Hi everybody,
I've been asked to do a EICR in a commercial property, So i popped in to have a look on my way home quickly and found the lighting cables are clipped to the ceiling and walls, So my question is... do the lighting circuits need RCD protection due to not being 50mm deep in walls...

Q “can you bond these tables, and what do you think?”
Me. “Well, seeing they are not...
Customer thinks first spark is over egging the pudding and it's not really that bad.
Opened door took pictures and closed door, yes it is that bad.
Not a bad days work, 5 hours travel, 15 minutes taking pictures, 15 minute write up.
Hi Guys and Gals, currently I am finishing off my NVQ & i'm being asked the question on One file "Check the safety of electrical systems prior to the commencement of inspection, testing and commissioning".... Is this just fancy wording to say check Ze before you do anything else?

I did a cert at the time but the client claimed not to have received it. He now wants a guarantee of electrical safety.
OK so no problem getting a copy of the cert. It was a paper version but even so, I did a...

Hi everyone I would appreciate your thoughts on this one.
I had a call from a customer who has recently purchased a house & the cooker hood extractor fan has given up.
