    Smoke alarms/heat alarms

    Hi, I have just read a easier to understand regs page on the internet. It states that if the kitchen is open to the living area i.e. no door then there must be a heat sensor in the kitchen. I think this puts Nest out as they state that their alarm cannot be any closer than 3 metres to a source...

    Smoke alarms/heat alarms

    Possibly just me but i just get really insulted

    The only problem that I have with ''older'' apprentices in my experience is that they are very keen to learn, ask lots of questions about marketing and where the best place is to advertise, pricing etc. You then notice in the local paper them advertising in direct competition with you.

    If someone asks you to install one of these avoid if you can.

    To be honest I think it looks awful, that is my personal opinion of course. Yes and what a nightmare to keep clean still if you can afford to buy it in the first place you can afford to have it cleaned once a week.

    The attached are the installation forms from a Spanish electrician. They are for a rewire, board change and running a new cable from the meter to CU. Two pages versus our endless reams.

    Help! Advice please.

    Did the building contractor pay you or the householder. If the building contractor then he is liable as he employed you as a sub contractor and should take responsibility for the works carried out. Also assuming that you have liability insurance pass it on to your insurers, their legal...

    Spanish Practices / Hot tubs?

    Whilst on a Spanish theme I was supplying materials to a job in Spain for a local to fit and cert. I said do you want shaver sockets for the bathrooms, oh no we put a socket in bathrooms perfectly accepted. Since then another Spanish electrician has been in and confirmed it is O.K. So much for...
