A Rather Obvious Forged EICR

[westward10]

I think the problem is an electrician can cover different levels of competence and you can always spot an electrician whos level of skill is domestic in a commercial world. Not that I am comparing one with another but there is one of those Nagey videos of him fitting SWA cables to a cable tray installed incorrectly and it looks appalling. A case of stick to what you know.

The Fault lies obviously with the idiot who contributed to the mess and the Builder enlisting a non licensed Electrician. The client should have requested his credentials prior to the commencement of work.

On Major sites in Aus. You have to provide an Electrical license and sometimes (A new thing appearing to stop things like this) a CV/Resume to check on your background to ensure you are capable.

I’m not knocking house bashers but Especially in Heavy Industrial and Mining they used to take them on as T/A’s (Mates)

---- work... terrible I’ve seen better in 3rd world countries.

Knowing your limitations as a sparks is equally as important as knowing what you can do...
Just the other day I was asked to quote for a job that requires a lot of reworking and installing new micc in a 1940s built chapel. I have declined as it’s beyond my level.
If it was one or two micc that need altering I ‘might’ have given it a go. But this job will require 40-50 alterations and additions all in micc.

Oh and I should add I was the second sparks to decline the job. The first guy also said he wasn’t confident working on that amount of micc cables.

It’s been a long time since I worked on Pyro (MICC) the old sparks I worked with (Jurassic sparks) he bought me a set of MICC tools... Potting tool. Crimper and Stripper then took them away from me. I had to strip it with side cutters and a screwdriver. Use a set of pliers as a potting tool. His motto was do it the hard way and everything becomes easier. The same was with steel conduit. We used a block of wood with a slanted hole.

Whereabouts is the job and how so9n does it need doing? Sounds like it's up our street but our waiting list is pretty long at the moment.

I think it’s just outside Frimley. I did think about asking on here if anyone fancied.
If they contact me again I will pass the details onto here.

No worries, that's not too far from me at all.
The majority of my work is West end theatres, so a lot of very old installations with plenty of pyro.

Rough

No other words for it

I would want to take everything out and re-do the lot

You need to insert ‘as a badgers arse’ after ‘rough’
