Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

So GOOOD MORNING PEOPLE - WEATHER IS NICE TODAY IN STOKE. I'M THANKFUL IT'S FRIDAY, HAD A RUBBISH WEEK. THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

are the overhead lines still off, then?

I hope. We've been working on them today. The cherry picker is fixed (knackered relay that feeds the ecu) but the sites picker that we were using while ours was off sprung an oil leak. Threres a fitter here now repacing 2 hoses.

Spanner on the hydraulic line connections at the bottom would get it down.

Would have but the earth bar below the basket was in the way.

A little EICR test project Ive been working on. My money invested . 5 different testers . The differences in their "findings " are shocking. They where all out to try and get extra work from a fully "vetted " set up. Its a shame to see so many lie and cheat to try and force a customer into accepting the costs in order to gain a "satisfactory " pass . One of them a big player in London (lets call them "H" ) and they came out the worst . I am going to throw it all up to the media and see what they say

Probably sweet f.a

Not newsworthy enough when they’ve got politicians, princes and presenters to rip apart.

Would be interested in seeing the redacted reports listed in the arms.

Actual phone call I had this week kind of agrees with you.


Him “Can you do an electrical safety check on a property we are buying? We’ve got 5 days to flag up any problems”

Me “yes… I can do an EICR”

Him “yeh. One of those. Can you tell me how much?”

Me “ I’m X pounds per hour, and it can take up to 4 hours or more, depending on size”

Him. “We had one done at our last place, and it only took him an hour… and that was bigger. This is just a 2 bed house”



So I see where you’re coming from. EICRs are an art form, and only the experienced can get it right…. It’s just a job convincing the layman that the last bloke couldn’t have done it right

one of them might be seeing a letter that is also been sent to NICEIC on the grounds of possible "extortion " . He was challenged about the height of the building /floors and in his answer wrote he would not accept the facts and in order to get a "satisfactory "/pass he wanted to fit AFDD's where not needed at a cost of nearly £700.As per post about it a few weeks ago !. IT is such an easy scam for these companies . One company ("H") wanted nearly £2k and they also have some questions to answer !!!
