Discuss BS 7671: 18th Edition in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
I think I'm going to become a plumber, the rewards are far greater.
£2500 to change a boiler, £800 for boiler £200 allowed for bits £1500 for me.
The slightest drip from a ceiling is like a plumbers lottery numbers coming in. How many times have I had customers tell me, oh we've been getting a tingle from the sink, dishwasher - you name it - for ages, and they have kids too!It's just getting stupid out there, There is always something in the pipeline to take what bit of money you earn, I can't stand working with water that's why I have never gone down that rout, But far play to you that do.

I don't know how, particularly in the domestic market, how electricians have been beaten down to be so low, and still have to put up will all the edition and amendment crap at such great cost to us.
I have been reading that thread and can't believe there is so much bickering between people regarding how it should be done. Bring it up to full scope job done.
Think that's why "Gas Safe" can get away with charging so much, It's either done to reg's or it don't get done and I believe it is policed much better by the governing body unlike Elelcsa - NICEIC - NAPIT - Stroma and the rest, Who just want there pound of flesh each year.

It's advertised better, more known about and pretty much a legal requirement. The public are also aware of it. Is it policed better? Not at all. Try reporting a poor/dodgey gas installation that's not in your own home - you pretty much can't, they don't want to know either.
