure everything is done ‘as per training’...

    If the insurance works in a similar way like car insurance, the policy that was in place at the time the work was carried out would be liable. So say, if you’ve changed insurers this year and get a claim from some work carried out 18 months ago, your current insurer wouldn’t be liable, the...

    Perspective customers don’t understand what “Part P” means either and are confused by it too.
