    Those IP rated exterior consumer units referred to are not fit for purpose IMHO. Second meter box for me

    Testing software.

    NICEIC software is pants and too expensive. I've used Easycert for years.

    Solar installations roof work

    Yes. I work with an MCS accredited company. They do the design and installation of the PV and I do the cable work. In reality I often help with the installation also - testing panels and then helping to pass them up on to the roof. I subcontract to them.

    Does this immersion require an RCD?

    what are the instructions saying for this tank? the primary element is usually the bottom one and the top one is a 'top up' - based on economy type tariffs. Its a simple circuit so unless there is some form of controller in circuit and the thermostat is set then it should work?

    How to get contracts and work for a newly qualified electrician

    I can attest to that having been recently stung big time by a customer. Always the ones you don't suspect that get you. Also hit a deer the other year whilst driving. Wrecked the van (but tasted good... allegedly). OP - Cory put up a Youtube video yesterday about starting a business. That...

    UK Metal consumer units

    I’d be more concerned that the landlord CU has one rcd protecting 5 circuits in the common areas. When that trips everything will go off. The grey pvc cable between the Henley blocks and isolator is poor. The installer has used tape to cover over single insulated conductors.

    Understanding the Construction industry Scheme (CIS)?

    I'm just required to note on my invoice 'CIS reverse charges applicable" The main contractor deducts the 20% and it goes towards your tax. I then get a statement from the main contractor each quarter. The accountant then deals with it on the tax return. Been doing it like this for years now with...

    KSR lighting

    I've used some of their lights on a commercial job (not downlight tho). Found them no better or worse than anything else. Ferg, If it is for downlights, and you are after integrated units I would go with Halers. Which wholesaler are you moving to? The one by screwfix or the one down by the...

    What do I need for up coming 2391-52 practical exam

    The course provider will supply the certificate(s) to complete. You should be allowed to use your own tools and MFT. Good luck

    Have I wired this solar correctly.

    I'd not be fitting an inverter in the attic. You need a Bi directional PD.

    EICR/ Amendment

    If the OP is referring to the Tech Talk at CEF live the 2 speakers were not NICEIC employees/representatives. Darren Staniforth long since left the NICEIC and I'm not sure that Dave Austin has been either. 2 senior members from the IET were also on stage. From what was said by the 4 presenters I...

    UK Help understand the EICR please

    Neither BPG4 (industry accepted) nor NAPIT guide (Not totally Industry accepted) recommend a code C3 simply if it's just because the CU is plastic. There has to something else which is and issue, combined with it being plastic to command a coding.

    UK Help understand the EICR please

    Not sure I am missing something. Why should the CU be a C3? Is the CU located under a wooden staircase or in a position where it is in the sole means of escape in the event of a fire?
