Sorry I maybe didn’t explain it very well. There are earths at sockets & switches through the twin CPC’s yes. What had been noted was that now that the new boxes weren’t attached to the conduit like the old now defunct boxes were there was cable passing through unearthed conduit.
Have been asked to do remedials on an EICR that was carried out a year or so ago by another electrician. Curious to know what code you would give for the following. The system used to be conduit & singles but was rewired in twin at some point. By the looks of it the conduits were cut at top &...
What’s the best setup for a system that has a heating system with existing radiators but a wet underfloor heating system is being added to a new extension. I will need a 3 channel programmer I assume? The plumber mentioned having it on all the time but just working on/off the independent stat in...
First of all thanks for your help, good to get different views. Panic over! They’ve decided they will go ahead & get the work done. They said they weren’t against getting the board replaced they just thought the extra work would involve running 10mm earth through lobby where there’s laminate...
Sorry, forgot to reply to the other parts. Building control not involved no. I billed the customer for the other electricians work then paid him. I could swap the main switch for an RCD main switch as there’s only 4 circuits, this would keep the price down but I’m no keen to have the whole house...
Yes I get that you’re not meant to energise without protection being up to scratch. The problem being the kitchen had to get ahead as the kitchen firm had it booked in that week, I’d hoped to be back the following week to swap the board over. There was no new circuits added, just a few extra...
Priced to do kitchen electrics & mains board upgrade for someone a while back, they accepted my price. I explained that the mains needed changed as there was no RCD protection & prior to upgrade I’d carry out an EICR on the installation & if any C1 or C2 observations were made these would need...
I’ve not been out yet but he says the inverter is connected yes, he’s been using it to power the caravan he has been staying in whilst building this house. He has an isolation switch that feeds a supply cable to the house but he says it’s turned off just now. He says there’s 230v at it but he’s...
So...who has experience in this on here?? Not me for sure. Basically roughed in a new build for someone, was told he was haggling with the local authority over the price for putting power to his house, it's in the countryside. So I basically kept plodding on, got it all just about done, fitted...
To be honest I’ve no idea, there’s no manual, looked for one online but can’t find one. Element is fine. So, it’s a double oven, each oven has a top & bottom element, the one that wasn’t working was the bottom oven bottom element, it gets hot for a minute, then says HHH & starts cooling. So I...
