I realised that I was being too kind (or stupid) and not charging customers any extra when I went a little over and into the next hour, and I am now charging them half of the next hour's labour charge if I go over 10 minutes into the next hour but work for less than 30 minutes.
I am curious if...
I have been reading posts on this forum for quite a time, and some people have been criticising Part P as though it was a wonderful world before Part P came along.
I personally don't think it was so great before Part P, and I don't think it's so great now, but my point is that there were...
hi all just a quick one. My sister is currently in the process of moving house and the solicitors have asked to see an EIC for an orangery she had built back in 2013. I carried out the electrical work for her at the time, and it was pretty standard stuff. Four double sockets and a light, the...
As most of you are aware part p was introduced in 2005. This has lead to a huge surge in people becoming part p registered installers. This is not the issue although anyone who works on electrical installations should have "sufficient" knowledge and training as to minimise risk.
The approved...
I don't want to fall foul of Part P, so.........
I have an existing Off Peak system, whole house switches over at 00:30/01:30, BST dependent.
I want to add a storage heater to the EXISTING setup, independently wired from the CU. Since it will be an addition to an existing circuit, am I as a...
Hi
I was wondering if someone could offer some advice?
The business is doing a lot of kitchen and bathrooms and every so often they need a new cooker circuit or extractor fan, FCU for a standalone oven that sort of thing. At present I wire it in test it and then a lad I know comes and test it...
Sounds odd I know but bear with me. Myself and my business partner have set up an electrical installation business but OLEV (EV governing body) require us to be part of an electrical association. This is presumably to show them that we are a legitimate business but neither of us are...
Yeh just been working on the situation at the local Chinese Takeaway, what a difference a day can make. Notice anything unusual mmmm? N.B. It is a work in progress.
Yeh so thought I would check the main fuses and still can't tell what rating they are. I did contact the man from the DNO who said no hurry the next few months will do. @Leesparkykent he did say there are no penalty charges right now but come April there will be. We spoke with the energy...

Anybody help with the sizing of power cables when the cable is part run in a duct.
The supply in question is 630A, so it makes a big difference!
If the cable run is 40m where 8m is in a duct, do you have to rate the cable as if it was in a duct for its entire length?
The supply in question is...
So im hearing all different versions from people.
some people are saying that you need to pass a part p exam and become a part p electrician.
Ive also heard that thers no such thing that its only a paragraph in the building regs and that anyone can pay a building control for a higher fee or if...
Greetings
I will be attending the second practical week of my Domestic Electrical Installer course soon.
C&G 2365 Unit 201/501 - Health and safety in Building Services Engineering.
Certified outcomes: Part P Defined Scope.
Does this mean that I would be able to apply for some kind of...
Hello again and thank you for anyone who has posted on the other poll so far.
This poll is really for the forum members here who were trained through training centres on a Part P training package.
I have no intention of criticising anyone who contributes to this poll, the objective here is to...
How can you do this method when the cable is buried in plaster entering an accessory box or a CU ? all very well on a workshop table, but in the real word no chance, yes the fist bit is how I was taught, but scouring cable??????

They are doing part funded courses through the European funding scheme.
So I thought I'd try. So far I've filled out...
