Hey guys, I started my self funded 2357 NVQ earlier this year while working as a subcontractor for an electrical company. I am however looking at leaving this company due to a number of reasons but don’t want this to hinder me completing my NVQ in case my current employer needs to sign off on...
My father (now 80 years of age) has renovated a house. The electrician has rewired it, the building regs people have inspected it and gave the go ahead to plasterboard and finish it. At this point the electrician disappeared, we have asked in the village, one said he passed away in covid, now my...
Bit of a rant first to explain the situation:-
Effing builders again, I knew there was a reason we hardly ever work for them. We've done a few jobs for one particular builder and we were on strict payment terms with him, basically if he didn't pay what was owed on the Friday then we wouldn't be...
Good morning guys,
I bought this neon sign for my cinema room to put above my arcade machines. I have the cinema controlled by Google voice command so that when I want to watch a movie I say the command and everything downstairs turns on ready.
This neon sign has a dimmer inline and it seems...

Hi, I would like to do some minor domestic electrical work while I am completing my NVQ level 2 in electrical installations. I have the 18th edition and part P qualifications as well as an NVQ level 2 in inspection and testing. However, I have read and heard from other electricians that you need...

So I have completed the NAPIT LCL level 3 in dwellings course, but from what I have figured NAPIT are ----, all I’m waiting for is the on site assessment, I was told on the phone that I can sign work off with this and then told at the college that I can’t, they said theyd speak but they never...
Hi, my question is. If I have an old wylex consumer unit with NB type 2 breakers (not 60898). Or let's say any CU for that matter. If it's protected by a 30ma RCD, will that pass the cert?. Or for example will the use of old mcbs not be up to standard. Thanks
Hi guys got a question to ask:
In Scotland for reference.
My mate recently bought a house and he is wanting me to do an EICR, new Consumer Unit, new shower and extra sockets. I have been qualified for almost 3 years, however I am not approved. My question is can I carry out this work myself...
Am I certified to sign off/do certs for a fuse board if I've completed my Level 2 and level 3 city and guilds (2365) electrical installation?
(have not done the regs yet or testing & inspection or the NVQ)
I visited here a while back, well over a year ago actually and I can't seem to get back at that post about a "Walk Don't Walk sign I bought 8 years ago in Paris" to update it so I have had to create this new one.
I would like to thank all those on this forum that gave me advice on how to...
I'm buying a house and have received the electrical testing certificate. There were two C1's and a C2 identified, all very easy fixes even for an amateur DIYer, the problem I have is that the electrics were condemned for this reason and so the busbar was removed from the consumer unit. This also...

Hello everyone,
First post here. Glad this forum exists, any professional feedback would be much appreciated.
I am trying to build a better Go Hogs sign on my roof (see attached pic). It was visible from across town and pretty cool. Previously we used PVC, and outdoor LED lights strung...
Hi, an NICEIC registered electrician is refusing to sign off his own work because I told him about an RCD intermittently tripping. He says he's willing to come out and test the wiring but if the tripping wasn't caused by him (e.g. builder trapped a wire somewhere, faulty oven or moisture...
Hi all, im a fully qualified electrician but have a full time maintenance job, i normally have one or two jobs to do for myself or family, usually notifiable work, currently signed on with napit. Im having to pay around 800 a year to keep it all going, seems silly when im only filling out a...

I'm a qualified domestic installer BS7671 and have been doing electrical installations for work, but not registered with ELECSA or NICEIC
