    Chasing cable in a ceiling

    INDEED YOU DID - I was a little peeved by your "Leave it he has changed it attitude" But noticed you are a "Top poster" so backed off and left you too it lol. What I was trying to add to this thread was the "What if" factor and to open the op's eyes into why these regulations are there - what...

    Chasing cable in a ceiling

    Ok here is some light reading for you. As I said Bs7671 is referred to often in court to show compliance or non compliance with the EAW act 1989....Which IS an act of parliament which IS therefore a law. Go and check with the guys who write the rules over at the iet forums. They have had this...

    Does this pricing for kitchen sound right? Jobs in London

    Seems sound as you are using higher quality stuff. If you were using cheapo then id reduce the skts and general points to around £50 per point. Always a decent idea now to tott up materials cost + your guarantee % markup then work out how long it will take you and multiply by your hourly...

    Policing now and then

    When I was a lad we had plenty beat bobbies. They all knew the kids and all knew yer dad too lol. If any of us had ever given any of the police even the slightest bit of lip or had given them reason to need a word with us then mum and dad were like the local sheriff with us as the target lol...

    Chasing cable in a ceiling

    If you want to know if it will work and will it kill you/anyone then the answer is yes it will work and in all probability nobody will die. It does come down to it's your house so do as you wish within our laws. If the law declares that you can amend or extend a simple circuit without any...

    Solutions for Surface mount to conduit.

    Actually we used to fit loads of these when needed. More when you have 50-100mm gap between back box and finished wall. Weather that is because of plaster or over enthusiastic laborers doing mad chases or even the odd occasion where you get industrial type partition walls which can be well in...

    Is it right?? - Police officer still working for police and doing electrical and plumbing work

    I think the op is looking at this issue all wrong. The fact that the other "electrician" is also employed in another job is irrelevant. The relevant part here is he is doing notifiable work without the ability to notify. If the scheme sparks in your local area stuck together and refused to...

    Correct Electrical Installation Instructions and Regulations

    Quite so....I suppose the EIC that would "obviously" have accompanied this new installation would have diligently pointed out any concerns and deviations from relevant regulations that he/she spotted. Or maybe it was a driveby EIC lol where the poor sod/sap that has signed this has never even...

    Correct Electrical Installation Instructions and Regulations

    Not just NICEIC I see on their facebook page pics of their vans ect - It also shows "trustmark" approved through ECA although they are all under one umbrella now. As above though NICEIC would be my first point of contact after trying through the electrical contractors or builders first. Had a...

    Girl / lady electricians....?

    Not seen a fully qualified one yet BUT way back in the 80's we did have a female apprentice in a contracting outfit I worked for in north lanarkshire in scotland. I left before she got out of her time but from what I saw and when I had her working with me she was at least a year ahead of her...

    Brexit fallout

    Where is Nick Clegg and the real Lib Dems lol, I would bet most would be happier with a coalition with them now. But again their stance on Europe would make huge problems for the brexit vote.....Otherwise that mob probably would add some stability in a coalition. The more I sit back and look at...

    Would a swimming pool and/or DIY work put off electricians?

    Putting this bluntly - IF YOU have a swimming pool and have done some electrical work in the pool/over the pool or even within a defined distance from the pool (found in BS 7671) then you either need to have it checked and tested by a properly qualified and registered electrician, If you fail to...
