Hi guys
Been having a lot of discussions about pricing jobs lately.
Was wondering what kind of prices per point are we all charging.
We are currently at £70 per point for sockets, switches and lighting.
It will be interesting to see the difference in pricing.
I'll start by saying I don't install EV chargers and have not kept up to any great extent on regs changes etc but an existing customer has asked for a 13a socket for her EV granny charger in a 2nd home. (the previous outdoor socket has melted!).
After doing a bit of reading including 722 I have...
A house we have just re-wired has one of these cooker points,
Trouble is the kitchen wasn't supposed to have been touched by any trade but the wiring was that bad we've had no choice but to renew it all however the cooker switch is in the tiling as opposed to over it so it will leave a hole...
Is this ok?
32amp breaker with a 6mm wire leading to fused cooker switch.
This then leads with 6mm cable to hardwire point.
Can i hardwire 2 x 16 amp appliances to this hardwire point.
This hardwire point is all i have for these these appliances. Should I use a double hardwire point or will...
Help please! I need a Tesla Gen 2 EV charger fitted in my garage which is 22m from the consumer unit. My electrician is proposing to route a 6mm cable through pre-existing plastic conduit which has a cable in already and through a void in concrete walls to a sub-consumer unit at the charge...
Hi Im an apprentice and just wanted to clarify domestic style wiring since i work industrial and don't deal with conventional wiring. in college and the AM2 the only exposure to testing lighting is of a single point that may be switched either one way 2 way or intermediate. that doesn't worry me...

Hi
So converting a 6mm cooker connection point into a 13a unswitched fuse spur with the load being a 2.5mm pre wired cable from a oven .
is this suitable?
thanks

A question perhaps for @Gavin John Hyde or others:
I have a potential customer who is looking for an EV charge point installed at his property to charge a company vehicle.
He needs to be able to generate usage reports for his employer to be able to claim back the cost of charging the EV.
Any...
Simple question: Is the charge controller in a Rolec tethered charger different from that in an otherwise identical non tethered one?
The non tethered charger (EVWP2020) serving my holiday cottages failed last week, with the blue light flashing faster, accompanied by a ticking sound, when a...
We just had a callback from a PV/Battery job because the car charger was working for 30s then turning red and stopping charging. We had disconnected it for a week, but it was reconnected and had power, maybe it needed resetting somehow.
No the thing had somehow detected there was solar power...
Just taken deilvery of an Electric Car (Mini Electric) and so doing some research into installing a charge point.
Supply is a standard Single Phase and I have appointments booked with my supplier and DNO to upgrade meter tails and cutout fuse respectively.
I'll get a spark to do all the...
Hi guys.
Fuseboard looks fine, but all neutrals are connected at one point outside the fuseboard. That way both rcds trip on fault on any of the circuirs.How would yiu code that?
P.s. also no glanding and cables rubbing on the sharp edges of CU?
Thanks
Hi all,
Some background on this question: I am UK-based, and I work with robotics and automation, so have experience with PLC programming, robot programming and installation, certification of robot cells, etc. Something that I have so far not had much exposure to is the design and build of...
So I am a fully qualified spark with my own company, however I also have a few properties I rent out. One of my tenants asked if they can have an EV charge point put on the house paid for by his company, being the good landlord I said of course no problem just let me know when they are there so...
Hi all and thanks for letting me join your forum. I am an old school electrician who has now retired.
So I need some advice, please. I have just moved into a new build house.
It has a 6mm swa cable that terminates in a waterproof box at the side of the house, which then feeds the garage. it s on...
As the title says. I'm really battling with figuring out the best route to electrical training (College level 2/3 v's DI), and to be honest - even though I'm really keen, I'm starting to get a bit disillusioned with the whole thing.
I'm in a technical job currently and 41 so apprenticeship is...
Client wants 2g socket in greenhouse, obviously IP rated,will be supplied from Rcd, the greenhouse consists of metal frame work on the ground.
Does this require MPBC
TLDR: In a 3 wire service are the ground and the neutral always bonded, in all subpanels?
House made in 1970 has the meter and a 150 amps breaker outside the house, on the east wall. There are two hot wires and one neutral, which is clearly bonded/grounded with the enclosure.
Through the attic...
