plumbers

[davidcaulfield]

Just doing a CU change and there's no continuity on the rig main which does down stairs upstairs and kitchen all on one circuit. The plumber had recently added underfloor heating to this circuit in a bathroom.

I asked him for his results and he went mental at me saying he didn't need a certificate because it was already there.

All I wanted was his continuity results to see if he cause the fault or it was already there

He hasn't tested the mat! The continuity is lost on live neutral and cpc!!! I can't put he whole house on a 20amp. It might be a fault from years ago but he should have tested it before adding more load! He hasn't certificated or notified and he said well I can get an electrician to come do a certificate quickly and there won't be a problem lol

Thats a non spark for you. How long have you been in the business?

 

[telectrix]

either
1. it was never a ring. 2. someone has split it doing DIY. 3. plumber has split it coz. he ain't got a clue if it isn't poo (poetry as well today)

 

[lmdawson]

Just out of curiosity, are you one of these 5 week wander electricians? no offence intended.

 

[telectrix]

if the ring cannot be reinstated, you could convert to 2 x 20A radials.

2 radials on 2 20 amp breakers, but I would definately get to the bottom of it and inspect the Bummers wiring LOL, thats worth a laugh for sure.

and have the wethead there while you pull his "electrical work" to bits.

Looking back through this thread - what is actually the question? Or, are you just telling us what's happened today...which we all do

Let the forum know what the problem was, and how you rectified it

Onanist. Tell him you connected your ch boiler to the gas supply and watch his reaction.

Hard to tell. Make up your own mind:

green and yellow cable

new to this... NICEIC inspection soon

@Trev. Excellent idea. I'll remember that one (fitted own gas).

Wander straight out of the training centre into peoples' homes ?

 

[davidcaulfield]

I wasn't asking any advice I was just letting people no how **** my day was going. He started ranting about not need a certificate. In the end he rang back and apologised. I later ripped down his lovely new ply wall and found a 2.5mm leg of this ring in connectors taped up floating around inside the wall Lol. A nice maintenance free joint box to reconnect it to the underfloor heating. Rang him to tell him and he wants me to do some work for him this week lol

P.s. am I a 5 week electrician???? Was that meant for me?

 

[varilite]

2 radials wedged into one breaker probably

In that case Join the other end together and voila a ring!
