    Minimum age for 17th edition....

    Its a bit of a different one...he is waiting to begin an apprenticeship with SSE in September,but working for me at the moment. I would like to get him his 17th so he can keep the qualification. I'm happy to pay for an external provider, but think that his age could be a problem.

    Wiring a ceiling rose

    I disagree. He wired it wrong to begin with. The fuse or MCB blew. He then went away and read up on how to refit.

    Wiring a ceiling rose

    The switch will be blown thats all. The terminations at the fitting appear to be now correct. With the power off (all the power) replace the switch with a new one, check the cables for damage. If there is no damage replace fitting and re-energise. This sort of replacement is well within the...

    Splitting 10 mm T&E feed in a space that won't be accessible - is there a way?

    Could be reading this wrong but....why dont you make the junction underneath the cabinet kickboards. You could access the joint by removing the board.

    Pat testing. How many are you expected to do?

    I was thinking the same. I take a morning to do about 20 items. Not sure my pat tester would work that fast if I had all the items in front of me!
