[TaffyDuck]

Aplogies if this thread has been done before.

Resident "handymen" who have been adding bodges for years and customers who don't supply any food or tea.

Dirty would be clients giving your quote to another to see if they can do better. Total ******s.

also giving your quote to another firm and saying do it for that price and the job is yours after you have already beaten their quote!!!

Builders saying: We will install the lighting ring....

 

[Kiers1970]

Clients who ask: What will you do with all that dust/ plasterwork under the floorboards, that was there before you lifted them.

Builders saying: We will install the lighting ring....

must be intending to smother cables in itchy-poo. allowing for de-rating.

More a case of what they have not done, like label the distribution board.

I couldn't agree more to this suggestion. 2 today completely unmarked - 1 of which the customer had the cert listing all the circuits and a nice "tick" against circuits identified.

With most of us using electronic certificates and mobiles with cameras these days maybe its time for the EIC, on CU changes to include a photo of the complete CU with circuits labelling in place.
