Quality mate well done

Think we need to hound these agencies and make them start realizing we are not a bunch of muppets:iamwithstupid:

Can divert to Southampton and will give you a fiver for the fuel

to be fair, i spoke to one of their staff, only 20 mins ago and he agreed with me that for £25 all you had time for was a quick visual. he said he would get the " consultant " concerned to investigate. apparently, £25 is what the client was prepared to pay. and that client, apparently is a housing association. so everything will be in mini-trunk with surface accessories, multi=adaptors everywhere, and a wylex rewireable with 1 or 2 plug-in MCBs.

If this a housing association then they need to ashamed of themselves.

As a test engineer myself i work it out to be the cheapest way

Recomended 15 mins per circuit... Most house . 2 rings . 2 lights . cooker. imersion/heating etc basic.

So 6 Circuits . = 1h 1/2 - 2 Min per test. £30 an hour ish . and then one hour at home which isnt stressfull to do paper work so £20 an hour = £80 minimum.

 

[telectrix]

15 minutes a circuit? what's your alter ego, flash gordon? takes more than 15mins to measure R1+R2.

Oh leave off hour and half. Have you ever tested social housing? I.e moved all the rubbish out the way, scraped all the grime off the cooker point, and the mould off the electric shower.
