How do you know you are at the last light?

Are you testing R1 + R2 at each light until you get the highest figure then assuming that is the end of the circuit? If so may as well do Zs at each light as Spinlondon says.

I never trust 2 or 3 houses that are the same, to assume the last light is in the same place.

the last light wont have a loop out thats how you know its a last light

Sparky 1502 please do not think I am having a pop and I am grateful you posted but to do 3-5 a day would be a logistics nightmare ie making sure all 5 occupant are at home plus you and a partner would have to punch out 1 flat every 1 hour 20 minutes is right ?

Also once again thanks for your input

i did 4 periodics today 2 flats and 2 houses. houses have 4 circuits unless the have a shower circuit, but its mainly 2 lighting circuits a cooker circuit and a ringmain. the 3 flats had 3 circuits a cook circuit a ring main and a lighting circuit. these are local authority propertys so they are all wired in much the same way. the last light is always in the same place and all sockets are in the same place. in this day and age time is money. so no r1 and r2 its calculated at the end. i do 4 a day without pushing myself. i understand that when your doing a private periodic it pays to take extra care and you charge something like £20 per circuit. the council dont pay anything like £20 a circuit but the work is always their so its always going to be a catch 22
