Smoke alarm problems

[Octopus]

Hum, no not really, if you turn the whole lot off, all you will then need is a small screw driver, and a good pair of steps.

I'd like to know how the original sparky could claim they worked ok!

As would I mate, I have the original electricity installation certificate because it was a complete rewire. Luckily everything else has been brill.

Thanks all for all your help, I will post the results soon

smokes must have been wired by a blonde on friday afternoon.

By a fiery ginger actually

All done, all electrics back on, and alarms fitted, green lights on and working as they should.... for now.

Thanks to all those who helped, even if it was just simple pointing out errors etc, its much appreciated and saved a man, who is technically unemployed (writing up my thesis for PhD) an outlay to a new spark who could have charged me the world.....

Many thanks

any spark worth his weight in donkey poo would have only charged a call-out fee, say £30 -£35. but, there are sharks out there would have turned it into a half day's work and charged over a ton. good job it wasn't a plumbing problem.LOL.

Haha, dont get me started, had some plumbing needing doing, basically sink washing machine and dish washer plumbed in, and a shower to be finished, glass surround to be put on and shower unit to be installed. Guy said a day rate and would take 4 days... I said, ok, as just needed doing, he said he was off on holiday so could he bring a mate, half the amount of days same rate.

I said no probs, turns out, guy he brings is a mate of a mate, he does shower in two hours and then gets the fella to hurry up, in total paid for one day as they were done by 12.....

The mate of the mate is now doing work for people I know, and doing a great job.... quick, talented and always in demand, the other guy if i rang up now he would be free to work tomorrow no doubt
