    Public Liability Insurance

    Hiscox PL EL PI and Tools for me. End of the day, ring round, make them battle for your signature play them off against one another. Insurance companies are all the same at the end of the day, happy to take your money but make it a ball ache if you ever want to claim something through them.

    Fixed installation back to a plug or fused spur

    Rough as. Install an Isolator and have a bit of pride in your work. You say others fit plugs? Don’t be a sheep then and do a proper job. Separate yourself as a man in a trade full of boys.

    Unable to find earth rod when doing EICR

    It absolutley is different. Fault on circuits - breakers trip. Main earth not stable - zs’s not stable - potentially for MCBS not to trip under fault conditions. Can’t compare the main earth to circuits IMO. The problem with the main earth is that once it’s failed it could be too late and...
