Rewire?

[vernam616]

Quite a bit of scaremongering, sad that people have to resort to this to gain business

Precision Electrics - Complete or Partial Rewires

Looks a right pigs ear mate doesn't mean it automatically needs a rewire though as you know

 

[vernam616]

PAT for 50p too

 

[sedgy34]

Just been browsing this site, advert popped up on Gumtree

does anyone else think this property needs a rewire because of this DB?

Precision Electrics - Complete or Partial Rewires

is this your website??? also why do you ask that question as you cant determine that it needs a rewire from a 16th edition board

 

[gutterball]

look at their pat testing page "from 50p per item"

 

[needasparks]

Am I missing something as it does not say rewiring.

My opening few words were " Just been browsing this site, advert popped up on gumtree ", how can you possibly ask if its my site?

 

[vernam616]

Jesus ive just looked a little further

Precision Electrics - Fault Finding


Funny really as the one marked "Correct" has a grommit missing on the right

 

[axel132132]

Its a 16th edition board mate single RCD

 

[gutterball]

needasparks it says it under the picture

 

[pencilpusher]

I won't pull any punches here. That site is an absolute disgrace and must be run by cowboys. It is full of inacurate bull**** and is trying to scare anyone looking at it. Professionals? MY a**e. That's why some customers think tradesman are trying to have them over.

BTW, the website is cheap and tacky!

 

[Guest55]

There are so many liberties taken with the advice given on that website i dont know where to begin.
Scaremongering , definately.
And i wouldnt like to use their periodic insection services either , missing grommets code 1's galore lol.

 

[trev]

Am I missing something as it does not say rewiring.

Yes it does mate, right above the picture and first bit of blurb "Partial and complete rewiring"

 

[vernam616]

Im still in shock at the fault finding page, telling people that insulated neutral crossing over the insulated live is dangerous and can take someones life and it needs to be rectified asap

Don't you just hate all that arcing caused by "live and neutral wires crossing" ?

 

[pencilpusher]

Oh yes it does!

THE PICTURE ABOVE SHOWS A CONSUMER UNIT THAT IS OUT DATED AND IN NEED OF A REWIRE!!

oh and....

THE NEW 17TH EDITION WIRING REGULATIONS STATE THIS MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO BS7671 REGULATIONS!!!

Where precisely does it say that then?

 

[axel132132]

i was just looking at that, i dont get it in his pic it says CORRECT but.. below he says its an issue that causes arching?

CONFUSED???!

Scaremongering Axel

 

[vernam616]

This is why the trade is going down the S***ter

 

[geordie]

cannot find them listed on the NICEIC website

 

[trev]

I just filled in their contact form asking how you can tell from the photo that the property needs a rewire hehe

 

[Guest55]

Just noticed these cowboys are operating in the north east.
i think our geordie members should go round and give them a slap lol

 

[vernam616]

Id like to hear more about this arcing situation and how it actually happens

 

[Mark_Burgess]

I am surprised how much time you guys are looking and picking at someones website. (its nothing to do with me)
Thats the competition, they are clearly eerm in my opinion not very good.
All the time you are picking faults, they have the opportunity to find about it on this forum, that then gives them the chance to improve it.
Do you really want to help your competition the chance to improve their website and pricing of PAT testing?

 

[trev]

Fill in the form Vernam, it's on the contact us page We can swap notes when they respond to us

I would say tell NIC, but from what you guys tell me, they wouldn't care.

 

[Des 56]

Was really worried that I would have to call them out

As per the site warning about being 9 o'clock and the fuse box smelling
Its gone 9 o'clock and that smell turned out to be the Mrs after the curry she ate last night,relief

 

[telectrix]

another thing is the statement that it needs a qualified spark to change a fuse .FFS

 

[trev]

I got a reply!!!!! Twas a complete load of auld tosh.
"Thank you for contacting us via our website in regards to your question the answer is the current rules and regulations surrounding the bs7671 wiring regulations act 2008 you can find a copy of this online which will show you all the wiring diagrams and also stipulate the correct methods
If you look at the wiring in the picture you would tell the wiring is more than five years old and most people would look for signs etc and mcbs and RCD's as well as a test on the wiring conforming to part p installations" (SIC)
So there you have it guys, there's an act of parliament setting up the regs and youcan tell from a picture that because it's more than 5 years old it needs a rewire.

 

[vernam616]

get them to give you a quote, then hound them with awkward questions

 

[trev]

I've replied asking because our home wiring is more than 5 years old do we need a rewire hehe

 

[alarm man]

never put a good dog down..how many use that as a sales pitch..:shocked:

 

[Guitarist]

Now that would scare some people.

 

[robsparky1975]

No landline number,no postal address,surely most potential clients would run a mile,unless that is they are doing £100 cu upgrades.

 

[sedgy34]

Or hire TC. Him and Puss in boots make a pretty good team.

What choice do you have if a fuse blows and you are not a qualified electrician???
