Not sure whether this is the right context or even forum to mention this, but I’ve recently been offering out myself to a friend to help get his Certs across the line for a small fee off the top.
Would anyone anyone else consider this? With all the right details provided I can get these across...
As a non-electrician (I make the tea in the forum imaginary office, I think the tea is real though) I wonder, is there a way to avoid a certification scheme fully and self-certify or perhaps use a council per-job or something?
It does seem like, now knowing most companies are somehow heavily...
My landlord split his yard & built a granny flat before I moved in, is there any chance I could be paying his electricity? My electricity has tripled since I moved here & My vac made the main fuse switch off & his electricity went out too but he’s got what looks to be his own set up for his...
Hi all.
I have been running my Sole Trader business for just over a year now and have been quite successful in keeping myself in work.
Word of mouth and regular repeat business is keeping me afloat but I always have my eye on the next 3-6 months and I'm starting to wonder how long this streak...
Hi all, biting my tongue here!
Have recently gone self employed in January, so cashflow is critical right now.
I done some work for a lady, agreed an hourly rate which she was happy with as it worked out almost £180 cheaper than job price she had been quoted elsewhere. Originally she wanted 2...
Anyone got any advice on what to do please? I'm owed nearly £400 for various work for a customer. The work included replacing light fittings and accessories, all of which I supplied. I also, soon after doing this work, did two EICRs for her. To cut a long story short she was very unhappy that...
OK so I have a customer who won't pay ( claim not to have the money).
Its a shop due to open tommrow and its not finished, there are bits missing all over and only a couple of circits temp connected.
Should I do a EDN to cover my arse as its not finished or tested.
My electricity bills are 1.5-2.5k per month for a 5 bedroom house. My heating was running off ? electric so while this figure is extremely high it (kind of) made sense, as the house is large. I had an electrician calculate the space and electric consumption. As it was so high, I decided to go...

I've got a new job starting next month and my current employer is saying I have to pay for an IPAF course I did last November
I had to sign for the card when company received it, and i just put a scribble on it ,
I was told it was just saying I'd received the card, never read it ( my bad)...
When starting out subbying, a few people suggested to me that I should start out as ltd. As I would already be paying agencies/umbrellas £20 a week to receive my wages (£1040~ a year) it would work out cheaper to go Ltd and pay an accountant. Subsequently I had a meeting with an accountant and...
Got sent this from a mate of mine working on the job concerned that the electricians first fix on a kitchen was a bit rough. Never seen anything like it me! thought it was a Pi$$ take at first :eek::eek:... (using the term electrician very loosely o_O)
Thought I'd share with you all :)
Are any other sparks on here feeling fed up after having to part with January 31st tax bill?:mad:
To add insult to injury I have also had to pay the accountants bill and the wholesalers bills.
To top if all off,most of my jobs are ongoing so haven't received any money for a couple of weeks.
The...
