In a chatty mood.... So just wondered if anyone had had any really difficult customers...Or the customer that calls you up to do the work and then they know better once you've arrived.
Had one recently, Customer wants a downflow heater put in 2 of their bathrooms. Had a look around the property at available options etc.... mentioned putting isolator/FCU switches in and they said they didn't want any, I obviously told them that they have to have something somwhere, They said they didn't want any walls channeling out etc, and surface mount boxes would ruin the look of the bathroom (which I must say was very nice, floor to ceiling tiles)
Whilst I was looking at consumer unit, I noticed 32A MCB labelled as 'Loft sockets', So went to investigate, and it's correct someone has run a ring in the loft.
So I said the neatest way was to do it, would be to put another RCD socket on the loft ring, hole down through ceilings and just plug the heaters in up there....... Bearing in mind they have a pull down loft ladder and the loft is fully boarded and has lights, Their reply was "are you allowed to do that and it will be a right pain if the fuse in the plug goes"........just couldn't win...
