Taking money for certification - customer dont wanna pay!

[Balarizaaf]

I am so confused! Anyone care to summarise, I have read the whole thread and I have a few questions...

Whats the electricians handbook?

Why wouldn't you put a 30p fuse on the boiler?

Was the faulty boiler why she wasn't paying you or was she not paying you for the Certs?

Surely you have a good hard copy of your quote so if she refused to pay you, you would have a argument in court?

What is an inspection camera? Sounds like I'm missing out on some reveloutionary technology here :-/

She didnt want pay because some1 told her all kitchen is gonna burn because of me so she took some other electrician for testing. The other electrician told her I am not allowed to charge her for testing and cert on my installation which I included in quote. Few days later we had a meeting and she said testings are fine, everything is ok, but boiler got broken and she was told its because of me as I put 13amp fuse in it... So yes, I was responsible for not ensuring its safety but it could brake with 3amp anyways + I didnt cause its faulty. So she payd me yesterday and everything is fine now.

Are you certain that a 3 amp fuse wouldn't have prevented whatever damage occurred? There is a good reason why 3 amps is stipulated in all manufacturers instructions.

It happens that I also fix washing machines, cathering service, laundrettes so with hand on my heart I can say that if a 100W pump would take 3amps, it would burn anyways....

BTw this inspection camera is awesome, it has light, HD quality and I paid only 60 quids for it!

You cannot say what would have happened with a 3A fuse instead of the 13A you fitted unless you can replicate the exact circumstances to test it.

And even then you have not fitted the fuse protection as directed by the manufacturer of the boiler so you could automatically become #1 scapegoat if no other reason for the fault can be found.

And by not following the manufacturers instructions you have not complied with BS7671, and unless you have noted this in the deviations on the certificate then you have not filled out the certificate correctly.

The OP's grammar is not anything I have ever experienced in Scotland. Trust me most Scots can spell and punctuate correctly, guess he;s drunk too much of the orange stuff

A bizarre, confusing and illogical thread?!

I think the op is Polish. If that's the case, then it's pretty good.

Thanks, I didnt want to spoil the thread with the fact that I am foreigner:/ Sorry for bad punctuation but I am not good in using it so I dont do it at all... I am aware my posts are as easy to read as Hamlett's poem, but punctuation here is 180grades rotated to the one in my 2nd language;[ anyways, thanks for tip. Will pay more attention to it now!

I think he said Polish in a previous post. But then, I think he also said that it was someone else using his account. It has been a pretty confusing thread tbh.

My first view of this mammoth thread and my own conclusion, looking closely at his choice of words,many unlikely to be used in a second language written reply

It leaves me with the impression that he has done one excellent job of a wind up on a grand scale
He is no more Polish than I am
