A day in the life of a Homeserve electrician......

[thomo27]

1hr 5 mins to change a socket and 2 hr 5 to change a db

I employed a homeserve decorator once, he made a right mess!

2 hours 5 mins to replace a fuse box, test the installation and complete all the paperwork.

...And drive to the next job don't forget!

Can it be done? I'm thinking if it were real easy, Everthing was perfect, no van parked 15 mins away, MEB easy, no remote isolation problems, no faults, plugs hidden behind apps etc, and a 1 bed flat with 1 ring, 1 lighting circ and a cooker...

In the real world you're more likely to spend over an hour just to get the tools in and get the old board off the wall.

At least this time to do pre testing before touching anytihing

This backs up my other post at http://www.diynot.com/forums/electrics/diy-is-not-an-electrician-no-sir-not-at-all.293959/ - no point in me learning all this complex maths'n'phsyics stuff, when I can pay a full blown Homeserve electrical bod £37.28 to do a complete rewire of every house in the street in less that 40 minutes. Man, this guy is fast

It is known that he said "let there be light" but did he also say "let there be power sockets "
