    Prices

    Can anyone explain "mark up" on electrical components? I understand a little for petrol and time (although I expect you have lots of the standard stuff in the van anyway). what sort of % would you charge for markup? :roll:

    Part P review?

    It doesnt get round the fact that as a competent DIYer, following the regs and testing as appropraite, it would cost me a fortune to notify. So I shant be bothering.

    Approved Documennt Part P

    Or, how about more manslaughter/GBH charges for those completing work that is unsafe and causing injury? More stick, less carrot. Its quite simple. Anyone, either registered or unregistered can complete the paperwork, it all has to be submitted free of charge to the LABC (who is paid for...

    I would suggest that you need to get your house water supply pipework earthed if not already so... If you have an RCD on the fault circuit, you will know straight away which area of your circuitry is at fault, as the RCD will trip. As a temporary measure, if you can find a decent earth, a...
