if there is enough cable spare, nip a bit off the end and take it to a wholesalers and ask them

also depends on the length of cable, 4mm cable will carry 32amps but most sparks put 6mm in for cookers to be on the safe side and allow for bigger cookers being installed later

Also depends if you are trying to build up a business, some folks are good to have get your name around for you

I have- on quotes and invoices "Payment terms (unless previously agreed) are 7 days from invoice date, Any costs incurred in collecting overdue accounts will be passed to the customer, interest will also be charged on overdue accounts" I send out one reminder if necessary, with a copy...

Sounds about right, I usually charge £25/hour or £180/day, the reason I charge a bit less per day is that I would prefer to do a full day at one place than run round doing 3 or 4 smaller jobs, and I used to find that if I did six hours, like you say, the day is gone from the point of starting...

If the wiring is that old the cables were probably notched into the joists floors yes but what you do with your skirt is up to you :lol:

When I finally get round to doing the site I'll do that, where abouts are you, I'm near Ulverston

Has the place had a PIR or are you doing one?, if you've found those problems I'd definately suggest the place needs checking out

try the M2 range from City Electrical factors, sounds like they are similar to the ones you are after

and are they going to be buried in plaster less than 50mm from the surface? Is that the distant sound of a can of worms being opened??

also depends if there's paving or concrete etc going over, cable should be on a bed of sand, with sand above too, and warning tape, ideally in a straight run with both ends visible so it's obvious where it is or a plan drawn showing where it is, and of course notified etc

Cheers all, guy comin round to do it, £80 for fire and boiler

I was a bit suprised, will make a few calls in the morning, ta for that

Hi folks, what would you think is around the right price to pay for servicing a Worcestester/Bosch greenstar 24 and a fire, I've started to look after the maintenance of a holiday let in Cumbria for a friend and he's asked me to sort it, been quoted £150, does that sound bout right?

I've been asked to do an install cert, told them that the only thing I could do was a PIR as I hadn't done the installation, brand new CU, (DZ or something like that, only ever seen them on e-bay) customer says "everything should be ok it's all been recently done!", so why the PIR I ask, the...

How much you save is down to how much of the job is labour, you'll still be paying VAT on materials

The PFC readings should be taken with all bonding in place where the Ze should be taken without, so the readings will vary depending on parallel earth paths etc

I was bored and started browsing............. it was new to me, I'd not read it before....................... :lol:

altering the main bonding can alter the earth loop impedence readings slightly by altering the resistance of parallel earth paths, and the prospective fault/short circuit currents, sounds like sparky A doesn't want to come back, but only he can alter one of his certs

From the pictures, I didn't see a 6A breaker on the RCD side so unless your lights are on a 32A breaker or similar, they are not RCD protected, I would recomend fitting a RCBO for that circuit as the best way to solve your problem, and you would then have one more circuit which complies with...
