    Any other ideas?

    Sorry I have only just read this. That conduit disappears under a mezzanine floor and contains a ring final circuit and part of a lighting circuit. It would have been a nightmare to pull those conductors out and get them back through. A route the customer didn't want to go down. I didn't...

    Anyone Go Night School/college To Become An Electrician? Not Apprenteship

    I do yeah, it's longer hours and I find it hard to switch off sometimes as I'm always thinking about potential problems on jobs etc but I try and make up for that in my pricing. In all honesty, my first year was slow but I still live at home with my parents so there's no pressure (which is one...

    What Tips Have Saved You Time And Money?

    I have a spreadsheet which I use to record what I've fitted on each job. for a down light for example it'd list the brand and model as well as the color temperature, bezel color and the warranty period. This is reference to the customer and the date fitted. If it fails and I need to replace it...

    Anyone Go Night School/college To Become An Electrician? Not Apprenteship

    I did a year at college doing my level 2 in the day 3 times a week as I was 18 at the time. I then started my level 3 at the age of 19 which took another year and I did that one night a week at college. I worked as a mate whilst i did my level 3 and for a few years thereafter. I did my 2394 and...

    Wiring A Small Commercial Kitchen

    Some good points mentioned above. I'd certainly tell them the pros and cons of the different methods and if they do decide on plastic then I'd make it clear in your quote, the limitations of the pvc and the risks of it warping etc. I'd also suggest noting in your quote that if that was to...

    SWA to garden studio

    Lee sparky Kent has the best idea with regards to installing a duct and rope pull through, I'd consider installing two ducts in case you decide to have data, cctv and alarm cables run down there from the house at a later date. Leave the cable calcs to the spark so that you are not wasting your...

    Neutral to earth fault - lighting circuit

    Unfortunately that was a similar scenario for me. It was a kitchen refurb and the customer just didn't want to know. It just reinforces the fact that the first thing you should do is test the circuit before you work on it.

    Neutral to earth fault - lighting circuit

    Had this once on a dormer bungalow, it was an absolute nightmare to find but the neutral to a lighting circuit loop had been broken And one end had shorted to the CPC. So the lights were still on when I turned off the mcb.

    Certifying another Sparks work

    I think stroma offer third party certification but I'd never do it and I'm not even sure what criteria needs to be met. It'd be a thorough EICR at best for me as I wouldn't want to put my name to something that I haven't done.
