Good afternoon,
I am a time served domestic electrician but have been factory based for the last 8 years meaning my SJIB card has lapsed.
I am currently converting an internal garage at my house and am doing the electrical work myself.
I am installing 2 new sockets on an existing circuit and...
Hi,
Can any of you advise me, I've been told that to do work on the 12v circuits in a caravan a person must be qualified, if youre not, youre breaking the law. I am an electrican by trade (not currently working as a sparky), but I'm not well up on the regs. I find it very hard to believe that...
Good evening,
A burning question has arisen in my mind regarding minor works certificates.
This is, if you do some work for a customer which involves say adding some additional lights to an existing lighting circuit, as well as an outdoor light spurred and fused off of a ring main. Would you...
All
I've been getting emails recently from Home - PEATA - Professional Extraction Airflow Testers Alliance - https://www.peata.org.uk
Anyone needed to provide flow rate certificates for a bathroom extractor?
This is new to me and I assume others here are getting these emails too - thoughts?
I'm a gas engineer working for a well known retailer. Spend all day Installing cooking/laundry. Electrical training is pretty poor on their part. Here to educate myself in best practice/regs. Pretty sure much of what they ask us to do electrics wise is beyond our competency.
Hi all, I recently read a discussion in a different forum which was done about 2009 regarding the big 3 CPS I.e Nic, Napit and stroma.
Some were been praised to high heaven, while others were shredded to pieces to burning hell.
*I am wondering how and where this bodies are rated now after 10yrs...

hi, asking as a customer not a tradesman
Having had a rewire and had some issues with the electrician , namely his working standards and the fact the job took twice as long as estimated. I paid a third up front before work started, he then coerced a not agreed upon second payment out of me a...
Hi, when you guys do your EIC certs for a multi board installation do you complete one Particulars of install at origin and one schedule of items inspected for the whole install and do multiple schedule of test results for each board or do a complete a full 6 page cert for each sub board off the...
Hi just to say thanks for the below PDF a couple of weeks ago. Can't find who posted it but anyway I am sure you know who you are. Thought I would post it again for anyone else who is going to sit the update/exam, a good resource. It was brilliant in the 18th Ed. exam. Really made getting to the...
There are lots of discussions on forums about what is and isn’t Part P notifiable work. Everything I have done on the past or would want to do in future is non-notifiable, especially now that outdoor wiring is now non-notifiable if it doesn’t involve creating a new circuit. However, the...
Hi folks, this will probably be obvious to most folks on here but I'm new to this. A friend is putting together a quote to rewire my house. He is a qualified and very experienced electrician working for a big local firm but this will be a private job. He's not joined one of the schemes like...
Please can people clarify what value they insert in the Max Zs field on certification.
I've always input 100%. Currently in disagreement with another person as they are specifying 80%.
Done my 2391 in 2008 and I was taught and told it's always 100% and it's down to the QS to interpret the...
Hi,
First time poster, not sure if this post is in the correct section? I am trying to sort out a meter for a friend who has an equestrian business.
He has an old three phase supply but no three phase equipment. EON are metering an average of 80kwh per day which I am disputing.
The meter is...
Hi all sorry if this has already been covered but new to here. I've just fitted a sub board in an office block to feed a shower bkock. But unsure which cert to issue. Its an additional circuit of the main board
Hello everyone.
We are starting a none-profit in the midlands and hopefully if all goes well we will have a commercial premises within the next couple months.
It is fed with three phase power and has a few sockets around the parameter of the unit as well as some horrid 8' tubes for lighting...
