    Electrician Jobs Cornwall,TR11, EICR + Remedial Work, 2 Bed Holiday Let

    Happy to discuss history, but time for an Electrical appraisal and certification, in a two bed Holiday Let cottage, near Falmouth.

    Companies being charged for using subbies

    There is a 2020 development to note, but it does not apply to Self-Employed (at this point I am only offering general thoughts, not specific advice) The new rules are for those who who work under their own service company and only when they work for medium to large companies.

    what size of Armoured cable

    A note of caution, but I am very happy to be advised as well. The whole notion of supplying power to a metal box, is a challenge in its own right. We have this at our club, where old containers get brought in as work shops and they are quite specialised to sort out the electrical safety.

    12v In A Caravan - Qualified Person?

    We kept the local fire brigade busy with a 12v DC fire that got out of hand and ruined a boat! That was a dead short across a battery, so plenty of heat generated. Good practice is important! Regards

    12v In A Caravan - Qualified Person?

    All Electrical Systems are covered, but risk of electrical shock/injury etc. can vary by many factors including voltage. 12v DC has its own risks that need to be understood, but rarely does anywhere require qualifications. Regards

    BG Grid Switch cover screws

    Bit of a long shot We are missing the two screws that grip the face plate to a Grid Switch yoke, for a BG faceplate. Happens to be a 3 Gang one, all the rest is done. All nice shiny stainless finish any thoughts? Or anyone think they have a redundant one? Thank you

    New kitchen rewire using a new board

    Hello, may I suggest you think about what you want, as opposed to worrying about "how". Stick labels on where you need a socket, do you want doubles or singles, USB charging can be included. Think how the room is used and position, of bed, for instance. Bedside lockers by bed, with lamps...
