agreed but for a sole trader on his own its questionable

im the worlds most passive person when it comes to work. i was unaware that the sparky is not full time and has a day job and was accomodating when he told me days that he works he wont be at my place working, then he went to an evening job and fell through the celing (what he tells me) anbd did...

im assuming its a dual RCD he said he got me the better expensive one and not being a sparky i dont know which is which and took his word for iti will take a pic of it when im at the house next thats the funny thing about contracts i said i want a written scedule signed before work begins...

Sorry i ment to say 10 WAY CU with RCDs/MCBs originally i suggested to sparky to put boiler on own and he said not needed just put on its own spur from downstairs ring the garden plugs was me being paranoid but again that was scrapped for normal ones i havnt updated the list from what...

looks like he is telling me fibs, prob to make it look as if he is paying loads to do my job and make him look like a saint in regards to the price he quoted me im paying £2200 for a complete rewire and new RCD and all parts, labour, and NICEIC Certificate at the end the only thing not...

im just going by what i was told, seeing as you are a member of teh scheme is that £3k got anything to do with the fees involved in becomming a competent person either way for me its all in the charge im paying the sparkys just annoying these things get told to me after the work has started

Sorry thats iphone auto type for ya LOL The sparky said that the actual certificates that are given to the customer and to register with the authorities, so that they can give the notification of work carried out cost is £3000 so he has not registered for that. and will be calling another guy...

The only things that's annoyed me with this whole work is first the guys told me they are NICEIC registered. Then half way in they say that although they are the Cerys cost £3000 so some one else will do the testing and issue the cert. I agreed saying no probs just get it all done as they where...

Tell you the truth I wish I could find just as fastidious builders as the replies on this thread at least I would get some real good work done I'm still waiting on my sparks since November to finish a whole house rewrite which is starting to just drag on and on. And only today they hit me...

Well in that case this info sheet still refers to zone 3 https://www.dropbox.com/s/zl6a45dxzlye2js/informationonzones1.pdf And it's not pre 2008

Lets agree to disagree and move on back to topic

The old goats still refer to it as zone 3. It still is the same thing as dimensions and area sizes not changed just the name

[/url] The link you quote shows a yellow "outside zone" that is what is referred to as zone 3

Oh it's not that but I would be reluctant to give advice on anything that could potentially kill someone. And all I was looking for is advice. The work will be done by professionals and I would understand if anyone refused to give me advice if they thought I was going to do the work as would I...

thats what a read too for me to do this it would cost me soooo much as a new run to the RCD would need to be made, walls need chasing, carpets upturned, floor boards need lifting and then a MCB possibly needs installing as my RCD is full for a 12v SELV all i need to do is use the current...
