thats what the plumber wanted to do at this house! :)

thanks mate thats a great help

I am currently at a job where the plumber is using plastic pipe as the mains water to 3 separate flats in the property and then all plastic pipe for the rest of the system. Where do i stand with bonding the mains water in a situation like this then people? any advice/ knowledge on the subject...

beat me :cry:

a wylex switch fuse rated at 60A should do the trick i think

yeah you can do this but the electrician will need to take the same sized cable as the cooker into a fuse spur then a 2.5mm down to a socket which will be fused at 13A. Depending on the kitchen this could be a simple job but on the other hand may take him a little longer than expected :)

lol fair play. thanks again all night night :shock:

No i havn't but something as the side work is getting more busy i am planning to sort out. Why did you up it to 2 mill are you scared of yourself or just accident prone? :)

thats fine what you say is true no hard feelings. thanks for all the advice everyone i will get it all sroted and wrapped up this weekend :D :D :D

course not, i performed all the tests to 7671 but as i am not a certified i wrote down all results but i cant self certify. I have seriously checked my work there is nothing wrong but i understand your worry but its ok :) I just need it "signed off"

no just the shop. there is a flat above but that had nothing to do with the installation i touched. There is 2 separate supplies for the shop and the flat

My company is a full member i am yet to ask the boss if he will put a certificate on the work for me! lets hope otherwise ill have to get the council out :(

thanks all now i've got a little bit better hand to bring to the table :)

I have been doing a private job for a shop owner and now the job is completed (25 new flourescents and new ring) test certificate coming but a friend in work swears that you do not need to test a shop.... i disagree, its just a different form needed that the domestic installation NICEIC forms...

My boss wants me to go onto the call out rota so one weekend a month i would be on call. He said i will get x amount just for being on call and then if i actually do get called out i will get "Z amount" on top of that. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same situation and how much you...

I said to the man that for the extra cost it is definitely worth it as they are cheap in comparison to the lights but you know how these people can be... I will tell him no regulations but as a percausion to getting his ass sued then its worth it Thanks

I have been to see a job in a small shop today and the customer would like new flourescents fitted which is fine but he does not want to spend any more money on the lights than he has to so wants to opt out of having diffusers. He also wondered if there are any regs of health and safety...

In my experience i do not think the box cutters work very well, for the time they take to make any sort of impression (even on breeze block) you may aswell use hammer and bolster. I would suggest practice and you will get faster :D

I was talking to a JIB representative a couple of weeks ago and he said that the rules on part P have now been amended... If you are a qualified electrician you can do work in someone's house or shop etc as long as you give a certificate (like the one in the back of the regs, doesn't need to...
