I 100% agree with the above post !!
A little story..
A few days ago an old mate of mine text me and said" how much to add a socket half way up my wall for a wall mounted TV."
I thought to myself oh no, it's a newbuild its an akward job, its an old mate so I feel I cant make much money, Im in the process of setting up on my own and the phones been non stop.
I could really do without this !
Anyway I kind of ignored the message, I thought to myself I'll reply at the weekend. (I know what your all going to say).
Anyway yesterday afternoon he rang me from his Car, at 7:30pm he wanted to talk to me about this Electricain ( his wife's friends husband, or something) thats is still in his house.
He wanted to know if it's right that it usally takes 2days trying to install a twin socket he's said the guys been drilling holes everywhere and struggling, I don't think he knows what he's doing, he continued to tell me how this guys been trying to line holes up from upstairs to downstairs.
I the end he had to go to help the bloke pull a cable down.
I was checky and asked the price it was less than £150 and the chaps been there 2 long days already and he was still there !!
It looked from the pics that the chap had really tried the end job was probably safe but, 2 days ??
Anyway what the guys are saying is, although you may work safe, it's the little things we pick up when we all did our training that matter.
Simply things like unrolling cable, using trunking lid etc to fish cables up dot and dab walls etc. Leaving a bit of slack when second fixing lights etc, hundreds of tips past on from the older generation that hopefull we will be able to pass on.
Please don't get offended, but Electrics can be a gutty unrewarding job sometimes, and domestic is the worse
