    Cctv

    The designer from ESP designed the whole system. I thought ESP was more for diy, but they insisted they had been used in other schools in the area. Should have gone with my gut feeling and installed something else, but even my wholesaler was recommending them. im thinking of replacing the whole...

    Cctv

    We have recently installed an ESP CCTV system in one of our schools. This is the first time we have used ESP, so the rep visited us and showed us the setup, and all parties were equally impressed. Install went fine, 12 cameras inside and 13 outside.

    Fire officers

    it would still cost a huge amount done like that, and I know money is tight for them because of staff redundancies.

    Day rate

    We should be working together to bring our industries rates up, not questioning each other's pricing. It's a long time to become an electrician, and people deserve to be paid for their efforts.

    Day rate

    And before you ask, a full apprenticeship is at least 3 years experience, and 1 year working as an electrician, designing, fault finding and testing alone with no advice before you are considered qualified.
