Hi hope everyone had a good christmas, how long does it take you for example to connect a double socket, a ceiling rose or a four gang switch?
a silly question i know but the company I am employed by, only seems to emphasise speed what are your thoughts on this as it is really bothering me at the moment.
Double socket - 2-3mins
Find and fit grommet ,sleeve cpc. install link to back of box , screw socket back whoops stripped thread and screw snapped. remove old screw re thread box test and document 30mins
Dryline double socket - 5mins find box has been held in with pollyfilla which promptly falls out .remove box cable falls in cavity, retrieve cable polly fill box back in wait a few mins connect socket put thumb in new pollyfilla when screwing back find socket will not be secure remove socket cut new hole find cable is to short to reach get in van and go home
Ceiling Rose - 5-10mins find cover has been painted and is stuck hit with hammer to free it breaking it in the process,find rose is held up with one screw disconnect rose get distracted by question from householder lose switch wire because no cables are sleeved, find cpc`s are all different length and twisted together untwist them one breaks off,try to gain length on cable to restrip find it is clipped to joist above. find and mark switch wire reconnect and sleeve cables switch on and mcb trips trace cable and realise that that was not the switchwire after all,reconnect test and leave 40mins
Four gang switch - 10-15mins
