hi all

just wondering if out there working for joe public, electricians really test and complete certs for minor works like change sockets switches etc.
 
Of course we do ,how else we gonna justify charging enough to make the job worthwhile.lol.
 
If it's changing an existing fitting, I don't usually worry about a Minor works certificate. I always check the ends of a ring/radial socket ciruit at the CU though.

what do you mean by check the ends of a radial???:confused:

are you saying you short them together at a socket to make a loop and check at the CU:confused:
 
I test everything i do and would issue a minor works cert for an accesory change

If the person youre working for doesnt want to pay for a professional job they can get the bloke down the pub to do it then i'll come in to put it right:)

I love it when people change their own lights- all the reds together-all the blacks together- £25 for me to find the switch wire:D
 
:eek:£25.00:eek:i dont get my screwdrivers out for less than £50.00:)you seen the price of diesel lately.
 
very sorry to hijack your answer platform I've just finished my 2391 a wee bit ****ed and I can't find where on the site to post my views. Just me being drunk I'm sure!!
