    I Understand The Electrical Symbol But What I Don't Understand Is....

    How this can actually represent the load on the back of a dimmer switch. It looks more like a rollercoaster with a tree fallen on its track. Can anyone shed some light on this before I waste hours of time on the internet trying to find the answer! Many thanks in advance, have a good evening...

    Those of you who don't join a scam provider, how do you sign off your own work?

    Do you guys work with building control and add the costs on, or do you refuse to take on notifiable work?

    At a difficult crossroads and don't know what to do.

    UK Constantly explaining why you don't do private work..

    Anyone else get fed up of explaining to friends & family why they cant do private work for them... No other trades have to jump through as many hoops Almost thought about paying a (part P) scheme to register work even though I am full time in Industrial Electrical work.
