Good man, I have been tempted to do it for a while, I've got a local plumber who will sponsor me through it so that I can do boiler repairs for him along with doing the controls side of it as I do now.

Yeah I'm doing the portfolio part with a local firm who I do wiring for. I have been thinking of doing it for ages so bit the bullet and jumped on the course.

Another string to the bow and all that.....I'm not interested in plumbing just boilers/heating and becoming gas safe registered. I'm also doing the G3 unvented course in a few weeks. The training books are a few quid though :goofy:

I am actually interested in the plumbing side of the heating systems too. But the more involved parts of it like connecting multiple boilers via the different possible headers and suchlike

I'm just bumping some threads in the Electrical Forum, don't mind me while I do this, you don't have to respond to them. Although if they are still current topics, and you do wish to reply, you're welcome to. Keep the thread on-topic and make sure you stick to the forum rules though.

Some joints I found in our kitchen. I thought the junction box buried in plaster was bad but then found some lovely 'twist it on and bury it in plaster under the wallpaper' ones. Luckily they had been disconnected years ago. There was tape round the twisted joints at least. Also one of the boxes had a nicely crafted laminate cover over the front Lol

I got a call from a customer who was moving house. They wanted their 1950s range cooker disconnecting so they could take it with them. I asked them when they had the feed installed once I had picked my jaw back up. About a year ago apparently. Lets have a run down:

• Cable used was a 10mm 4 core SWA stripped down to the bedding. No cable supports used at any point. Cable enters the metal cooker switch with no grommet.
• Circuit taken from the incoming meter tails. No way of isolation apart from the DNO fuse, no overcurrent protection. Doesn't matter though as it went through a RCD so it must be safe. A spare way was available, as was an unused 6mm cooker circuit that was presently being used as a socket next to the cooker.
• All meter and fuse seals intact. This must have been dabbed in LIVE !!!
• No testing, certificate, or notification.

I was shown the guy's card left with the customer. Electrician with 25 years experience apparently. What an absolute joke.
