    How long before chasing payment?

    Maybe I've just been lucky, but I very rarely have an issue with customers paying, the vast majority have paid straight away or within a few days. However I'm still waiting for payment for an emergency call out I attended in early December. Without going into all the details, I got a call at...

    Nuisance tripping - faulty RCD?

    Had a real headache of a fault finding job which has left me scratching my head - RCCB on a split load board, supplying 3 circuits (shower, immersion and downstairs lights) constantly tripping. The frustrating thing about this was while it would sometimes trip within seconds, mostly it would...

    Customer not paying

    Anyone got any advice on what to do please? I'm owed nearly £400 for various work for a customer. The work included replacing light fittings and accessories, all of which I supplied. I also, soon after doing this work, did two EICRs for her. To cut a long story short she was very unhappy that...

    Appliances in single phase property damaged by 415v

    Got an emergency call out from a very worried old lady the other night - the power at her apartment had gone off and the kitchen light was smouldering badly. She'd been on the phone to the DNO (Northern Powergrid), they were telling her to turn the main switch off but she couldn't understand and...

    EICR - Landlord wants to change CU and retest after EICR

    I've done a few EICRs for a landlord and the latest one of his I've given an unsatisfactory, I've advised changing the CU - existing one is old and cracked, earthing needs upgrading and no RCD amongst other things. He has a "handyman" who I often work alongside with and seems a bit overly keen...

    NAPIT Certification Scheme How long after assessment to go live?

    I decided to join Napit and my first assessment was end of October. Everything was in order but not heard anything since and status on my login still says "pending assessment." Tried emailing my assessor but not had a response. Anyone with experience of Napit know if this is a normal time span...

    EICR for less than £100?

    Quoted a landlord £100 for one today on a small flat, thought I was being a bit cheap but he's got a few he wants me to do over the next few months. Got the work but he said it's a bit more than he usually pays which took me by surprise as I genuinely think that's cheap and can't believe anyone...

    Replacing downlights cost?

    Hi, would really appreciate some thoughts on this. Customer has asked me to change all 40 downlights in his flat (yes, 40) from ELV halogen to LED. Some transformers had failed so agreed to change over to GU10. I said I could either change the lamp holders and keep the existing fittings or...

    Megger FormFiller - 18th ed. forms?

    Thought I'd have a look at Megger's free certification software FormFiller yesterday. Downloaded it no problem and was quite impressed with it, seems user friendly and straightforward to use. Then I noticed the forms are still 17th edition! Anyone know if they have a newer version with 18th...
