Hello,
Just bought a property and have keys. House is 6-7 years old.
The electricity is turned off and the fuse box has tape over it (as does toilets, sink, fires, etc.,) saying do not use.

Just passed my Am2! Beyond the celebrations and continuing to work hard, are there any tips from the experience professionals within the forum. And what am I qualified to do at this moment, By myself?
Left the Army after 25 years and have got 17th Edition, C&G Inspecting and Testing and Part P. However, I need to work with someone who has lots of experience so I can learn from them. Book learning is OK, but now need hands on. I've already registered with ELECSA, but have spoken to them to...

Just introducing myself Taggle working onsite and somehow working as the supervisor! Enjoying the job and looking forward to more of the same, could be better money but I think everyone would say that.
Hi all. This is my first post since joining.
I've just completed C&G 2330 level 3 and was wondering what else I need before I go it alone or try and get a job in the industry. I'm hoping to book onto the 17th edition regs course later this year. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hi all,
Wondered if I could pick your collective brains, I'm possibly looking to install an RCBO only board on my newly re-wired house and wanted to know the best make/model? I'll then weigh up the options of dual split rcd with 2 RCBO on the unprotected side or full RCBO.
Cheers
Hello all, be gentle I am newly qualified and this is my first post! I have a customer who cannot get their boiler serviced due to a 5 volt current on their gas pipe when the upstairs lighting circuit is energised. All the supplemental and equipotential bonding seems ok, tests are within limits...

Hi Guys,
I'm sure it has happened to quite a few of you but I was wondering why do companies not pay newly qualified electricians the full rate when they qualify ? Let me know you experiences ?
