And hour and a half for a periodic?

i've seen guys do it an hour

Mind they never even turned the power off

What are you doing periodics on? Dolls houses?

Well said Shakey. 1 hour 30 minutes on a periodic is an utter p!$$ take. How anyone can complete a full periodic inspection report in that time is nonsence.

I thought this site was for electricans not cowboys??? you could barely test the house in that time never mind inspect it. But its your name signed in the box not mine, good luck speedy.

My company (multi million pound co) charges £90 for a PIR which is charged at 3 hours labour. I wouldn't do it for that little though!
