Hi all.
am a newly qalified domestic spark, all my past experience is on auto electrics! however i am hoping to start up on my own as i cant find employment at this time, i have just been asked by a friend to rewire 2 down stairs lights and 1 bathroom light, aswel as rewire a ciruit for a dishwasher, i dnt is just the wire for that circuit not the hole ring mains! am confidant in doin all this, am just unsure wot the qoute of this would cost! because this is a mate il charge him just for materials! am defined scope Part P with 17th! i am goin in for Full scope in 2 weeks. how will i go about certifing this? will i need to get it tested and inspected to?

hope any one can help me on this 1! am new, wot can i say

thanks for takin time to read this to

I normally price per socket outlet or light fitting etc ie. £55 per socket, £65 per light fixture. then I always add a little extra for my night in the pub, just pays for the beers......

hi mate we charge £40 per point sockets/spurs, and £25 a light point. for white plastic thats on adverage but again without seeing it...
and yes you can register through your local council but it will not be cheap cheap cheap.
on a new circuit or extedtion you need the cable sizes,Zs,R1+R2 and fuse rating and type. maybe some supply charisteristics also.

hi, id just like to add to this as i have just spoken to some one that works for the nic qualified inspecters! and they have never heard of defined and full scope Part P! i am kind of gettin told a range of diffrent things! would it be possible for one of u nice people to clarify wot it means i can or cant do with full scope Part P!

Many Thanks to all of you!!!

Have you read Doc P?

Anyhoo, defined scope is for kitchen/bathroom fitters etc who do electrical work as a part of their normal trade.

EG, relocating and installing additional sockets as part of a kitchen refit.

Full scope is for electricians who carry out ALL domestic work.

hi jason thanks for that, i have read part p doc, its just when some one who works for NIC is telling me hes never heard of it, and i no hes bin doing this for years with hes own company! its just something really i cant explain to some one with so much experience and noz (NO SWEARING) loads more then me! am a beginer! i think i will go over everything i have regarding Part P regs tho!

From a personal point of view ElectroManUK, I'd find it much easier to take you seriously if your posts made even a casual attempt at correct spelling and grammar. Maybe I'm missing the point. Maybe it's trendy to spell in a haphazard "texty" sort of way, and maybe I'm just too much of an old fogey to "get it", but I can't imagine that you'd send out quotes or invoices with spelling like that, so why post to the forum in that manner? My apologies if you're dyslexic, as obviously that would be a completely fair and reasonable excuse. I genuinely don't want to be insulting... As I say; maybe I'm missing the point!

Hear hear, I'm glad you had the guts to say what we all must have been thinking....

Hi Shedbuiler, Thank you for your honist.
I do have slight dyslexia, however i am just so used to texting frirends and chatting online in that "Small text" way. I am aware of the exact grammer needed in formal quotes and invoices. This would be a subject where i would concentrate on, and you are right; "why post to the forum in that manner". Apologize. This was just a quick question, and i thought most people on here would understand every day "Small text".

Thanks agian for your honisty.

I don't think it's a case of people not being able to understand it, but more the fact that when you are asking a question from a lot of professional people you will come across as very immature. So you will find it difficult to get the response you require as people have already had to decipher what you have written...

Text speak even it texts makes me cringe, and I'm not one of the old fogeys either, I'm only just past 30!! Well, I hope that doesn't make me one of the old fogeys...

was not being insulating was recording my view

Sorry mate all qualified sparks i know are working
Im doing my domestic installers assessment in 3wks if i fail i will throw all my equipment out as i should NOT be doing electrical installs etc if i didnt know how to do everything ! dont worry i have 20yrs plus exp as a qual spark ! just have to pay the ransom con to confirm YEP i know what im doing lol
It does worry me a couple of people who have passed the onsite assessment and ask questions to make you think should they have passed ? NOT refferanced to every DI !
Regards
Kung.
